The Power of Storms

Powerful storms can be deadly and damaging.  Yet there is something beautiful about how Mother Nature displays her sometimes terrifying moods. The pictures  Donald took for his 2013 Stormy Weather calendar  shows that beauty but at the same time still reminds us of the power of storms.  Even in the darkest of  times, he still manages to find and hold moments of exquisite beauty and light.

Here are three of my favorites for the calendar.  They all capture the swirls of energy in the cloud patterns  and light play of the impending storms.

Dark, brooding clouds certainly do herald a deluge! Yet the glimpse of a brighter sky suggest that the storm will pass quickly.

The swiftly rotating funnels of cloud caught on Donald’s camera hint at the possibility of tornado formation.  Scary!
