San Antonio's Rockstar Turned Realtor®

San Antonio Camera Phone on RErockstar.com - There's A Storm Brewing

A view down my street of an approaching thunderstorm.

I've always loved thunderstorms.

Today was a gorgeous day, but a storm was on its way.  As it approached and I noticed the change, I went into the middle of my street to check it out.  The above photo is the approaching storm as it built up on what had been a perfect, gorgeous day.  I decided to use the photos for my San Antonio Camera Phone series on my RErockstar site.  I didn't want to write an essay of the storm though, so I had more photos than I needed or thought would look good in the post, but I wanted to share them here.  They were all quick snaps with my iPhone, no filtering or editing.  I have to say, I'm impressed with the iPhone's camera so far.  Time for me to be quiet and let you enjoy the photos (click on any of the photos to see the original post at RErockstar).

Puffy white clouds, blue sky, sunshine, and an impending storm make for an interesting mix of color.

Dark clouds begin to fill in over the trees in my backyard.

Hey San Antonio - Do you remember what this is?

Thunderclouds over HEB on Guilbeau Rd., San Antonio, TX

When was the last time you saw this?

Remember rain?  Remember thunder and lightning?  I do...just barely.  I took this photo last year at the HEB on Guilbeau Rd (near Bandera).  It had been a beautiful day, but suddenly as I approached the parking lot, things got dark really fast.  If you look off in the distance of the right side of the photo, you can actually see the rain showers coming down to the northwest.  I remember standing there in the parking lot for a few moments, just amazed at the power of thunderclouds and how quickly they can form.  I wish we could get a few of these to form over my backyard soon.  This current drought has been going on for 16 months now in San Antonio and we all could use a few days of rain (although everything is so dry, we need some good slow and steady rain, not the pounding downpour of a thunderstorm like the one in the photo).  Quite a change from the rainy Summer of 2007, huh?

If anyone knows any rain dances, please send instructions.  I would love to see some green grass this year.
