Storms

June is always a time for few thunderstorms to roll over the U.P. Marquette had a huge hail-storm on June 20. A few days before, Copper Harbor saw a few large thunderstorms pass over on the edge of a swiftly moving cold front. This is a shot about 10:30 on that evening -- it stays light a long time in June in CH. The storm has passed east. This was taken on my bike on the main street in town, down near my home and close to my mother's gift shop, Ragamuffins. We've had lots of nice weather this year, some dry spells, some hot spells, some cool weather, a few swarms of black flies, even an early appearance of the stable flies that torment you on the Superior shore. It's always changing up here. My Dad often repeats an old saying that we hear from the locals a lot: Don't like the weather? Stick around five minutes and see it change.
