approaching thunder
rural towns and farms flooded
pouring rain again
power of lightning
splits mature tree to toothpicks
exploding the air
winds bending treetops
scanning skies for dark funnels
praying there’s no hail
after summer storm passes
a double rainbow appears
a poem in my pocket

The power of lightning and the wind – Nature is a force to reckon with ~ I hope you & your family are safe from the storm ~

Gorgeous words and photo. A bit scary, though, for you I’m sure.

farming… is not for the timid!

I think if you don’t get too little rain you get too much.. and hail would be the last drop of doom…

What a perfect turning inside-out for the idea of a rain dance. The weather out there is crazy, and the dancing elements embodying all that crazy are truly something to behold…from a safe distance of course.

Ha, I am not sure where you live….I want to guess Minnesota, as I have read about some awful storms this spring/summer and the Mississippi continues to rise. Enough already!
