Monsoon Clouds

Driving up to the Mogollon Rim Sunday for a speaking opportunity, we were able to watch the monsoon clouds gather. They are definitely unique -- the pictures don't do them justice, but we wanted to give it a try! We've had a few dust storms in the valley since we've returned from our travels, rain in the outskirts of the valley and in the northern part of the state, power outages and the like, so we are definitely in monsoon season. This is probably the most powerful weather season in Arizona. It is also when we get the bulk of our rainfall for the entire year.
Monsoon cloulds are unique because they seem to just mushroom up higher and higher into the atmosphere. You are able to watch them move and grow.
When you see the flat bottoms on the clouds you know there is a good chance for some rainfall. I am reminded of how incredible our world is, and how majestic it's creator.
We enjoyed clouds, wind and rain during our stay overseas, but they looked, felt, and acted very different from our own Monsoon Clouds.
