the last 6 years extremely rewarding my friend.

Thank you for sharing.

As evening descends on the Emerald Canyon, some larger thunder boomers start to
build in the south like mountains ranges out west.


Clouds building on a July afternoon, in Lakewood, Ohio. Though it is called,
"The Paris of Cleveland's inner-ring suburbs." It also seems like Florida,
with our afternoon rains.





Yep, I think it is going to rain today.

In this group of swirling clouds the center opened for a brief moment...



...then closed as the rains started.

Sun sets on the hottest day of the year.

From Wikipedia
Red sky at night
A red sunset probably[1] means good weather tomorrow.

In North America:
Red sky at night, sailor's delight,
Red sky in the morning, sailors take warning.

In the United Kingdom:
Red sky at night, shepherd's delight,
Red sky in the morning, shepherds warning.

Or
Red sky at night, shepherd's delight,
Red sky in the morning, sailor's warning.

As well as other variations, such as this one from Denmark/Norway, which
translates to "Morning red gives wet days, Evening red gives sweet days":
Morgenrøde gir dage bløde.
Kveldsrøde gir dage søde.

Italian variation goes as:
Rosso di sera, bel tempo si spera,
rosso di mattina mal tempo si avvicina.

Always makes me think of Hendrix.

In this era of not being allowed to talk about politics or economic development.

Thought maybe...
