Lack of Communication

I'm sorry everyone! All... three of you following, that is. I have been on a horrible hiatus and I really don't have a great excuse except that I've been all kinds of wrapped up on my week of work rather than being able to do much more than photo the sunsets. I know. I haven't even POSTED last week's yet. I'm SORRY! In order to make up for my horrid inability to communicate, I am going to post a treat for you tonight! A video! Not just any video, but a short video of the cool electrical storm we're having tonight. All lightning and thunder, no rain. It's pretty neat, but it's probably going to cause some serious fire issues at the rate it's going. Anyway, for your viewing pleasure now... Purple lightning!



And that's the short version of what I recorded, with me adjusting the camera at the very beginning. It was actually me trying to get the absolute best shot for longer moments. I went through a good chunk of one set of batteries (don't worry! They're rechargeables!), recording a fifteen minute session of lightening - some of which is drop-dead gorgeous. I just wish I had a nicer camera, one that I could leave the aperture open on so that I could actually take photos. Even found my dream camera that I might just get for myself soon enough, if I work hard enough for it. Savings account! Save up to buy a $300 camera!
Well, I'm going offline to go to bed, leaving my camera to record some awesome stuff. So much for writing anything tonight though. I was a bit disappointed in the fact that my creativity is definitely oozing out solely in my chainmaille and photos. I need to focus on my novel in the next few days. I set the date of the end of the semester down here as the end of my novel as well - I have to get it done by then!
