Storm2

On March 21st I posted a piece on a thunderstorm I experienced. Here are some photos of the build up to the storm, taken over a 40 minute time span. Click on the photos to enlarge.

First picture. Small bass dam in the foreground. In front of the cell phone tower you can see a cottoge, my cottage is just to the right of that behind the trees.

Photo 2 taken about 25minutes later, from the second bass dam about 2km further on, this is when I decided to head home.

Photo 3 heading home. The little dog you can see in the foreground just to the right of the fence post, is Sissie,
my Daschund cross.

Fifteen minutes later I was home, just in time before the storm broke.

Lovely photos. It looks like your cottage is situated in such a love place. I hope to see more photos of your cottage. I will go back and see if I missed some.

Wow, you can fish right out the back/front door, nice. But not in a storm like that. Awesome captures. I too would like to see your cottage.

Mean-looking storm! We have a little Long-Haired Dachshund that stole our hearts after we mourned a year for our little black and tan one that we had for 15 years. She's napping between my feet as I type this. She's two now.
