Easter 2008

These images I shot while I was out with my sister and mother. They have horses boarded just outside of Crawfordsville, a mare and a young colt about a year old. The rest of these images were shot on easter. It was nice and sunny, which made it a decent day with 40 degree temps. Towards the end of the day there was actually some vertical depth to the cumulus field. The cumulus were actually dropping big snowflakes, some of it was evaporting before it hit the ground which made some nice virga. I dont know if it was sublimating or melting before it evaporated but Im sure it was a bit of both. What was getting to the ground were big snowflakes. Virga usually happens with high cloud bases and a dry layer underneath. The dry layer is so low in humidity that it will literally act like a spong, soaking up the precip.
