We’ve had some wonderful monsoon weather the previous month which has been a much appreciated change of pace from the usual desert-like summers we’ve had. For weeks, every day would start gloriously cloudy and once the fog burned off the small, pretty cumulus clouds would build and build and build all day until they swell and burst in the late afternoon.
Some mornings it would start out with huge clouds reaching to the sky already with high ceilings and whisping virga. But just about every day was full of amazing skies.

And every evening, the showers and thunderstorms would play out, the clouds would break and reveal the most stunning sunsets. Giant swaths of leftover thunderheads reflecting the setting sun, lighting up under the decking of high clouds in brilliant oranges, pinks, purples, golds in jawdropping succession.

There were several days where the sun dipping over the horizon lit up the lowest clouds like a fire. Far away explosion of light, with all the textures and colors more brilliant than I could ever dream up.

I found myself hunting for the highest vantage point to get the most of the sky, going for walks to find just the right view to soak it all in every day.

The weather broke late last week after a long, slow storm. We’ve had clear skies for days now, but no matter what the weather brings, Texas sunrises and sunsets are almost always downright amazing.
