summer thunderstorms

It's raining and we're going ANYWAY! LOL

I want to take y'all to see the pretty pink flowers!

so far--only a light sprinkle--nothing too bad!

Hope y'all will join us!

"yay!--we found the pink flowers!"

they tangle on this old black iron fence every year and I love to see them

Today's "arm candy" LOL:

Here's some pretty stained glass on this window:

old brick buildings, breezy piazzas, and big old trees

Thunder-shine

It's been raining every single day for the past two weeks I think. We get a nice summer thunderstorm pretty much every afternoon. We had a big loud surprise storm about 5 a.m. day before yesterday and yesterday we had "thunder-shine" most all afternoon---sun brightly shining and LOUD thunder rolling--finally giving way to rain.

Our gardens are loving the rain.

it's WET MISTY HOT AND MUGGY HERE. How about where you live?

LOVE the pictures, especially with Tracie and AMybelle along for the walk in the rain! We haven't been getting enough rain lately...but it is VERY HOT and muggy. I just stepped outside for a minute, at 7 a.m., and it is already about 80 degrees and very muggy. So thankful for AC!!! Have a beautiful day today.

What a lovely walk in the summer rain. Your pictures are so pretty and we could use your rain right about now, we are in the mist of fire season with air quality being in the unhealthy to extremely unhealthy range. It's like breathing an ashtray, yuck! your pictures look so refreshing and vibrant.
Have a wonderful weekend.

The flower window boxes of Charleston are always so lovely! Hot and humid here in the foothills of NC.

Tonight's Micromoon--we watched it rise over the Battery tonight, it was red and orange

Skywatchers in Central, Mountain and Pacific time zones will get a view of the full moon tonight (Sept. 13) at 11:32 p.m., 10:32 p.m. and 9:32 p.m., respectively, while East Coasters will see the moon at its fullest at 12:32 a.m. on the 14th. Regardless of time zone, the moon will appear just a bit dimmer than usual (eerie!), because it will be at apogee, or its farthest distance from Earth. That means that the moon will appear about 14% smaller and 30% dimmer than when it is at its closest point to Earth, which is known as perigee. (Livescience.com)

LETS END KILLER WHALE CAPTIVITY!!

Please research the captive killer orcas that the SEAWORLD franchise holds captive. It is animal cruelty at it's worst. Those killer whales need to be FREE, NOT HELD CAPTIVE BY us humans and forced to do 'tricks' for our amusement. (and to make SEAWORLD a lot of money. ) Please go watch BLACKFISH when y'all have time okay? also read "Killer at Seaworld". You will learn so much and I doubt if you ever pay entrance fees to enter SEAWORLD or any of it's affiliate parks again.........because you will learn what the money really goes for........PROFIT. Their profit...........the poor whales gain nothing. But life captivity. Sad lonely lives in bathtub size enclosures where they cant even interact with their own pods and offspring normally. Many of them are so sick and die very painful deaths.The 'breeding' program is a joke. They are not even allowed to procreate in a natural and normal manner. The whales that were caught in the wild were taken from their pods and their mothers in a very cruel and inhumane fashion---it is heartbreaking. It's awful sad. Please research and then let me know what you think, okay? Whales are magnificent creatures, I love them. I tell everybody it's okay to love them and to want to go see them......but please go to areas where you can view them in the wild either from the beaches or cliffs or from boats. Not from cement swimming pools where they are mis-treated, gawked at, and forced to 'perform'. God created them and intended for them to exist in the seas! They really need to remain free........................
