Hot southwest winds...

Uploading early since the weatherman is calling for some severe thunderstorms early this afternoon and tomorrow. So in case of power outage, it's upload now. We need the rain badly.

We started the day at 77 degrees and will hit 90 with a heat index of 101. Plants are wilting and cooking in the heat and humidity - like a strange soup.

The processing result is a fascinating image. It looks like the trees are twisting may be because of the heat. Hopefully the storm is gone and you are enjoying a cooler weather.

Hope you get the rain! Lovely slice of your woods.

@ljmanning Thank you, Laura. The thunder rolled and the lightning flashed, but we didn't get a drop of rain. Must've rained elsewhere.

Lovey light and processing. It's finally raining here. It started on Saturday afternoon and it's raining more. It is not a storm, but a warm summer rain. So long awaited!

@haskar Thank you so much, Haskar. Glad you finally got some rain.
