Thunderstorms

6.09.2011

Just a quick post today...
After watching the thunderstorms, I decided I wanted to capture them, however, this is not an easy task.  I stood on the balcony for about an hour, and was only to get one shot (there's a reason for the phrase "fast as lightning"), but still thought I'd like to share

It's kind of weak, and doesn't really show how dramatic it looked, so I'd like to show a clip of it that I took with my flipcam:

you can see it in the last four seconds.
Lester is actually getting used to all of it, and still prefers to sleep outside, even when it's pouring outside.  I actually greatly enjoy the rain because it's so darn humid here.  Everything feels sticky and muggy and gross...humidity was at 89% this morning! (all of this on top of the sun rising at 3:50 am...no joke, so hard to sleep!)

Christian snapped this pic of Lester stretching...I thought it was too cute not to share!

An Afternoon at Trädgårdföreningen

6.05.2011

Today, Christian and I took a walk in this park close to downtown- it's actually the same park his dad used to play in when he was in a small child. Being Sunday, there were tons of people laying out, soaking up some sun, and playing volleyball.  As the weather was lovely, and it was a weekend, there was the delicious smell of bbq in the air.  It was beautiful, there were tons of flowers everywhere, and the air just felt nice.  After the end of our walk, we got some ice cream at the restaurant in the park...I can't remember the last time I had an ice cream cone...it was a lovely Sunday.  Although tomorrow is a holiday, being Sweden's Nation Day, I have to finish up some work on my thesis...wish me luck!
