Really, really lovely cumulonimbus action tonight! I just happened to have my drone in the car and got some solid shots of DT Seattle/Lake Washington/Mercer Island/Bellevue looking north from Skyway. Alas, the focal length of the lens doesn't do the vertical height justice and my WB was off rendering it into semi-gross HDR territory, but still... fun looking weather!

Side note. Our youngest son graduates from high school today. So proud of him. He will give the welcome at the ceremony today, as he is the student council president. The rest of our school district ends the school year Wednesday morning.
Question, have any of you around the GL's been to this Hidden Gem up near northern Lower MI??? This looks like a wonderful place to visit in the summer...it's not far from @jaster220 new place...
