In The Heat of The Night.....

Lightning comes in many forms. Sometimes it's so far away that you don't hear the associated thunder and it appears more as a fireball in the clouds instead of the familiar streaks of electricity. They call it "heat lightning".... without an "E" after the T.

This show of power in the sky was going on, tonight, as I ventured over to Baskin-Robins for a taste of Cherries Jubilee ice cream.


The storm was off to the west and north... over the Gulf. It lasted for about two hours. By the time it reached shore, one hour after I took the photos, the lightning had ceased and rain began falling.

I had hoped to watch the Perseids, but this show was alt least as entertaining.

... and so it goes.
