the setting sun

I have a new lens......

well to be truthful I have had it since May!

It is extremely heavy.  Mr P bought it for me for our anniversary and honestly I thought it must be good for snapping motor sport and that is why he bought it for me... 

(I know, I'm not very nice).  

But then over the weekend, during all the storm activity I remembered the new lens.... (it doesn't fit in my camera bag with my other gear).

It has been a  long time since I have been into taking photos, but now, re-interest is stirring!

Lots of clouds in our area but no more storm activity since last weekend.  Bring it on I say, I want to take pics!

Stormy Skies

Wild weather over the south east this past weekend.

Thunder, lightening, hail stones.

Fortunately for us, all we got was some good soaking rain on Saturday night and some thunder and lightening.

Some brilliant skies though.  All within the space of less than an hour.

Just 10 mins later

7.00pm and it is looking a little more threatening, but very beautiful (jmho). Thunder is starting to roll.

Storms a brewing????

Clouds.......

I was over at Chookyblue's blog and she has posted photos taken today of the storm clouds above their property. Well there is something brewing up above us too. I hope it means lots of rain for the parched south east.

Especially for Chooky Blue

Donna has been helping me re-vamp my Blog. She re-sized the photo in my banner for me, and gave me some constructive comments throughout the process. Thanks for that! It is still not just right, but I am getting there.

Now if you are a regular reader over at Donna's blog you will know firstly that her camera died this week. On this I truly commiserate as I would be lost without mine, but secondly they desperately need rain for this seasons crops.

She has a suggestion on her blog now, that seeing as she can't post any photos, send her some of your own.

While I am not actually sending these to her, they are especially for her.

Storms forecast tonight........

Grey Skies, thunder and even a bit of lightening..........

and this much rain!

Hope you feel a bit better, you are not the only one missing out!

Thanks Again!
