July 1

good morning!

after 3 am there was a thunder storm in the south. it was far. only lightning flashes were visible, but with no sounds.


this lightning struck on the south-west side.


3:17 rain started...

here's a video.


pictures later...

[ame]

more lightnings in the south. here's one.


then also lightnings in the east. here one struck first in the south and right about few centiseconds after it another in the east. the first lightning flash hadn't quite faded away yet.


at about 3:30 some very distant rumbling.
this flash was on the northern side and much closer than the earlier ones.

[ame]

i can't say on what side this struck.


3:37 - 3:42 a flash or even 2 per minute.

[ame]

three flashes within 26 s.

[ame]

this was bright!


...and long in time.


it was bright in three frames.

[ame]

some more bright flashes.


these were on the north side (behind our left shoulder).

[ame]

3:24 the thunder storm began to turn and "travel" around us. it had started in south and by 3:20 some lightnings began to be visible in the east, too. now this continued: lightnings both in south and east, but then also in south-west and then even in north.
around 3:40 also the rumbling became audible and the lightnings were brighter and more frequent.
here's the clip which included the above flashes.

[ame]

4:02:19 a lightning.
4:02:27 a bright lightning in north. it was so bright that in the brightest picture it's difficult to see the direction.




4:02:39 loud rumbling. delay 12 s from the latter lightning. if those were associated then the distance was only 4 km away. if it was the earlier flash then the distance was about 7 km.
i think it belonged to the latter lightning.


after this the storm faded away gradually with rain.

[ame]

5:51 a young blackbird (brownbird ) flew to the upper left branch.
5:52:30 a blackbird flew down from the top.
5:53:12 an adult male attacked at the youngster.
the young returned to the left side of the nest.


5:53:16 again an attack.
5:53:44 again!

[ame]

6:51 a bumblebee visited. she could not mix the hay more.
... or is this a wasp?

[ame]

it's raining... it started at 8:38.
i think i heard some thunder, too.
...now i need some

[ame]

11:08:35 crashes.. a falling branch, probably ?
