Gonna get wet?

Off I went to the beach this morning without first checking local radar for rain. Oops. What greeted me was a huge rain cloud out to sea and one couldn't mistake the water pouring out of it. Winds were from the east so I anticipated it being blown right to shore. I also didn't bring my umbrella so kept a stealthy eye on it.

However, the rain stayed at sea and the sun, highlighting the towering clouds, gave me the impression of fire and rain together. Eventually the rain and its cloud just dissipated. What was left was a beautiful and breezy morning on the beach. Joy — as usual.
