man & nature # 215 ~ kicking butt

Barn and weather frontclick to embiggen
Last evening on our way home - after winning yet another golf tournament - the wife and I encountered some interesting weather. The display was both awesome and rather eerie.

The front was fast moving so I didn't have the time to set up my tripod - for this picture, I used the car roof-rack rails as a brace for a 1/5 sec. exposure.

The spoils - a set of 4
The wife and I were pleased as punch with our set of 4 Pilsner glasses that were the spoils of our golfing victory. This event did not use the handicap system so we had to win our flight (division) - the "mixed" flight, i.e., teams formed with men paired with woman (now there's a golfing handicap) - by posting the lowest raw score (without a handicap applied). We posted a -8, which matched our personal team best.

We're playing in another tournament on the same course this coming Thursday. We hope to come away with the plates that match the beer glasses.
