Just foolin' around

We've had intermittent internet issues (practising my alliteration) over the past 24 hours and I wasn't sure if I'd get access tonight since it had been dead since before 3:30 pm. Thunderstorms set in early in the evening, and got a little intense around 8:00 pm. That's when we had one extremely bright flash of lightning followed immediately by a tremendous crash of thunder. The lights went off for 2 seconds and it was eerie to be in pitch darkness after such an intense flash of light. Everything came back on, and lo and behold, I had internet access ! It was as though God had pushed the reset button !

I got the camera out and started doing a little experimenting, something I hadn't done indoors in a while. And it's not even Phriday yet.

(Day 172) The 'science experiment'

Do you remember doing science experiments as a kid? You know, maybe you got one of those kits for your birthday when you were young and ended up nearly blowing your friend's thumb off or something fun like that! Or maybe you had to wait till chemistry or biology class before you got to do some cool stuff - all in the name of learning, of course. Maybe you grew some exotic new breed of microbe in the lab - similar to the exotic breeds that sometimes grow in a long forgotten, out of site place in the fridge.

Well I did some experimenting of my own today. I know, it wasn't Phun Friday, but it was time for a diversion of sorts for my 365 photo project. I haven't quite figured out what strange phenomenon I captured with the camera, but I'm sure I'll figure it out by tomorrow. I'll keep you 'posted' ;-)
