Sunshine, Rain, Lightning and a Juvenile Cardinal

We’ve got another sunny day in my neighborhood. At this moment there is a juvenile cardinal deep in the cypress tree outside my window. It is waiting for its instincts to tell it to go ahead a risk a flight to the feeder.
Yesterday we had sunshine. And then it poured. Really poured. But now it’s bright sunshine. Having lived in a sunnier but extremely arid state–New Mexico–as well as a somewhat less wet but place more prone to days of overcast–Vermont–I really love Florida. We enjoy many days of sunshine, for at least some of the day. And abundant rainfall. I do enjoy a good rainfall. As for lightning storms: how could you not be fascinated by those?!
I wonder what the cardinal “thinks” about thunder and lightning.
