More Rain

Timothy Price3 Comments

The Rio Grande had more water in it at 5:30 a.m. this morning

I walked my five miles in the rain again this morning. The rain gauge showed 0.61 inches of rain when I left, and 0.70 inches when I got back. It stopped raining as I finished my walk, and the rain gauge still shows 0.70 tonight. I thought the rain coming in from the west would make it to us, but it stopped short of delivering any rain tonight. We got some decent light shots while watching and waiting to see if the storm would rain on us.

The moon showed through for a brief moment

Water was flowing the full width of the river tonight.

Although we didn’t get rain from the storm, I got some lightning photos out of it.

Waiting For The Storm

A wall of rain that never reached us

Lighting was getting close

Loki: “Impresive lightning, Paparazzo. Where’s the storm? Where’s the rain?”

Paparazzo: The storm and rain seems to have Petered out before it got to us.

Loki: “That Peter god, or whoever he is, needs to ‘Man Up’ and start peeing on us!”

Paparazzo: “I love your cat logic, Loki!’

Teagan’s Storm

Lately, when I write a song, I make a version of the music for me and a version for Teagan. Teagan’s version of The Storm is difficult because it has a wide vocal range and requires a powerful voice. Teagan nailed the range with her powerful vocals.

The Storm
by Timothy Price

[Verse 1]
Riding on the edge of night
Rainbow storms play on left
Sun shines on the right

[Chorus]
Light bounces off gray clouds
Shadows cling to the ground
Dead trees stare at useless rain
Much too late to ease the pain

[Verse 2]
Standing against the wind
Vultures circle overhead
Wishing my demise

[Bridge]
Angels ride
On lightning bolts
The gods argue
Their thunder rolls
Primary colors
Come undone
Trying to calm
The violence
Of the sun

[Outro]
Light bounces off gray clouds
Shadows cling to the ground
Dead trees stare at useless rain
Much too late to ease the pain

Some Like It Hot

Stop and enjoy the pre-dawn colors

“Is this how people Wok their dogs?”

Uh! No, Silver. People “Walk” their dogs.

“Seems like a waste of energy.”

It’s good exercise.

“Oh! Well! If you’re casting demons out of dogs, that’s another story altogether.”

Not “exorcise,” Silver. It’s exercise. You know like activity, moving, running around.

“Still seems like a waste of energy. If you’re not going to Wok dogs, you should at least exorcise them”

Never mind, Silver. Enjoy your box.

“it’s a hot little box. I love it!”

The storm that chased me this afternoon.

We got a really violent thunderstorm this afternoon. The wind was strong, driving the rain sideways, and the visibility was low. The weather station recorded the event as producing 0.95 inches of rain. The wind-driven rain got almost everything on the deck wet.

Gully Washer

Clouds were building up in the late afternoon. We got a fifteen-minute gully washer at 6:40 pm. Turn up the volume on the video and listen to the rain.

Fido blowing in the wind in Saturn on the Rio Grande.

We got lots of rain today as promised by the forecast.

A slight break in the weather about 30 minutes after I got all wet carrying groceries from the store to the car and then from the car into the house in the pouring rain. Les choses sont contre nous!
