Last week I shared photos from my neighbors in Bldg. A. Today we’re looking on the other side of my building to Bldg. C. It’s not as close to my building in the layout of buildings in the complex, and I don’t really know folks there. Sad.

October Stormy Weather
After last week’s post on the beautiful sky, it dawned on me I rarely share the rainy times and the dark clouds. I must admit that I don’t run outside when the rain storm comes. I usual sit and just watch and listen. If it’s dark outside, I’m just listening. Since it’s still the rainy season here in central Florida, I made an effort to show you some of the drama.

End of July at the Condo
Today’s photos were snapped here early one morning before the heat of a central Florida summer drove me inside. Most days start with startling blue skies and white clouds. Most afternoons rains move in.

End of June Nature & Fun on Facebook
Today I’m sharing memes and photos from Monday and Tuesday on Facebook. I’ve shared before that I follow several local weathermen who share interesting sky formations and explanations. Last week was no exception. They periodically explain about shelf clouds. Last Monday, June 30th, there was a shelf cloud in the Tampa Bay area as a line of thunderstorms moving onshore put on quite the show.
Read MoreA shelf cloud is a low, horizontal, wedge-shaped cloud associated with a thunderstorm’s gust front. It forms when cool, dense air flowing out from a thunderstorm (the gust front) meets and forces warmer, moist air upwards, causing it to condense and form a cloud. Shelf clouds are often dramatic, appearing as a long, low, and sometimes ominous cloud formation along the leading edge of a storm.
A Nice Day By a Lake
This time of year here in Central Florida it is already unbearably hot and humid with a heat index in the 100’s (F). Sometimes a front moves in from the north with cooler air. Then I dance a little jig and take a walk. It doesn’t last long and doesn’t happen often in summer. I’ll take what I can get.

Wednesday in The Condo Grounds
Our dry season here in Central Florida is coming to an end. We’d not had rain for a while until a nice wet front moved in from the west. It had originally come from Texas across the Gulf coast to Florida. We had rain late Friday, some again on Saturday, and finally on Sunday. Everything green is smiling.
