After the rain.

There was thunderstorm warning yesterday afternoon and while we did get a little rain, most of the booms and crashes occurred south of us.
The clouds sure were magnificent.

The unusually late frost in June nipped my geraniums and they never did recover.  The weather this summer has been weird too and I'm sure my plants aren't the only ones that are looking rather scrawny and pathetic. They sure are a sight for sore eyes however my HBC popcorn tins look not too bad.

Perhaps the geraniums look more artful using HDR on my out-of-focus camera.

The neighbours deck chairs look rather cool using HDR and a zoom lens on the out-of-focus camera.

So the other caterpillar, Martin the Monarch, is doing his "J" thing. He's hanging off the screen that's on top of the glass container.  He'll most likely turn into a chrysalis when I'm out grocery shopping and I'll miss the whole thing.
