Clouds, Sunsets, and clouds at Sunset

Anyone who has ever had a farm knows that there is always something to do. Add in a hobby like gardening and it can be non-stop. Farmers have to plan their day in and sometimes through inclement weather, making farmers some of the original outdoorsman. I find myself outside alot and am usually dodging heat, rain, wind, and ram sheep from sunrise to sunset. As much as I hate being tethered to cell phones, they do provide a layer of safety and security when I am out working alone in solitude on my farm. But sometimes when I pause for a break I see something that I would like to share. So here in the dead of winter, I am sharing some shots of clouds, sunsets, and clouds at sunset from over the summer. I hope this warms you up and gets you ready for spring tornado season!

This 4th shot is one of may favorites and one of the first I started taking.

oldschoolsteel,

Welcome to DFS.
Your cloud pictures are beautiful.

I have been an amature photographer since I was 12. I became fascinated by clouds since I was 5 or 6. I am 85 and still find them to be perfect subjects. I had dozens neatly filed under "CLOUDS". Then Apples "Genius' got their itchy fingers on my computer and my file became no more.
I will send what I can at, probably, irregular intervals
Here is a starter. It was taken in Quebec in 2011.

Hey Marko here is a decent shot of the "corn sweat" we get to deal with.

Morning mist rising from the pasture

This is one of those spectacular "mothership" storm clouds. This picture does not do it justice. This storm was so big, it was actually 2 counties to my South.




OK. This is for Marko too. This picture doesnt look special but I took it for him. This was taken about 9 in the eve. It was 95 degrees and about 90% humidity with the corn sweat. The heat index when I took this picture was 107 degrees.

Looks like it could have been in one of several Mid-Western states.  Iowa?
