Wondering If It Will Rain?

Late yesterday afternoon, it started to cloud up.  A front was blowing in and the clouds were twisting and turning.  I looked straight up and saw them spinning in a tight circle.  I wondered if that could have been a small tornado that didn't reach the ground.  I then hurried back in the house to get my camera, but when I came back out, the rotation had dissipated.  That was good, but I would have preferred that it had stuck around just a few minutes longer so that I could have gotten a picture of it.

I did, however, take some pictures of what was left.  Too bad it wasn't a video, to show the boiling movement of the clouds.  Here is the first picture that I took and you can see where the center of the rotation had been:

 

 And another showing the same spot a little later on:

 

 This last picture is a shot taken in the opposite direction.  All these rough looking clouds didn't produce a drop of rain, but a little later, going on 18:00, it did start to rain and we got a long, steady, but not too heavy of rain that lasted a long time.  Just what the doctor ordered.

Now I hope your day will be sunny and bright and a little rain if you need it.  No matter what the weather, you all have a great day, you hear?
