Caught in the Storm

The weather report did state that there was a strong probability of a severe thunderstorm.
At 13:30, I decided that the sun was shining and the humidity would only decrease in the event of a rain storm.
As I walked up Boswell Hill from the town of Maine side, I realized that I was walking into a huge thunderstorm at a right angle.
I was so annoyed at my self for arriving at the highest elevation as the storm glided very close overhead.
The wind wasn't a problem although, it was a very different situation down in the valley.
The problem was the lighting, it was far too close.
Anyhow, I am glad that the temperature did not drop significantly, in the past, I have ended up standing in the shower with my hands clasped under the shower nozzle.
Today, I did not enjoy the spectacular color of the sky just before the storm hit, I did feel concern about the electrical discharge that at times seemed to occur everywhere.

Useful Purposes For A Railing

I was very glad to get outside on Wednesday, I hadn't walked at all during the week.
I usually try to take a few video clips with the intention of using them in a video at a later time.
Another one of my childhood favorites is 'Strange Kind of Woman' recorded by Deep Purple in 1971.
I have had a copy of Fireball since I was young in the third grade.
The railing provided a useful effect to the video.

In Need of Rain

If rain does not occur, the streams will recede and growth will decrease.

That is how it is at this time.

We need rain.

A Few Days Apart

The quickest walk on Thursday was a trip to the health-food store.
My one pound of whole nutmeg has arrived.
It was a lazy Thursday, I decided to grab the camera and walk all of three blocks to the store.
Usually, I can acquire enough material to use it in some type of production.
