Fluffy clouds
The clouds last night were amazing. Fortunately the bulk of the 2″ hail passed a few miles to the east of us.

Toad on a water spout
A few drops of rain after 45 days of 100+F temperatures brought these toads out of hiding. I found them cooling off in our garden pond this morning.

Night sky with bright lights below and airplane light trail

First step in Cedar Park’s Bell District (artificial downtown) project: make sure no one lays down on the big limestone slabs by the crosswalk to nowhere.
