Good morning, Gentle Readers!

I normally don't post so soon in the day, but since I was here why not?

Today's image is titled Dawnstar, and is the result of yet another experiment. It's amazing what one can do with simply shaping the light.

It has been hot for some days now, but the storms that rolled in last night- and rolled and rolled some more!- have cooled things off considerably. And yet on the main road perhaps a hundred yards away my husband reported that it was dry when he came home- and that it was a strange experience driving through the multiple strikes of lightning.

I'm very sure my plants appreciate the gentler rain that is falling now.
