It looked wintery the sort of light heralding a thunderstorm. There were spits and spots of rain in the warm humid evening air but no actual rain. I took these pictures to see what you think. I used a spot meter to manually control the lighting to exactly how it appeared. Love Poppi

The light gets quite weird here on the island. Last winter where we lived more north that was Emboreios, we were very exposed to the west where thunderstorms would come sweeping in, but sometimes from the south. We had some waterspots which, if I remember came over last january but swept in and hit Boudica's smallholding and drenched us. These watery tornadoes quickly lose their power once hitting land but they are mighty dangerous out across the water. I'll share some more pics whenever the light goes strange. But it's raining now but just a few pitter patters. Love Poppi

I have the 6Mp/28 mm lens version but both are really neat and pocketable and turn out extremely good pics! They're only compact cameras and in no way replace the more exotic SLRs. But Poppi seems to have a wonderful knack at grabbing the moment. I just supply the tea. Lyra

At about 4 AM we were woken up to a belter with vivid lightning and crashing thunder than raged for an hour. Last night I left some washing out on the line and thought it would be soaked but when I got up at 7 it was bone dry. Amazing. This is tonight's pic taken a little earlier. (spot metered again but set to 16:9 ratio) Love Poppi

Then the evening mellowed out to a pinky softness. And I thought we won't be having a storm again tonight after all. How wrong I was. It could come this way. But who knows? Everything on my island is never as it seems because the wind's just backed up and increased, and the lightning flashes in the distance and ominous rumblings are moving ever closer.
