Thunderhead~SOOC Sunday~082811

I noticed just a couple of thunderheads when I was up at the horse ranch yesterday.  Just two peeking over the mountains nearby...By the time I was driving down the mountain, from the ranch to the desert, through the pinyon forest, more had developed.  NOBODY was on the road, so I was able (for once) to stop and take photos mid-road.  I sometimes do that if there is no traffic and I have my camera right beside me.  It was so quiet yesterday (I'm not sure why...) that I was able to get photos in places that I normally just zip by (like this one).  By the time I got to the desert, the sky was clouding up and we had a thunderstorm by 11:30 a.m., which is very early in the day for us.  No rain, just a lot of thunder.  SOOC Sunday for August 28, 2011.  To see other participants, please go to:  http://www.murrieta365.com/
