I took the scope out early to let it damp out, and then - in the middle of the desert, not monsoon season mind you... It rained... Lightning & Thunder... A total no show

Status : Offline | We had one a few weeks ago but it was cloudy and besides, the kids are so bored with Mummy getting excited about that sort of stuff now - especially since I made them go outside to watch their second blood moon. They've 'seen it all'. Still, last night's full moon got a mention (by me) several times. Terrific how it looks so HUGE when first rising over the hills and then when it's high it looks so much smaller and further away. I don't think I'll ever get tired of looking up.

Actually the light show wasn't too bad - a bit early in the season, but still not bad.

I like your positive attitude, Mr. AZ! There's nothing we can do about the weather, so we might as well enjoy what we get. [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
On that note, the falling snow was very pretty that night.
