Things to Do on Vacation

Stormwatching.


A front porch is a wonderful place to be to have kittens play in your lap and watch a storm move in. It's soothing. At about 3:40 on it you'll see a deer run over the hill and then the rain really starts pouring.



You'll notice everything go a little sideways when the rain also started going sideways and I started getting soaked. I didn't film the OMGstorm!explosion, but I did get a few seconds of the aftermath once we were all safe inside.

Look at that. Like a fire ball or a volcano over the mountain.



You'd think it was the sun rising instead of the moon. (That glow at the bottom was a reflection off a puddle.)



Even through the trees, it's like a headlight.



And then there's this:



It always unnerves me when one picture is weird out of a set that I didn't do anything different with. We're gonna blame that on my NOT-night vision camera and hope there's no such thing as moon snakes.
