Yes, we are those dumb people who go outside when a storm is blowing in to see if it’s bringing a tornado with it! The pic is from earlier this week, we saw a few swirling clouds, but thankfully no funnels, just a lot of wind and rain. Notice Mr. bookbabie has his wine with him, he read somewhere that offering up a glass Cabernet Sauvigon to the weather Gods will protect you

My glass of wine often seems glued to my hand
The lighting in this is amazing. It’s almost as if it’s a studio shot on a movie set.

Okay, Lilli…. Did Mr. Lilli ‘drink’ that wine—or actually throw it up toward the sky???????? ha ha ha… I’m sure he just ‘toasted’ the sky!!!!!Right????
Have a wonderful day and week. I’ll post one more time in the morning–but then I’ll be gone for about 9 days.
Hugs,
Betsy

I used to do that when I lived in Oklahoma, after putting my kids in the safe room, of course. Cool photo!

It’s been a long time since I have seen a dark sky like that around here. In the land of eternal sunshine I would actually like a few more storms. But the ones that don’t bring tornadoes of course! Happy Friday!

LOL… fantastic picture and your commentary made me laugh! It’s been an ominous storm season here in Tennessee, too. In fact, I’m up in the wee hours because my thunderstorm-phobic dog thinks he needs to bark at thunder. =/

Nothing is going to come between a man and his drink ! Nice balance between the exposure and the flash. Well done.

A good Cabernet Sauvigon is the perfect wine for a tornado. The only thing better suited would be two. Pappy

It does look very ominous but I’d be out there watching too!
