As I left my studio/home this afternoon, the thermometer read 104 degrees F in the shade, although there were clouds around...
in the northeast, the Boullion Mountains and the Sheephole range were disappearing in a thick low cloud that looked like rain...
there were dark clouds beyond Copper Mountain to the southeast as well, and then, startlingly, sun shining on the hills beyond so that they looked pure white...(could this have been hail covering?)
to the south, over the town of Joshua Tree, I could see a few streaks of rain going down...
as I got closer they became thicker and darker...
a wide-angle view...
I arrived in Joshua Tree to discover there had been a short heavy rainfall, leaving huge puddles in the low spots...and it was a humid 73 degrees F...

If you'd told me the last four were your paintings, I would have believed it. Gorgeous.
