When a watch become a warning (July 17)

I was on an assignment in a park downtown around 6 p.m. this evening with some cute dogs and enjoying the humid, sticky, sunny weather when all of a sudden...

That flicker at 4 seconds is a flash of lightening

That's rain, not snow - see it bouncing off the ground?

It took all of 10 mins but boy was it nasty.  It was raining so hard and thundering so loud I was sure something was going to explode.  And then just as quickly as it appeared it was gone.  And just to note, I spend the entire storm safely shooting from inside my car.

Time span of approx. 10 mins

 And then.... the sun came back out.  And it was a bit cooler (but not much).

from the parking lot at Douglas R. Fluhrer Park

 But because so much rain had fallen in such a short period of time....

Place D'Armes by Food Basics

There were power outages in the west-end and at least one lightening strike (poor tree).  I can't wait to see what tomorrow will bring ....

Canada Day 2013

There were a few different places that I wanted to visit on Canada Day.  The last day of ArtFest in City Park, the Canada Day celebrations at Confederation Basin with Brad, Gananoque Ribfest (with Brad, the Wilberforces and the Crottys) and finally the fireworks with mom and dad in Sydenham.
