We have had a huge thunderstorm here this afternoon. Poor little Charlie is beside himself with terror trying to hide between my legs every time I move. I watched the colour developing in the sky but there was no way I could leave the dogs on their own in the house while I went down to the river for some shots, and besides the colour drained so quickly I doubt I would even have managed to get my car out of the garage. So I just grabbed a few shots of the clouds from my front lawn
sometimes it's best to get something than try for something better and get nothing! I wouldn't really guess which outcome these clouds were going to give but there is some excellent colour.
@jeremyccc@cdonohoue Thank you @anniesue yes it was better to get something even though it was through the roofs of other houses in the street. In just a few minutes the clouds had covered up the sky and last rays of sun again and we had another massive lightning and thunder storm @koalagardens thank you @ludwigsdiana Yes Charlie went under my bed last night when the lightning got even worse that the curtains didn't block it out. It was very close too as the crack of thunder almost immediately accompanied the lightning. Max seemed okay knowing I was there, but Charlie was a little jelly
Gorgeous sky! One of the good things about Tootsie getting older and losing her hearing, is she no longer reacts to thunder unless it is VERY close. She used to be a drooling, panting wreck quivering in the tightest corner she could find.
