We’ve had another storm go through this afternoon. It’s all to do with the hot and humid days we get and the cold air that comes through later in the day. It happens every summer and it’s one of the things that made us stay back in 2004 when we were really home sick for Melbourne.

So we’d just given Jaxon his bath, and he’s all dressed in his PJ’s. I’m looking longingly out the window at the lightening (sometimes all we get is lightening) because I want to go and get some photo’s of it.

So we did.

We threw everything in the car and went. The problem with this is that it was pitch black as well. And Jaxon wanted to get out and play. So one of us has to play with him and keep him happy (lest the locals think we’re trying to kill him out there on that hill) and the other gets to take photo’s.

The problem with this is that Jaxon (and Tim) is happier if it’s me who does the playing and that means that I miss out on the show.

So we decided tonight that we probably should just get a babysitter for storm nights ; )

This first one is Tim’s good catch. If you don’t know how hard it is to get photo’s of lightening that could strike at any time or at any random place in the sky…you should try it. So two in one go is like…wow. This one was out on the hill we went to.  The next three were taken by me (though we’re fighting over who might have got the first of the three) were taken from our front step. It looks like it might be day time, but trust me when I say that when the lightening wasn’t striking…it was black as black.
