Texas Weather

There is a photographer back home that is always posting amazing shots of the sunsets and sunrises of Eastern Idaho. For those of you that have experienced this, you know what I'm talking about. Its one thing I really miss about home. For the most part, its always just HOT here. I'm grateful we have palm trees to break up the horizon and add a tropical feel to the place, but I really miss the mountains. That being said, we get some pretty great storms in late spring, early summer. The night we moved here was the worst storm the RGV has seen in decades. And we're susceptible to hurricanes, though I've yet to experience one (thank goodness!).

The other day, we had a pretty strong thunderstorm that rolled on through. I actually really love seeing the dark clouds rolling in and hearing the thunder rumble. Its a nice break to the monotonous heat and I've always loved a good storm. Brett got home from work just as the storm started to clear out. We looked outside and everything was cast in a beautiful orange hue, left over from the storm combined with the sun starting to set. It was beautiful! We saw a complete rainbow right over our home and decided it was a nice photo op. :) We hope you enjoy a little taste of the Texas weather.

You can see the one end of the rainbow! I guess we should have looked  for  the pot of gold in our backyard.
