Wow……what a wonderful photo. We had lightning in the distance throughout the night. Pete said there was thunder too but I wear earplugs so didn’t hear it. ❤️💜❤️💜

P.S. Pete’s very impressed by your photography skills. Xxx

[Blackbird9 in reply to sassy59]

It was a phenomenal night of thunder and clouds I love it the rain was pouring down and the best place to go is the beach it was lovely... I left Stan at home much to his disgust 😂😂😂

[sassy59 in reply to Blackbird9]

Amazing but poor Stan, he must have been really put out. Xx😘😂❤️

[CDPO16]

Nothing here but what a photographic opportunity.

[Blackbird9 in reply to CDPO16]

I think it's because its been incredibly warm here the last few weeks we needed to clear the air hasn't made an ounce of difference still hot 😂

[CDPO16 in reply to Blackbird9]

Well that's not cricket is it 😄

[Alberta56]

Gosh- that's spectacular. We didn't get even a rumble of thunder.

[Blackbird9 in reply to Alberta56]

Aww thankyou you can have some of my rumbles we had plenty ☺️

[Alberta56 in reply to Blackbird9]

Thank you. 😊😊😊

That's really spectacular!

[Blackbird9 in reply to HungryHufflepuff]

Spectacular storm 💙

[Threecats]

Fantastic shot Bb! There’s something elemental about being on a beach in a storm isn’t there! Nothing exciting up here last night, just a few distant flashes. Did manage to catch site of the beginning of the lunar eclipse before a socking great cloud came up and covered it up😠😊

[Blackbird9 in reply to Threecats]

It was so cloudy here didn't see anything...I couldn't resist getting up at 2 am to go see it ...Happy I went 💜

[peege]

Thats just an incredible photo Bb, I'm loving tge colours. Thanks so much for showing us who've had only short n sweet showers in the last 24 hours ××

[Blackbird9 in reply to peege]

Thankyou Peege .. its gone back to being sticky and hot again storm did not relieve anything ... Early night tonight been up since 2 am 😂

[peege in reply to Blackbird9]

Crumbs, sleep well tonight 😴

[Blackbird9 in reply to peege]

Thankyou and you 💙

[madonbrew]

We had it Bb! The thunder was really loud every now and then and the lightening went into the night…I’m a bit scared of lightning ⚡️ but told myself it’s just God turning his lights on and off!

Amazing photo!!

[Blackbird9 in reply to madonbrew]

Thankyou ❤️

[madonbrew]

Was Stan scared 😱?

[Blackbird9 in reply to madonbrew]

Noo Stan slept throughout the whole episode I left him at home 💜

[DJS6]

Amazing photo!! Where is it? x

Calshot beach thankyou 💙

[Morrison10]

Amazing photo, thanks. Didn’t have any storms here in Midlands, although as I’m completely deaf in one ear, and without aid in other, I don’t hear anything! I often curse the surgeon who killed nerve in left ear, with experimental op, but at least he said he then knew not to try it on children born with PCD.

[Blackbird9 in reply to Morrison10]

Thankyou so much lovley sorry about your hearing 💙

[leo60]

Your pictures are amazing BB, they just get better and better! Thank you for sharing them with us all Unfortunately no storm here, but we did get a little rain, I could hear the garden heaving a sigh of relief xx

[Blackbird9 in reply to leo60]

Oh my I love this comment regarding your garden breathing again... thankyou so much 💓

[watergazer]

Wow. Spectacular. I know we had lots of rain but I don’t think we had a storm. Xx

[Blackbird9 in reply to watergazer]

The noise of this one was heard for miles and the lightning phenomenal show 💙

[Cloudancer]

Wow gorgeous photo.Didn't hear a thing in the midlands but understand it was noisy in the Cotswolds x

[Blackbird9 in reply to Cloudancer]

It was beautiful 💜

[Izb1]

No storms here in Manchester but we did have a little rain and the garden looks relieved. Fabulous shot BB, although I dont think I could have got at 2am for it , but so glad you did x 🤗

[Blackbird9 in reply to Izb1]

I love a storm chase and finding it .. I was tired yesterday 😴

[Walkwalkwalk]

That photograph is wonderful. I feel exhilarated looking at it but a little envious not to experience it. The rain has helped the garden so much. Happy walks. Grace

[Blackbird9 in reply to Walkwalkwalk]

Grace thankyou so much appreciated 💙

[Sara_2611]
