stormy weather

stormy times!

there's a ruckus in the air! clouds roiling and moiling every which way!

yester eve was coloured and filled by great rolling rumbles of

thunder and lightning that played across the sky

in the true and full use of the word "play".

in the middle of the night,

as i was settling into a good facsimile of what my fifty two year old body calls a "night's sleep",

there was another game played by the way up there club.

bang!! smash!! flash!! kaboommmmmrrrrrrmmmmbbbbllle!!

truly spectacular!!!

the day unfolded with thick air that has travelled all the way from the gulf of mexico. past my friends in texas, swung over north carolina, over the skies of washington, up and over ohio, 'cross lake erie, over my son alan's head down in london, and then eventually over my head here in peterborough.

so bloggy friends and loved ones.

we have shared the air!!

here's what it looked like by the time it reached us.

passionate cloud kisses.

huge hail in austin, texas

a few days back, heavy weather hit - and i mean really hit (!) austin texas. the results are documented in this collection of images hosted by the local newspaper. to have a look at what came down on those poor people. have a look here.

that's some of the largest hail i've had a look at.

y'all keep your heads down now!!
