Here There and Everywhere

Sunrise April 13, 2008

At 0700 it is 73°F / 23°C, and it is very hazy (look how the haze magnifies the size of the sun) but the sea has some color, a light hazy green. The haze looks like it may burn off a little later and the high is expected to be around 95°F/35°C.

I really did take this photo.

And now I will tell you, I tried to take photos of the lightning the other night. Most of it was just cloud-to-cloud and all I got were black photos with slightly lighter spots in them. AdventureMan instructed me that if I wanted lightning shots, I needed to set up a tripod and a timed exposure, but I think there is too much ambient light where I live to make that effective. So I found a great dramatic shot online and used it to illustrate. I sure didn’t mean to deceive you. I sure wish I had taken that shot!

  1. LOL,….don’t worry about that lightning 😀

    And hey, even with video mode on my cam I got only ONE video with a flash in one corner. I wish I had gotten one of the long gorgeous ones.
    Sigh.

    And the sun looks like that over here too.
    Well, I actually rather have it overcast then sunshiny.
    Not so hot 🙂

  2. Nicole, I am with you. I have a lot to do today, and I need a “not-so-hot” day to get it all done! I hope YOU have a great day. 🙂
