This is my 8th time participating in Skywatch Friday. One thing about lots of dramatic weather (which we have had here) is that it offers lots of dramatic skies. I took a truckload of photos again this week. Initially, I had this idea about doing a week with nothing but clouds and sky, but that got kind of boring and I think the clouds sort of lose something without the contrast of trees and land. As usual, I took a gazillion pictures and am posting too many. Die hard cloud lovers can see all the ones I didn't post here.Sky Watch Friday is hosted by Tom at Welcome to Wigger's World and I hope you'll make it a point to visit his wonderful site as well. He takes awesome photos.
This one was out my front window. Something about the double paned glass distorts the color, but I thought the clouds were interesting anyway.
Believe it or not there was another rainbow in the same spot... the third I've seen since I started taking pictures out the back door. There was so much excitement about last week's rainbow that I thought I'd post another this week.
I thought this was a really unusual sky.

It looks like a lot of the photos were taken of the same clouds. Like there are two sets of different clouds. I run into that all the time. I take a picture here and then look over there and take another and before long I have a lot of photos. None are as nice as yours though.

You always have amazing collections! I have a weakness for rainbows :)
You always have so many. A very interesting set, shwoiwing the variations in a moment
As Babooshka said, some great variations in the cloud.
It's amazing how quickly the formations change.
You have a lot or great shots..clouds, rainbow, thunderheads. I loved your Skywatch Friday.
Beautiful SWF rainbows today. Good sky shots.
What a nice collection, raven, especially that last one.
incredible kewl fotos, imagine if u use film camera how expensive! keep up!
Great SWF photos. I love rainbows and those big puffy clouds. The last shot is really impressive. Almost looks as if it were two photos merged together. Great job. Cheers!
Wow Raven - I would have a hard time too.
I could talk about all of them :) but I'll highlight that the second one makes me want to put a musical note on the wire, the ones with the dark clouds and green trees I love as well as the ones near the bottom with bright clouds and green.
Another rainbow - wow - remember I told you that you were supposed to see it.
Clouds are addictive, once you get hooked on them you never get eneough, eyes glued to the sky for opportunities. I like yours, especially the grey mushroom one contrasting with the brightly lit, crisp cumulus.
rainbows are always an uplifting sight - it's nice you caught a shot of one!
You have the most amazing sky near you. How magical to get the rainbow to appear 3 times for you. Happy SWF.
Glad that you emptied almost your whole truck here! Good set of photos.
Wow! Quite a series you have here. A lot of work!
Some of those are very dramatic - AND a rainbow !
Very nice photos, Raven. Some of them quite dramatic.
I love series of sky pictures ;-)
So many nice photos!
The last one is dramatic, it looks like an avalanche.
Interesting, these various clouds, indeed one could take hundred pictures of them. And again a rainbow, lucky you!
I see you had your nose up in the sky the whole week, lol ! I do that too, since I participate in this game, lol !
You have some wonderful pictures. I especially like the 3rd one through the double pane. Thanks for sharing.
My SWF post
Spectacular photos. Love the one with the rainbow! Have a nice day!
Amazing collections!
beautiful!!
have a nice weekend =O)
Beautiful range of cloud moods! funny how once you start taking sky pics it is so hard to stop! The sky changes so quickly!
The rainbow for me, please!
You got some angry looking skies there Raven! There's one about midway down that looks like a sky-sized mushroom that caught my eye. I might have to consider this meme myself, Carmi at Written, Inc. used "Sky" as the Thematic Photographic prompt a few weeks ago (around the 4th of July I believe) and there were some incredible skyscapes that surfaced for that (including a few of mine I was quite proud of).
Nice series!

Great photos.
Some very powerful clouds in your series, Raven. Very powerful, indeed.
Nice collection, Raven. And wow! You've seen three rainbows from the same spot? I haven't seen a rainbow from my yard for months so I'm a teensy bit jealous...OK. a LOT jealous. ;-)
Thanks for stopping by again this week and for the nice comments. I really like the rainbow shot.
Wow what a great selection of skies! I absolutely love the 2nd and 3rd one with the lines through the pictures. Nice sharp contrast against the clouds. Have a great weekend!
At time I don't know which cloud picture I want to post.
To me they have there own unique story behind them.
Mine is up when you have some free time stop on by.
The coffee is always on.
You saved the best for last, Raven. I also love the third from the last, framed by beautiful evergreen!
Great shots, Raven! I especially like the last couple. Lots of dimension in your shots... so much texture.
The rainbow rocks too... of course, being that I am so passionate about the weather and the sky... I followed the link. :O)
Some interesting skies... particularly the last and the one with the tree in it.
Nice series of sky shots, Raven. I particularly like the "mushroom" cloud with the burst of light at the base. Nice capture.
Beautiful sequence, Raven. The changes are subtle one at a time but very dramatic all together!
Thank you for scrolling down my blog. I love your Creative Photography posts
This what I call a really sky watch post!!
Amazing indeed thas last one!
Thanks for visiting Bum blog, and btw...to see boys Bums click the label "He" :)
What a nice collection of clouds!
:-Daryl
Choosing is always a challenge for me too because I love them all for different reasons. If you numbered them I could tell you the 3 I like best, but I keep losing count for some reason today. Isn’t it fun to watch the sky change throughout the day? I shared at Sacred Ruminations today … with cloud collages.
Hugs and blessings,
Hi Raven!
These are wonderful photos! I love the one that looks like a snowy mountain! Or at least to me it does. ;-) Nice work. The Rainbow is pretty also.
Hugs,
Kimmie
Great set of photos! I love the rainbow!! Clouds are so lovely! Well done!!
Raven,great shots. I think we can take any amount of pictures featuring the sky, evening or mornig, high noon, with its ever changing aspects of clouds, colours, rain and wind it is always different and beautiful.

Sorry, Raven I think I pressed it twice!
You have a great cross section of the diverse skies. Beautiful shots.
Rainbows and clouds.. what more could you ask of the sky.. wonderful as always.. thanks for sharing
Raven,
Thank you for your visit. I"m guessing that these sky-graphs are the many moods of Raven? A M A Z I N G !
These are just superb,I really like the one with the rainbow but they are all excellent
some of the sky you posted looks quite menacing... just the kind i like. but i always love a rainbow.
Nice collection...you've been quite busy...

Very nice photos and fun to come by, happy week end!
Thats a lot! I see on the 3rd foto a bunny with its tongue out =P
Happy weekend! Great skywatching!
A truckload of photos :-)) yes, I recognize that : it's very addicting once you start looking at the sky. And the last one indeed is very very special.

You have a load of great sky photos here. That last one almost looks as if you've mixed a sky and a snow-field - wonderful!
Nice collection of pictures. The last picture is very unusual - it looks like ground.
Thanks for stopping by my blog!
Hey Raven, I don't know what hoppin' with me. I had seen these earlier and thought I had left a comment, I am sorry you had to seek me out.
Those skys you found are beautiful, I like the rainbow the best. I have a few of these on my original blog.
