it was another grey rainy day but only a bit of wind. did have one standout weather event tho. we had one, and only one, lightning strike but it was right by my place and it was a doozey. i happened to be looking out the window and saw it actually ground as it struck just up the alley from my place. one of the most different i've ever seen, and i've seen quite a few. was a solid, straight, wide, vertical column which appeared at least two to three feet wide nad a couple hundred feet tall. the thunder reverberated loudly for over five seconds and quieter for a couple more. it was AWESOME! probably lucky it was a hundred feet away or i might've burned my retinas. had the flash in my eyes for long minutes after anyway. made the hairs on my arms and neck stand on end too. totally cool! guess you can tell i was jazzed ;-) . this isn't that great cuz of the low light but i liked the col,or and position so you're getting it for today. posting early and off to bed. have a greqat week-end all

i was heartened by the comments about the lighting on yestrrday's shroom. i've been working hard trying to teach myself to use flash more effectively and i guess i succeeded on that one. as noted by many we certainly do get a lot of rain here and the ground is often mushy. makes for very interesting mosses, fungi and lichen tho which those of you who're familiar with my pics know i like to shoot. i'm working on pics to do a shroom gallery. have much else on my plate right now so its kinda taken a back burner. hopefully by putting the word out like this i'll get on the job and finish it this week-end. we had lots of rain and more wind, though the wind wasn't nearly as strong as the past few blows. my power only popped off once and that only for a second or two. its died back now so i'm taking advantage of my insomnia, ande nap earlier in the evening, to get a pic up and finally get to go though some of the great dailies and other smug stuff i know i've been missing. smile several times for no reason at all today. people will usually smile back and, if nothing else it'll make them wonder what you're up to ;-)

well i didn't get to catch up on any pics alas as we had another evening of fair to middlin winds l;ast night, gusts nearing sixty mph, which caused some power blips so i didn't want to risk my puter. i've really been enjoying the weather tho and sat looking out my window for over an hour again. only saw two transformers blow this time. this wind was lighter than the other day and also i suspect most of the loos branches and things have come down by now. we're expecting a weeks worth of rain and several days more wind they say. there's rumors we might see the sun for black friday. i'm glad many of you enjoyed the tpickup truck puddle as much as i did. there's almost always something interesting to see after a good storm. have a great week-end

11/17/09

we had a wicked wind storm last night and quite a bit of wind for the past several days. when it finally rained it poured. this probably dropped in about two to three hours. sorry i've been awol. nothing too serious just the usual suspects acting up a bit more than usual alas. that and a couple times when i had energy i didn't want to turn on the puter because the wind was blipping the power. mine only actually went off briefly a couple times but quite a few people were out for several hours. i was up in the middle of the night the other day while it was gusting pretty good and i saw a good dozen transformers blow in about an hour and a half before i went back to sleep. aprtment dwelling insomniacs fireworks, sorta, sideways ;-) . hope y'all are doiing grand. shall hopefully be able to check out a bit of what i've been missing but at least wanted to let y'all know i'm still alive and kickin. thanks so much for all the kind comments on the snapdragons and also for the e-mails. blessings on all of good will

actually shot this about ten days ago but didn't make it out today so rather than stick y'all with another junk shot from my apartment i'm sticking you with this. by the way, sorry for the typos on yesterday's. i know what i want to do but my brain and body don;'t always work in concert correctly and yesterday was one of those days. enjoyed the 'fun guy' comments as that line always goes through my head whenever i see a shroom. i'm really more of an actually fungi than a fun guy however. i pretty much sit in one spot, am usually in the dark and i get fed a lot of the excreted concetrated digestive leftovers of the commenly domseticated male bovine animal. hope you find some peace and joy today

don't know what this plant is. only remember it showing up less than ten years ago but its a very agressive blanket vine somewhat like ivy. fascinating flowers, if that's waht these are, tho. its become a fair nusciance in parks and gardens around here but it was handy and kinda cool lookin on this downtown fence near my local photo shop - quicksilver. this is from last month as i didn't make it out today. found a chip i hadn't processed yet so at least its 'new' sorta
