Today’s forecast looked alarming and included a tornado warning all day. Fortunately, there were no tornadoes reported in and around our area. However, we did get plenty of rain and some early fog. During a short break from the rain, I captured these two images showing the beauty of pastel colors in the pond behind our deck. At the time of this writing, we have received two and a half inches (63 mm) of rain this morning. The fog and mist added to the soft pastel hues in both shots.
That is the story behind the shots. If you liked this post, you might also be interested in others featuring Landscapes, Round Rock, Sunday Stills, Teravista, and Texas. Until the next time, keep clicking and capturing the beauty your eyes find.

You’re fortunate to have a pond right behind you.
While driving home from Houston on May 6th we got hit with downpours several times, but then as we got closer to home the sky cleared completely. I’m glad to hear Austin got 2.5 inches of much-needed rain.
Egidio Leitao
Yes, we count our blessings, Steve. BTW, there’s another home for sale at the other end of this pond. This pond is Audubon certified, which explains all the wildlife I see around here.

Quasi romantico…se non fosse per il cattivo tempo.

Thanks, Margaret.
Anne Sandler
Lovely image and a lot of rain. That is similar to what we had toward the end of winter and into Spring here. I’m glad there was no tornado.
Egidio Leitao
Thanks, Anne. Also, there was no hail. Last week, during another storm, there was plenty of hail (1-in diameter).
Terri Webster Schrandt
Definitely a LOT of rain, but thankfully no tornados! Your misty morning pastel shots are stunning, Egidio! Hope all is still well there.
Egidio Leitao
Thank you, Terri. We had sunshine this afternoon. All’s well. Thank you.
Vicki
Lovely pastels.
That sounds like a lot of rain to me. Stay safe and dry. 🙂
Egidio Leitao
Thanks, Vicki. Yes, it was a lot of rain for one day. We needed the rain, though. Luckily, the sun came out in the afternoon.
