Sunday spectacular
The forecast was right for a change - we did have (actually, are having) thunderstorms tonight! *vbg*
And then this isn't a great picture, because it was on a hand-held long-exposure camera phone, but it began to rain as I took the lightning vid (obv. not photos!) and I went in - I popped out a while later though, and the skies had cleared enough for the moon to come out, shining on the track up the hill, surrounded by dramatic clouds - and then lightning flashed again, on the other side, and I'm pretty sure that's the pink you can see in this pic. *vbg*
I came in again to finish off some Job 2 prep and head to bed - and the storm is ongoing. It quietened down, but in fact it must have circled around, because there was lightning over the cow shed side of the house a few minutes ago - sheet lightning this time, where the yard was lit up in that amazing electric blue as I watched... I should have been in bed an hour ago, but I do love a storm, even a relatively gentle one like this one... *g*
