Geranium Without Rain 2019

Going back, once again, to a rare, nice weather day this month.
****************************************************************************************************

Unfortunately, I was not able to do any meaningful photography today. Too much rain... Overnight last night - and until noon today - we again experienced prolonged, "training" severe thunderstorms. Lot of wind, water, and lighting.

Those were followed by 90 degree temperatures that felt like 102 because of the extremely high humidity. Not a nice day to be outside. Around dinner time, another batch of training, severe weather once again moved in. Now, the storms won't budge. They are supposed to continue overnight and into tomorrow.

Our Metro is once again being plagued by MORE damaging flash flooding. There were a lot of outside events planned around the area today (one of which we were going to go to). However, most all events were cancelled because of the bad weather. This same thing has been happening all Spring and Summer long...

June 2019 has been an odd and very wet month. So was May. And April. And March.

But we actually have had a few nice days (here & there) like in my above photo. That image was taken outside. Gotta hang on to the few good weather days where that has been possible.

A bright spot between the storms. We've been very wet here too, but no severe weather thankfully.

It neer seems fair...one has more rain than they want while other need it badly. Your geranium looks happy regardless. V

we need a bit of rain here, and the forecast for next week are not good: a heat wave from Africa coming towards us.V.
