lavender sanibel sunset

 Summer skies on Sanibel are fantastic when the storm clouds quickly roll in and out changing the colors in an instant.

 I snapped these photos throughout Saturday and Sunday when I saw an extreme color change.

I’m always in awe of Mother Nature’s paint brush.

 Storm skies can be so beautiful… until the cracks of thunder make us head for shelter.

 Then after the rain dies down and the lightning passes…. chasing the rainbow begins!

 But it fades so fast…

 But no worries, just when you least expect it, a little piece of hope pops out again.
