Feather in the Wind

This feather was caught on the stem of a plant, but managed to dance in the wind anyway...

 

If a Tree Falls in the Thunderstorm...

Yesterday dinnertime, we had a severe thunderstorm. There was barely a second between the lightning and the thunder,

lots of wind and a bit of hail. Sometime in the middle of that, the flowering crabapple tree in the middle of the front yard came from together.

Last month, a couple of big branches came off, and husband put some black paint to protect the tree from losing too much sap or getting infected. The link to those photos is here.

I have called the city, asking them to remove the pieces, and put a new tree in the yard.

My neighbor and her grandkids are going to start taking the branches apart this morning.

Neither of us expect them to get very far, but it will be a novel experience for them, and amusing for us.

 

Wind

I like the way these images of the wind have turned out.

I am linking this post with NF Abstract.

 

Storm Clouds

The storm was being driven to the east when the sun appeared below the clouds in the west.

 

Wind Damage

We had some wind yesterday. I had to pull the boss out of a client meeting, when the wind blew the front door of the building off.

 He took the door off the hinges, and called someone to fix it. Other clients said they had never seen a chartered accountant fixing doors before. The perils of being the landlord...

Geese on the River

Yesterday the sun came out about noon, so we took a long walk near the river.
