    • Or tripping photos. I had to standin the rain for quite awhile to get the lighting. We have received 7 times the amount of rain tonight than we had all month. We’ve received 7/100 of an inch of rain tonight, making the total for the month of June 800th of an inch of rain. Thanks, JYP. Do you have any plans for the 4th?

      • Congratulations on reaching a whole 800th of an inch of rain!
        No real plans for July 4th. I was going to go to the town fireworks tonight (not because I like the fireworks or crowded events with my town, but because a favorite kosher caterer was planning to operate a pop-up restaurant there and I really wanted to order their food and leave) but the fireworks are cancelled due to weather forecast of more than 800th of an inch of rain. But, Fave Kosher Caterer decided to operate their pop-up restaurant from an indoor location, so I’m celebrating the 4th today with yummy food and no fireworks/crowds, and I am considering this a win! What about you?

        • That’s great you got some yummy for your tummy without having to deal with crowds or suffer fools. Laurie rescheduled her book group for tonight, so I’m psyching myself up to clean the house and deck. I might go out to the river and watch and photograph the fireworks on the 4th. Otherwise, no specific plans at the moment for mañana or the 4th.

  1. Thanks for always sharing your beautiful sky. Ours is smoke, so I appreciate your captures.

    • Some from wildfires is awful. Even though it’s super dry here, wildfires are minimal because everything got burned up a few years ago, and we were dealing with the smoke. Thanks, Mary Jo.

  2. After all the drought months, it must’ve felt pretty great to be in the falling rain. And this dramatic sky and the thunder and lightning…what a spectacle this storm was. Fantastic photos and words, Timothy.

    • Not a lot of rain. Our weather gage recorded 700th of an inch of rain bringing the total rainfall for the month of June to 800th of an inch. It was more show than pour. Or a poor pour. Thanks, Jet.

  3. Are these the Norse kind of monsters?

    O/T: WP has been a giant pain all day long … what else is new. Seems Reader is not working. You may have no idea of the new post submitted early this morning. Support not answering … I’m close to being done with them forever.

    • It could be a Norse monster visiting the southwest. We got 700th of an inch of rain out of the monsters. I just commented on your post. I got email notification but it did not show up in the reader.

  4. A beautiful rainbow, Tim. I have always loved those lightning photos of yours, too, though you don’t post too many. Can’t say I blame you for staying in and not risking being fried by a stray strike.

    • It’s hard to be in a good place to get decent lightning shots. Thanks, Lavinia.

  5. Those are two absolutely incredible shots Tim. I will say the word “trips” has extra cringe emphasis for me at the moment.
