GIRL TALK--

Sue and Rainbow enjoy a chat in the clubhouse of our local, Vero Beach, miniature golf course.  We were suffering a rain-delay while a whopper of a line of storms rolled through the area.  Turns out our game was eventually rained-out due to huge quantities of ponded water on the course, so, we meandered off for our last, seasonal visit to the local mall.

It was one of those drives where high-speed wipers were barely adequate to maintain decent visibility--where rushing, curb-side water was sluiced into geysers by aggressive drivers--acting like they feared being late for the crayon sale at Walmart.

As we pulled into the west side of the mall, pounding rain was diminishing and when we finished our brief shopping visit we were treated to this unusual cloud display:


This view was mostly overhead toward the southeast.  Swiveling about and facing southwest produced this view of the storm's trailing edge:


These three photos and the recently published photo of the theater's mostly empty seats all were done with the camera in my new Galaxy S III smart-phone.  Notice the crisp detail in Sue's hair in the top photo which was done with the flash turned off.  It was fairly dark in the theater so I stood at the exit near the screen and firmly held the camera against a door frame for tripod-like stability.  The camera did everything else.

It truly is an amazing, point and shoot gadget.
