Triple Threat

Got out for my first hike this weekend. With weather looking very likely to rain.

Partly sunny to start the day, even started getting warm. But this spring has been close to a record for the amount of rain we've been getting. And it continued today.

This is more HDR, as the clouds built up. There were a LOT of people out today hiking and biking. Till the first rain shower started. Then it seemed most of the people vanished. Maybe they melted? Fortunately I packed a rain coat, and had a good spot to wait out the rain and thunder for half an hour or so. Then it sorta cleared, and was nice again for a while.

Till the next batch of clouds rolled in. The rain forced to wait it out again. Turned this photo black and white for a little drama! The cycle repeated and it cleared up again, looked pretty nice and sunny. With more clouds on the way.

Just became the story of the day. Sunny and nice in between rain showers and cold, sometimes with thunder and lightning. Getting later in the day. After the third rain shower, it cleared more and I was able to finish my hike with some really nice weather. And almost all the people were gone. Too bad because the weather finally was the nicest it had been all day!

Getting ready to head out. As the next wave of clouds was moving in. But that's just fine - I was home bound for a hot shower and a cool beverage!
