Overnight a front moved in with a slight drop in temperature and moisture filled clouds. I woke up to a very cloudy sky. I watched the rain come. It rained off and on for about an hour.
Then the wind blew away the clouds and rain. There were blue skies within an hour. We had no more rain. It always amazes me how fast the sky changes.
Here is a special occasion – a sighting of a wood stork! Mostly I occasionally see them nesting on tall lights. (Some counties put a nesting frame on tall lights in parking lots for storks to use as they have lost lots of their habitats.) This is a first, a sighting on the ground.

Amazing to spot the wood stork. Seems like an odd location. Hope he is healthy!
That wood stork is stunning! What a great photo!
Don’t you love it when a patch of blue creeps into the grey….! #Skywatch
Love that picture of the stork. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a picture of one. Thought maybe I’d see a baby being carried, lol.
…rain keeps the world green.
Lovely captures and interesting to note how special places have been designated for storks to nest.
Great clouds.
That wood stork looks so cool! Have never seen one over here…
Lovely clouds and bird. A stork sighting would be very exciting, indeed, as there are no such creatures in my neck of the woods.
The changing weather sounds like quite the spectacle! And a wood stork sighting on the ground is a special occasion indeed!
Awesome sky photos and that Wood Stork is amazing ~ thanks, ^_^

Stunning photo of Ms/mr Stork. When in Denmark for a summer, so many of the old cottage homes with the thatched roofs had a stork nest perched on their chimneys. They were very much like your stork except pure white with a dark head…gorgeous! Fun photo! made me remember. Sandi
I see quite a few wood storks in South Florida mostly near Boca when I visit. They are a striking large bird. We have had our share of clouds and drizzle this week.
Great photos of that rainy sky. Loved your stork. I remember seeing them on our last trip to Florida but that’s been years ago now. We have more snow coming on Monday.
Being British we are used to the weather changing in the blink of an eye. We don’t see many storks though, he’s amazing.
Wonderful moody pictures! And what a great shot of the wood stork!
