Almost Silent Night

My Christmas gift arrived a few days early- a new camera!

So, I ran outside to take some night shots of the house with the candles in the windows- since they didn't come out when I tried with my old point & shoot.  (Bear with me- I'm in the process of figuring out the best settings for different shots!)

Check out that crazy sky! 
Soon after I took this we had a torrential downpour with thunder (hence the title of this post) & lightening.  It got so windy that the tree on the porch was knocked over!

Good thing I already snapped photos of it!

Our other photos and posts about this year's Christmas decorations can be seen here and here.





And one last random photo- these guys crossed in front of the school bus the other morning! You can see five of them in the photo- there were seven in all!
