I hate the summer!!! If you could call it that

Whoa.. we have had hot weather dotted with T-storms and cilly nights in the 40-degree-farenheit range. Definately a strange summer.. the ground is so dry that when it does rain, the water just beads up on the surface! Weeds love it; pasture grasses are pathetically sparse. I am preparing to pay an armload for hay this year.

Ok all you guys.....you NEED to send me some of that water. Here in Tucson AZ it has been running around 110 degrees:eek: It is suppose to be monsoon season and so far all we have gotten are thunderstorms with huge huge rain clouds that tease us with rain then move on:(

And yet again the thunder, lightning and torrential rain is flooding in. I know to some people extreme weather, especially in the states is an occasional occurrence but to us folk over here in Ireland its virtually unheard of. I have added a link to let you guys see whats happening over here in the Emerald Isle

You ARE! :D That's awesome! I know you'd much rather be taking pictures of the lush green hillsides with blue skies...but those really are spectacular images, even so.

I hope things settle down for you soon, and you get at least a few weeks of nice weather before winter sets in! :hug:

Well I live about 30 minutes from Hollywood, so out here you get to be robbed legally by these big corporations.

Thanks Judy but thats the beauty of Irish weather. Hopefully things will pick up soon plus winter doesn't kick in too bad until about late December. September and October are great months, well for me anyway, the lights brilliant around that time of year for taking pictures.

My picture was also shown on the 1830 hrs national news, as well as on the BBC website. Its been a good day apart from the woeful weather

Wow, that's awesome, congrats!
