Stormy Skies

Some pictures from a passing storm a week ago.  It was quite impressive-looking and rolled in very fast.  These three images were snapped just moments apart.

The storm brought some thunder and lightning, but blew through almost as quickly as it came, leaving only a little rain behind.

By this time last year, we'd had our first snow.

The following was posted on Facebook:

Well.

I couldn't have said it better myself.

And now for something completely different:

It has been an extremely wet summer here,

resulting in odd and unusual fungi growth all over the yard,

the likes of which I have never before seen.

This Very Happy Fellow,

who was about ten inches tall, I kid you not, 

appeared just outside the back door:

I mowed him off...sorry, guys.

His friends came to avenge him and there is a small forest of these things out there now.

I'm a little bit afraid to go outside...
