Weather, what we mean by that term in NC.  There is no such thing as a gentle rain, sprinking, or an all-day rain.  There is SUN, or CLOUDBURST, nothing in between.

I captured an impending storm from my front porch while enjoying an early-morning cup of coffee (by early morning, I mean 10:30).  Played up the clouds with PaintFX’s Green Glow effect.

True to form, it rained really hard for about 20 minutes, but before I could cancel my pool outing, the sun was out and everything was dry again.
