Lightening


This morning I was woken at 5am by a fantastic sound and light show. I got out of bed and got my camera out to do something I have wanted to do for a long time. Take pictures of lightening!
I sent a couple in to BBC bristol and they have posted this one on the website!
It was also on this evenings points west! I missed it but Mum (watching by satelite from France!) saw it was so excited she phoned me to tell me all about it!

Isn't creation great!

Awesome clouds as well!


The end of a stormy day.
This was taken the same day as the rest of these pictures but just before I went to bed. I was lucky enough to catch a distant lightening blot far of in the distance while taking a picture of the night sky. :)

A harvest!


This is our first proper sized courgette! It tasted as good as it looks: really sweet and jucy!

The potatoes we grew in a rubbish bin turned out to be nice new potatoes even though the slugs eat all the leaves and chewed on the storkes of the plants... grrr!

we have capcicum pepers growing in a pot and they are looking promissing too!
hurrah!

Sunflowers! thanks Beth! I though the slugs were going to get the best of them but they fought through! Posted by Picasa
