Goodbye September, Hello October

September has come and gone, and with it

have gone the hot days, sometimes peaking at 37 degrees -

unseasonably hot.

The month brought us some spectacular storms,

and afforded me a couple of

lightning shots I was pleased with, of which 

this was the best.....

And this morning, after waiting over an hour for the 

first dawn of October to break,  

I was rewarded with this sight above Leila's Mountain

Whilst in the opposite direction, the rumble of distant thunder
could be heard beyond Monte Licosa

and, although the storm produced no lightning, 

it did produce a partial rainbow

I wonder what the rest of the month will bring?
