We had a thunderstorm here in our area last night. The very first thunderclap was so loud, it really startled me. Of course, it doesn't take much for me to jump! (There, you don't really have to know all my nervous habits but I tell you anyway! LOL!) There is a wonderful song by Ralph McTell called "Summer Lightning". My husband can play this on the guitar himself and it sounds so good! I love the music and the lyrics. One day I might be able to get Richard on a video playing it for you but I found one that is almost as good as a Richard performance. Hope you like it too....
Goodness me, I had to search a while to find this video for you!
ENJOY!
I love to look at clouds in the sky. Don't you? Take care, everyone! Look for beauty always!
We have had thunderstorms pop up almost daily. It's been pretty hot and humid up here. Thankfully the cool down comes by Tuesday. I do love a rainy, thunderstorm now and then! (as long as we don't lose power!) Love the video and music. Thanks for sharing and have a good rest of your weekend!
ReplyDeleteMy husband will play this for me whenever I ask! I will say, "do that song where he says "let's go to bed"! Haha! And I'm with you with wanting to keep the power on! Take care!
DeleteWe have had rain and many clouds here, but not many thunderstorms in a while. I am not very jumpy, but an unexpected loud noise can do that to me, too.
ReplyDeleteI like looking at the sky first thing in the morning, when I walk into my kitchen. And when I get up during the night, I have a look, too; this week, there were some beautiful moonlit night skies.
Moonlit night skies, that sounds so lovely. You have reminded me of that one time that I went on that Moonlight Hike at Panola Mountain and the moon lit up bits on the rock, like walking on diamonds. Such a great memory!
DeleteWe too have had some storms here that have made me jump this summer but thankfully, no damage done. One thing I know that when there is lighting I stay indoors.Hope you too stay safe.
ReplyDeleteMe and you both! When thunder roars,head indoors!!
DeleteStorms here too. The song is so pretty.
ReplyDeleteHave you heard the song before? This gentleman did a good job but I am lucky enough to say that Richard plays this even better! And
DeleteYesterday we had very loud thunder accompanied by strong flashes of lightning. It was fun.
ReplyDeleteI love to see the photos of lightning! There are some very good ones.
DeleteWe get those sudden storms, too. They can startle you out of your skin.
ReplyDeleteThat's wonderful music!
Glad you liked the song! And I hope you are okay after Ida!
DeleteI love to look a clouds in the sky. It's a beautiful free show. The song matched my mood perfectly tonight. Have a great weekend, Kay!
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked the song! And yes, the views of the sky are free!
DeleteI've experienced mountain thunderstorms in Italy in summer where it was so loud it must have been similar to a battlefield and shell shock. (0nly without people trying to kill you just bolts of lighting fairly close by) Very scary but also exhilarating when you get through it. Big storm hitting the coastal South right now over there which we usually get the tail end of a week later on our side of the Atlantic.
ReplyDeleteDon't know if you saw the photos of New Orleans after Ida,it was a terrible storm with much flooding. And you're right, the remains go up the country here and then cross the Atlantic. Bet you wish we wouldn't share storms!
DeleteWe had a thunderstorm here the other night...before the advent of our spring, which began on 1st September. A few showers are hanging around today...and around 10 pm on Wednesday night we received a surprise downpour that deposited 45cm on our deep, rich red soil. :)
ReplyDeleteI think I want to go to Australia where your Spring begins on the 1st of September! How fun would that be to see 2 springs in one year? Nothing like having rain when you really need it, we went through a drought a few years back and I remember looking so hopefully at every little cloud in the sky!
DeleteThose clouds look lovely.
ReplyDeleteHappy September Wishes.
All the best Jan
Oh thanks so much, Jan! I love that...Happy September Wishes. The same to you!
DeleteI love to look up typical clouds in four seasons. Autumn clouds are calm and beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI love to look at the clouds. You might say I have my head in the clouds but that's okay with me! :-)
DeleteThank you for sharing this song with us, Kay. It's so very pretty.
ReplyDeleteAnd I get to hear it live in my own home from my husband!😊
