And Then, Last Night...

8/29/18

Summer lightning is pretty typical for the South, still, this was intense last night.

Pam was giving it the old 1 Mississippi, 2 Mississippi.....but I never heard the thunder. I HAVE always heard, "when thunder roars, go indoors"; was out there for a while. I didn't take the time to hook up the shutter remote, so I just shot several for 30 seconds each.

It rolled up on the horizon, then just as suddenly, it moved on.

Chicken Hawk

July 31, 2018

I have observed quite a few sights out my upstairs bathroom window. It overlooks a big hollow that is used primarily as a hayfield. Beyond it is the newest city lake. In all, it makes for the perfect wildlife habitat.

It was just a day or so since this field had been mowed, that this hawk made a several-day event of appearing rather close to the house.
