Virga are trails of precipitation that fall from the underside of a cloud but evaporate or sublime before it can reach the earth's surface. This happens when falling rain or ice passes through an area of dry or warm air.
The Spanish verga comes from the Latin virga, meaning “rod” or “staff.” Before the word even evolved into Spanish, Latin authors as early as the sixth century were using virga as a euphemism for penis. Rod, penis ….

Taken just west of Sells, AZ as a storm was heading east from the California border. The radar showed that the storm was still several miles west of my location, so I set up to wait for it. I felt some rain drops, and decided to pack up and relocate - as I was about to pull my camera and tripod in through the back hatch of my car, there was a blinding flash of light and almost simultaneous crash of thunder. Shaking, I quickly got all my gear inside, and sat in the driver’s seat to review the camera. I texted my friend, “Almost struck by lightning, but I’m safe. And I GOT THE SHOT!” Three bolts had landed a long way in front of the approaching storm, less than half a mile from me. Another friend who was shooting from Sells captured the same three bolts from further away. I drove straight home, not stopping for anything else. I feel lucky that I was not closer to the strikes, and that my camera settings were perfect to capture the lightning without the bolts being blown out.

AZRA_GODDESS OF THE SHADOWS (Greek)
Azra has large black wings (made of the elusive ink bird's feathers, which allow her to blend into her surroundings), a staff that assists her shadow-stealing and a long flowing black dress that helps her blend into the shadows. As all Greek gods and goddesses have their strong powers/elements, Azra has shadows. She gains strength from shadows, and takes them away from chosen ones. She holds her powers within the royal blue stone placed tightly on the top of her staff. The stone is wrapped with delicate tendrils. She dwells in shadows and dark, abandoned places because she feels protected by the ominous secrets it holds. If you are walking down a dark alley, you may hear the flapping of her wings and a gust of air but will never see her because she feeds off shadows and blends in immensely.
Her powers consist of shadow stealing and camouflage. The shadows she equips helps her become stronger and more powerful. Her camouflage is handy when she goes on shadow sprees, because her camouflage helps her not be seen as she pilfers victims shadows...
