Stormy evening

Summer is the dry season in Idaho. In July, we average a third of an inch of precipitation. That's like a half an hour worth of summer in Georgia. Nevertheless, it does sometimes rumble a little. The other day there was a fire in the mountains (run boy run!) that made a huge smoke plume over town all morning. I think it must have helped with moisture condensation because we had a pretty nice thunderstorm in the late afternoon. Classic bruisy sky followed by wind, then thunder and some good hard rain. I loved it. Thunderstorms make it feel like summer, although it is pretty nice that 95% of our summer days are blue. 

Look! There was even a rainbow!!

Check out this crazy sky. This is that magic moment right at sunset when everything is pink. It was amped up even more because there was rain in parts of the sky. Everything was gold and blue.
