As I See It - 02.23.16 - Both Sides Now

There was a change in the weather today and clouds heralded the changes. From where I sit, I can look northwest and from I live I look west.

...clouds. This was the morning view from the crib.

Pic Of The Day - 09.03.15 - I Get The Hint

As I was getting ready for the work day, I noticed that The Calvinator had tumped his bowl over in an attempt to let me know it was empty. Really? Like I don't feed him before I leave his crib? #dramaqueen #dramadog

And in case you were wanting another cloud photo, here you go.

Another view of clouds from my office building. I love the blue sky, white clouds, storm clouds and of course the skyline.

And then this happened. This photo popped up on my Instagram feed. It's Derek Yates with his photo for Hump Day.

So when you take the first photo and add it to the second photo you get this:

It's not a monsoon. It's not a tropical storm. It's much needed rain.

This was my view from the office of the storm clouds.

Every now and then a sunset will stop me in my tracks. And, such was the case when I stepped out on the balcony to let The Calvinator out.

Pic Of The Day - 05.20.15 - Storm Clouds

When first looking at this photo, it may look like a puffy, white cloud against a dark blue sky. What it really is, is a grey cloud against really dark storm clouds.

We've had some really wet weather in H-town. It is a stark contrast to the drought of 2011 that changed the landscape of Houston. I'd rather have the wet weather than a drought but it would be nice if it was done in moderation.

Pic Of The Day - 09.09.14 - Illusions

I worked a little later than I planned.  As I was leaving, snapped this pic. It's a combo of sun, clouds, trees and shadows.

Every now and then, the sun and clouds align to give me a great view of the Houston skyline.  Tuesday was one of those days.

Or maybe I do?  Them are storm clouds.  Somewhere in the northern parts of the Greater Houston area a storm was brewing.  This was the view from the 4th floor of Legacy late in the afternoon.

I keep looking at clouds and I guess I really don't know them.

I snapped this photo while I was in line at Starbucks on W. Gray.  It was an interesting image with the palm tree and cloud reflecting in the window of the car in front of me.

There was fog and low hanging clouds in Houston and I really didn't notice it until I went into a huddle room to take a phone call.  We have a great view of the skyline from our building.

Later in the day I happened to be in the same room and saw the sun shining!

Waiting For Godot...uh, I mean Humberto

OK. So I sorta missed the last weather forecast and I've been looking at satellite images and someone is getting quite a bit of rain right now but it isn't raining in NoRO...yet. I did hear that if you live east of I-45 you had a high probability of getting hit hard. Well, I live about 3 miles west of I-45 so I don't nuthin' 'bout birthin' babies...I mean about storm tracking.

It has been odd today 'cause clouds are swirling all around us. Coming at us from different directions. That how it is with tropical storms. Ya just never know which way the rain is gonna come from.

It did rain for a bit while I was at LeFittes but by the time I finished there was some sun peeking through the clouds.

With all of these clouds swirling around me, I found myself humming Judy Collins' Both Sides Now.

Bows and flows of angel hair and ice cream castles in the air

And feather canyons everywhere,

I've looked at clouds that way

But now they only block the sun they rain and snow on everyone

So many things I would have done, but clouds got in my way

I've looked at clouds from both sides now

From up and down and still somehow

It's cloud's illusions I recall

I really don't know clouds at all
