PhotoHunt - Reflected flash

Sky Watch - Blue and white

Last week we had some very spring like days, with comfortable temperatures and low humidity. Now we are back to summer with temps near 100 and heat index 105.

PhotoHunt - Hot, but not so much

Today was predicted to be the hottest yet and possibly break records (Thursday did break some records around the Washington area.) The clouds moved in early and even though it was the 90's when I went out, this is what it was back home at 2:15. Thunderstorms were predicted, but seemed to have stayed well south of us.

Sky watch - More sunsets

 Above a sunset from late May and below is another shot taken a little after my sunset last week.

Photohunt - Hot flame

Sky Watch - Carolina skies

and a Maryland sunset. We have been busy the past few weeks. The kitchen is finished and we have moved everthing from boxes to the new cabinets. Marianne's sisters visited and we took a trip to North Carolina for a family gathering at her brother's house.

Sky Watch - Approaching storm

We have been having our summer thunder storms early this year. This one was on on May 29. The first shot was 6:18 PM, the others about 2 hours later. The colorful streak appeared suddenly. I thought it might be arainbow forming, but no circle of color appeared in the sky. As I post this there are wide spread storms across the area with some tornado warnings.
