Good-bye Butt-us - as I write this thunderstorms are overhead. Some lightning, a bit of rumbles all make for a normal Florida afternoon. We had a 15 minute rain this morning, then it stopped. The sky cleared and then a few minutes ago I looked up from the computer and saw what looked like a very scary sky, a sky that looked like a furious bully on a mission, trotting fast across the lake to the north. It was as still as I could ever remember, nothing moved, no air, no sound of birds, nothing except those clouds. It was a very strange looking sky that read like a dark novel, where were these clouds headed? What harm might they do? They looked like the type to touch down and do damage. The cloud tentacles were reaching down and looked a little too close. Once the rain comes, the clouds always change to a solid gray. The water gauge read .89 this am, I will read it later.
Excuse the shot with the cranes that is foggy, I had just stepped out and took a picture through a foggy lens having the camera come from air conditioning.
Finally, there are now clear patches of blue in between the rainy clouds. It comes and goes so fast anymore. The weather changes are very strange for the second year. In the paper yesterday they said Cape Canaveral might be under water one day in the not too distant future. The water level to rise 39inches with the melting of the polar ice. Maybe it's getting closer to a time when you move away from the peninsula?
My brother in Key West will be under water, but I will finally have the ocean at my back door instead of a lake, think of the photos - dolphins, manta rays, guess I'll wait it out...
