The Dust Before The Rain

While on a road trip across West Texas, I witnessed this afternoon storm, kick up dust in its path, before deciding to rain.

Wellman, Texas.
Well man, there ain't nothing there except for a few houses, a credit card-only fuel pump, an old mill and, farmland in every direction for 50 miles or more.
With little else in sight, spotting this storm on the horizon was pretty easy and, a welcome change to the scenery.
In fact, it was just about the only thing interesting thing I'd seen in over an hour.
I decided to stop and stretch my legs, and hit the restroom after the long drive. Not that there was a restroom to be used. The only place in town that would have had one, was an abandoned cafe-grocery.
Well, OK... that's what trees are for, right?
Wait a second... there aren't any trees !?

I let the distant storm approach, and photographed it, until the dust was drown by the rain,
Wellman, Tx. Been there, seen it, shot it, no reason to stay, time to go.

If you are from Wellman, and I have offended you, I apologize; I'm just telling you what I saw.

For as sense of scale; those three, little bumps, on the horizon, are big 'ol Oak trees.
