I woke up late this morning, happy that I slept so long, but not happy as it cuts my time short for the stuff that I like to do in the morning, such as write this blog…I was grousing to my husband that I was short of time to devote today, and still needed to come up with a topic. We headed out the door with our cups of coffee, one of the morning routines, sat in my chair, and then turned to look out of the screened in patio room to see an incredible sight!
Virga, which you will see in the following photos, is a visible streak of rain coming down that evaporates before ever hitting the ground. I am sure you have seen this at some time no matter where you live, but this was the biggest drop of virga I have ever seen!
What I saw this morning
A bit closer
Wispy virga
As the sun rises the colors change

I would love to see the river from your house someday Z! I am so glad that we have become friends from this wonderful world of blogging! Hugs to you my friend!
Hi Barb, I’m going to visit you for a little bit so will hold my comments until I’m done, well accept for right now (lol). This shots are amazing, how lucky for you to have captured them!
How lucky for me that this was there as I was having an issue coming up with a blog topic!
What a great one! Just really fascinating and so well done my friend!

This phenomenon is completely new to me. Spectacular!
Wow, what fabulous photos. Sometimes it pays to sleep in!
It did yesterday! I sent two of these photos to one of the local weather reporters. It was an amazing sight!
Those are amazing! Bet you’re glad you slept late now
I was! If I hadn’t I would not have been out there at that particular time to write this blog!
Great colorful photos, usually see virga in shades of grey. Thanks for the share.
