Haha. Just got back from a stroll. It was clearish when I left, but I was obviously going out between Thunderstorms..
I could see lightning in the distance & was using the count method to determine how far away the storm was. I turned around when the wind picked up & changed direction.
The wind picking up was the 1st indicator that I had crossed into the front. Then the rain started which turned into a torrential downpour. Needless to say my fiery socks ended up in shoes that developed puddles. LoL...
Then the lightning kicked in heavy & it was close. Have you ever seen dark blue lightning? That's what I was occasionally seeing between all the other strikes & it was pretty freaking cool.
So, to sum it up, I just got back from a walk during a serious thunderstorm, where the sky sounded like a bowling alley and the bowlers were all going for strikes. Hope they got a few.

BTW, lightning can appear blue if the lightning is very hot or if you’re seeing it through heavy rain. If you see a bright sphere of blue from which a lightning strike originates, then you are indeed seeing a rare meteorological phenomena.

Ahhh... & the power is now out, so I am unable to make a coffee...

Finally watched Anne Rice's Talamasca: The Secret Order. The Talamasca watch witches, vampires, ghosts, & demons.
They chronicle the supernatural and are literally known as "the ones who watch."
While out for a stroll about an hour ago, I walked past about 8 parked police SUVs... Something was up in the neighborhood I was walking through. Not sure what. They were obviously looking for someone, or something...

I enjoyed reading this Maro.
Your walk sounds delightful. I'm so looking forward to the darker nights. I'm not enjoying this summer. I haven't been able to get into it at all. Some years are better than others. I just haven't been in the mood for hot weather. I need some winter in my life.
