Thanks, Jim.

It's just that I'm having trouble getting the image in my head. Last 
pass, the weather didn't cooperate at all and it rained throughout most 
of the window of opportunity.  Today, the gorgeous cloud formation left 
the area about an hour before sunset.

But I've got the groundskeeper's blessing, so I'm going to keep going 
out there until everything happens the way I have it visualized.  i may 
follow through on the suggestion to try the same shot in all four 
seasons as a series, too.
