There are highway signs in the mountains that warn drivers that the weather conditions in the mountains can change rapidly. I thought about those signs yesterday evening.
I was sitting in the living room and happened to look out of the window. I noticed some dark clouds building over the Cariboo Mountains which I thought looked interesting with the very green trees, accented by the purplish-pink flowers of the lilac tree in the foreground, so I shot the photo at the top.
It was only seven minutes later when a sudden rain storm hit, ushered in by furious gusts of wind. That storm must have come from the opposite side of the Valley.
Everything out the window had changed. It was darker, all of the colors in the scene became muted, and the Cariboo Mountains disappeared.
There is an old saying that I have often heard: “If you don’t like the weather, just wait five minutes.”
That certainly was the case last evening.
