bows and rays…

We have finally received some better moisture intrusions into the Albuquerque area, and as a result we’ve had isolated afternoon thunderstorms over the past few days.  For the most part, storms have been short-lived and unfavorably located (just a few sprinkles here at the house), but a “monsoon pattern” will hopefully take over before too long.  I haven’t had much opportunity for any lightning photography yet, due to all of the overtime I have been working lately.  I finally had today off, and was busy doing other errands when Margie let me know there was a nice double rainbow outside.  So, I snapped a few quick shots from the front yard.

Looking to the west I captured a partially hidden sun behind remnant cloud debris from dissipated storms with crepuscular rays diverging outward.
