Summer Storm

Well, technically it wasn't. Since it's not summer yet. The day though was still like it. Hot, sticky, and humid. One of those days that you just long for the AC or a beach to relax on. The thunder storm warnings were out and about for most areas. I was called by my friend SusieG and asked if I wanted to head to Cherry Beach with her And Nietzsche. I checked the weather, and radar, and said that any storms out and about should miss us here in Toronto. Well, I wasn't exactly right about that. He headed out to the beach and I happened to look to the north. Talk about ugly skies. Talk about picture opportunities.

First though, some pictures before the storm, then the storm clouds, then the beach.
























Like I said I was partially right. We watched the storm roll over and by Toronto from Cherry Beach. We lucked out and only got a few rain drops. Trying to catch forked lightning though with a camera is difficult. I tried a few times before giving up. At least for now. I think I need a light activated trigger or something. Time for some more research.
