After The Storm

Tuesday, June 9th, 2009

Funny thing how almost always after a storm you get a rainbow or a beautiful sunset, almost as to make up for the storm and damge it may have caused.  After tonights crazy hail storm the sky turned into a colorful pallet of color as seen here by stitching together a few images looking at the south sky 8:30 PMafter-the-storm1

Crazy Hail Storm

Tuesday, June 9th, 2009

Using our property as an outdoor studio, Karla and I spend a lot of time caring for and planting flowers and shrubs. It’s really beautiful when the sun shines and the summer breezes blow by.  Then all of a sudden as the heat builds ,like today Tuesday June 9th,the late afternoon sky darkens and the wind starts to blow,the thunder and lightning follow.  Unexpected was a 20 minute hail storm that was the longest and most I have ever seen in my life . It actually poured off the roof and laid in piles covering flowers and ruining many others. While things could have been much worse, we did loose a lot of what we have worked on this spring in our garden and around the studio grounds. Oh well., tomorrows another day..hale211hale081hale261
