Thunderstorm with rain that never reaches the ground.
What we call Spider Lilies finally decided to bloom after getting watered on Thursday
I missed the Strawberry Moon on Thursday night because of clouds and trees. Last night we were still at Laurie’s parents’ house a little after 10 pm when the post Strawberry Strawberry Moon rose.
Off Center & Not Even 
Looks ripe for the pickin’
I picked it up with the camera, at least. Thanks, Brian.
wow… looks like a filtered lens Timothy.. amazing❣️
Just a plain old lens, no filters. Thanks, Cindy.
You are amazing.. Welcome for sure💖
Beautiful photography Timothy 👍🤝
Thanks, Srikanth.
WOW!! Spectacular photos. Water – the most precious gift! We continue to be under a heat wave in Vancouver, without any cloud or hint of rain.
Laurie’s sisters in Seattle are suffereing. I hope you find creative ways to keep cool. Thanks, Rebecca.
The heat is heating up. YIKES!! Staying indoors and drinking lots of water. All the fans and air conditioners that were fully stocked in stores last week have been cleared. Yes – Seattle is sharing our heat so hope Laurie’s sisters are finding ways to keep cool, too. This is from an Edmonton article: “Meanwhile, the U.S. Pacific Northwest is also facing a historic heat through Washington and Oregon, with temperatures in many areas expected to top out up to 30 degrees above normal. The extreme heat is expected to break all-time records in cities and towns from eastern Washington state to Portland and southern Oregon as concerns mounted about wildfire risk in a region that is already experiencing a crippling and extended drought.”https://www.ctvnews.ca/climate-and-environment/headshaking-heat-wave-set-to-shatter-high-temperature-records-in-western-canada-1.5487110.
And here we are cool and cloudy with a little rain. 70 degrees right now.
Send us some rain!!! LOL!
Beautiful photo, really cool!
Thanks, Yolanda. I’m happy you like it. Is it still hot up your way?
Foto meravigliose 😉
Grazie Simona. Is it hot where you are?
Sì, tanto
It’s actually cool here today.
I like the colours of the spider lilies. Interesting the one with 8 petals.
And the skies are gorgeous again, day & night.
Thanks, Heidi. The spider lilies have interesting shapes. The skies never fail to entertain and wow us.
A strawberry moon. man, that is beautiful
Thanks, Shey.
The spider lilies are very interesting, and the moon shots are awesome. Thanks for sharing these shots with us.
They nice long pedals that make all kinds of interesting shapes. Thanks, Maj & Sher.
The theme of ‘light’ hits me with these, especially the single spider lily with the sunlight filtering through…and…the moon ‘next to’ the outdoor pole light. Fascinating juxtaposition, Tim.
Thanks, Mary Jo. Spider lilies are especially good for backlit shots. I liked the moon and light looking the same.
Those clouds and those spider lilies – stunning!
Thanks, JYP.
Flowers and skies are beautiful, Tim. And a very nice strawberry moon!
Thanks, Lavinia.
Looks like the Moon kept it’s ‘strawberry’ for you! And it doesn’t surprise me at all! 😉
Your spider lilies are thanking you!
I was happy about that post strawberry strawberry. The spider lilies are very happy. Thanks, Marina. I’m posting a new parody video tonight. Stay tuned.
Oh, I will!!!!! 👍
Wonderful photos, Timothy!
Thanks, Dale.
Wow, you did a great job with the flowers and the moon. It must have hard to get the moon. Nice one, Sir.
Thanks, Inchcock.
That’s so cool! I hadn’t even heard of the Strawberry moon! Super happy your lilies and other flowers got to take advantage of the irrigation ditch!
Thanks, Tiffany. There’s a name for every full moon each month.
You did an excellent job of highlighting the strawberry in the strawberry moon, Timothy. Wonderful photos of the spider lilies, too.
Thanks, Jet.
Fab moon and lilies!
So what happens to the rain? Does it just evaporate on its way to earth?
Hi Resa. Yes the rain simply evaporates before it hits the ground. We are getting real rain today. It’s nice and cool.
Ahh… it’s raining here, too. However, it’s not cooling things down It’s creating a sauna bath!
Loving that moon!
These are beautiful! The thunder brewing in the clouds is an amazing capture!
Thanks, Al.
