SUMMER STORM

During the afternoon big puffy clouds formed in the sky.

The air got really muggy and hot.  Thomas melted.

The clouds got blacker and uglier.


The wind began to blow.

Lightning!  And the clap of thunder that followed sent Thomas flying for cover.

Then big fat raindrops fell.  Everything was washed and cooled.  Whew!

Great pictures!! I still have not managed to capture lightning. I don't think I ever will.

With this and the previous post, I get the impression that's some interaction with Nature that you've having over there!

CeeCee: I fudged the lightning shot with Photoshop. It was another "reenactment" of a moment when I was too shocked to think of taking pictures.

Pam: Either that or I'm just paranoid.

Thomas was right to run for cover! (He's cutie!) You captured the essence of a storm perfectly.

I like how you levitated your kitty. You are so magic! Thunder lightening and loads of rain here- Makes me incredibly sleepy- we don't have your beautiful skies- just bland darkness, no drama, the lightening is not even interesting.
