Storming the Sunset

It didn’t seem threatening at first, just a cumulus cloud backlit by the sun and sending streamers across the sky. However, as our boat cruise about the lake and its adjacent waterways progressed, the cloud grew and began dropping rain. Fortunately, it was to on the opposite side of the lake and headed away from us, though we kept a close watch on the weather radar.

As we meandered through the watery maze of canals and other small lakes it was fun to watch the storm clouds grow and begin dropping rain here and there, until it dawned on us that one batch of such clouds might be headed our way. With cautious optimism, we proceeded back the way we had come, still fascinated by the views of the water and the weather.

Once back on Henderson Lake proper, a partial rainbow appeared in the general direction of our dock, glowing against the falling rain. So was that a good sign, or a bad one? Well, that’s another story.
