Stormy Skies Wicked Wayback Wednesday Walks July 23rd & 28th 2016
After a number of days of hot & humid weather, we had an afternoon of thunderstorms rolling though. We ended up losing power around 3:30pm, and it just came back on a short time ago (around 8pm). Needless to say (and yet, I'm saying it), I'm once again dipping back my archives for today's walk. In honor of today's boomers (and I wouldn't be surprised, based on what happened in the next town over, if they determine we had a microburst of sorts), I decided to do a pair of stormy skies wicked wayback Wednesday Walks from July 23rd & 28th 2016.
Some of these have been used in other posts, but the fair majority of the eighteen shots of my wanderings have been sitting on my hard drive, collecting dust, and haven't been seen by anyone other than our landlady and her family (which, given I've mentioned it a bazillion times already, I'm sure you know the story 😊).
Speaking of wandering, don't forget to wander on over to @tattoodjay's latest post, called Wednesday Walk battery Park which features some awesomesauce (and one that made me giggle, because yes, I have the sense of humor of a five year old) sculptures.
Now, on to my stormy shots from July 23rd & 28th 2016!
Storm clouds moving in
A male hummingbird getting a quick snack before the rain starts
Leave patterns against the cloudy sky
Raindrops on spiderwebs
A male Song Sparrow follows Mr Hummingbird's lead
A good sign that it's been wicked rainy and damp...
... is finding lots of these cute little mushrooms all over the yard.
More raindrops on spiderwebs on the grass
The woods at the bottom of the driveway, looking October spooky in July
Another big storm rolling in...
... it's amazing how quickly the sky changes...
... and to illustrate, I'll caption the rest of the pictures with the time I took them. This one was taken at 8:47pm
Still 8:47pm
Also 8:47pm
8:48pm
Also 8:48pm (and if you haven't noticed, yes I'm turning my camera to different parts of the sky
Last one at 8:48pm
And last shot for the now, from 8:49pm.
Happy walking & see you next week!

It never ceases to amaze me how quickly the skies change and so often, when I actually return with the camera, it's lost what it had. Beautiful photos.
Glad your power's back on. We were also without for about 6 hours last evening and it's been a bit eratic today, too. Annoying.
Thank you, Fiona! Sorry to hear you had power issues too, but glad to hear they're resolved. We're lucky that it's been staying steady on since the storm - even luckier that our landlord ran the generator during the outage, so the food in our fridges & freezers didn't melt and spoil.
Beautiful shots of the different skies! It’s amazing how they change by the minute!
Thanks so much, @dmcamera! And agreed, which is part of the reason I have a bazillion photos of sunset skies on my hard drive - hard to stop snapping when it keeps looking more and more beautiful! 😊
Omg! This storm is scary.
Till having to loose power.
I'm facing a similar storm here too but thankfully no power cut yet.
I just feel the weather is so unpredictable nowadays.
Dang, I hope the storm passed you by without causing any outages or damages, @ireenchew! And given that I've grown up in New England, which is famous for unpredictable weather, I completely agree!
Your photos always please me, but "Leave patterns against the cloudy sky" stole my breath! I would love a room papered in that!
Excellent photos. Love the hummingbird before the storm. I gotta get me some photographic chops just so that I better understand how you do this.
Oh wow, @owasco! What an awesome compliment - thanks so much!
The best thing I ever did was to just head outside with my camera, and take a bazillion shots until I got a feel for what worked best. I bet you'll get your chops in no time flat!
Terrific post and photos @traciyork!! That one did look a bit spooky.😱 I think my favorite is the leaves pattern against a cloudy sky. I love the shades of color and it has a magical look about it! 💖
Thanks so much, @deerjay! Yeah, as I recall, the whole area at the bottom of the driveway was extra spooky, but I took the picture with leaves just as I started walking back up. Funny how spooky and serene existed right next to each other! And thanks so much for stopping by! 😊 🤗
You are very welcome @traciyork!! 🙂
Gorgeous sky photos and a lovely group of photos for your walk post!
Thanks, @melinda010100! I'm glad I finally figured out an excuse to share all these old wanders from my yard, and thanks for coming along with me! 😊 🤗
