The Storm & The Sturgeon

Even though there were bad storms all around, we went out tonight to see if we could find the Full Sturgeon moon. For a long time we sat and watched this big storm cloud with almost constant lightening coming from it. The patch of light you see is actually lightening.

When we finally spotted the moon, it was covered with clouds.

But then for a few minutes, it was almost cloud free!

But then it slowly rose up into more clouds.


“Now and then there comes a crash of thunder in a storm, and we look up with amazement when [God] sets the heavens on a blaze with his lightning.”
 ~C. H. Spurgeon

“Lightning dances —
Thunder applauds her.
~Terri Guillemets
