Crazy-intense storm last night.  I haven’t ever heard or seen so much intense lightning directly over the top of us.  I was seconds away from ordering everyone into the basement.  I thought for sure we were going to take a hit.  Super loud sizzle and cracking sounds followed by a simultaneous huge flash and BOOM!

I played around with the continuous shot setting on my camera and managed to capture one strike (far away) while picking up my daughter earlier in the afternoon.

Driving to work a couple of weeks ago I saw this beam of light coming through the clouds.  It looked ten times as intense as the photo shows.

Caught a rainbow and some cool skies while out walking the dog.

I find animal legs on my runs.

Last night, the frog

The occasional critter that is missing legs.

And baby binkies.

What will we find next?
