Storms over Fort Robinson State Park, May 16, 2020

Midday at Fort Robinson with a chance of rain. It blew through three times while I was in the area, once at Soldier Creek and twice here at the top of Smiley Canyon. For this round, I kept my back to the wind, getting my backside soaked but keeping the camera mostly dry, and looked for quick shots of the changing scenery. Most of them didn't quite work, but a few were more promising. This is from after most of the rain and shows a bit of the storm's western edge. Each of these storms were small, fast moving cells, and I could see far enough to watch them come and go.
