Description
This is looking westward from the back hill of Watershed Farm on the 12th Concession of King Township at the very crest of the Oak Ridges Moraine. Watershed Farm was technically in the northern suburbs of Hammertown. One day it will all be called Toronto. I loved those 25 acres which we turned into a natural paradise. We had honey bees to augment the creatures that called the Oak Ridges "Home". Opossums had also expanded their range and were residents as of 2005 or so.
The cloud deck had become overcast and embedded convection was making dark areas in the extensive cloud base. The cumulus towers were leaning northward with a gusty southerly wind. The horizon was occasionally lost with rain showers and by the time I finished the sketch, I was getting a few large drops of convective rain. Technically this should be called "Shower Clouds" but it looked like the showers were going to get more or less continuous in nature in just a short while. Those who were going to get wet would just call it rain.
The sky was only briefly this dark but it was when I locked in the colours.
