MyMrMallory and I headed out into the wheat field from which, we thought, we could glimpse some of the Perseids. Thunderstorms popping up in the early evening surprised us, but we felt that eventually, the sky would clear and the meteors would show in all their impressive beauty. The rain goddess had other things in mind: We got drenched. First, after a couple of hours of enjoying the view of the thunderstorms all around us, when one loud, ear-breaking crack of lightning nearly sent us off our little lawn chairs. Soon, the rain began in buckets. No meteor shower for us last night, nor sunset, nor photos of the crescent Moon near Venus. Instead, we were treated to other remarkable displays by nature.
Sunset upon our arrival to the middle of the wheat field.
A small shaft of rain appeared in the distance while we unpacked chairs and cameras.
The small rain became a sight to see!
We started noticing other shafts of rain . . .
. . . to the east . . .
. . . to the north and the storm that drenched us in the field and all the way home.
A pleasant and impressive surprise!
