God provided quite the show yesterday afternoon with gnarly grey skies, heavy clouds, lots of thunder and lightning:
Culminating in my first catch of lightning on "film" - I only had to stand there (under cover) and snap off photos for about 20 minutes before I finally got a good one (using the Nikon point & shoot that doesn't react as quickly as the DSLr):
Visit Tom for more Sky Watch Friday shots - hopefully with less voltage.

I am now taking a 10 day dose of steroids for my Rheumatoid Arthritis pain and it works. I am free of pain. For now and am taking a chance to see if I can visit the Sky Watch Bloggers and see what's up this week.
I am not participating in Sky Watch Friday just because I might not be able to make it around to all if the pain flairs up again and that would not be right for me.
I don't know if you like to read or not but if you do this place is amazing. Strand's bookstore in New York City. They have 18 miles of used books. Think about that—18 miles. I ordered three used books, got them and they are in excellent condition. http://www.strandbooks.com/app/www/p/home/.
I enjoyed seeing your blog post for Sky Watch Friday and I thought your photography was excellent.
Amazing lightening strike.
Like them all--I just love clouds of any kind. I have never captured lightening...so of course I love that last one.
Wow, great capture of the lightning. I have not mastered that yet. Maybe one of these days.
I'm back ...
Oh no, cried blog world ... he's back!
But guess what, I'm so happy. If I didn´t rejoin SWF I would never have the chance to see these great photos!
dramatic clouds! and nice capture of the lightning!
My Sky Watch Friday post
Marvelous pictures! the lightning strike is so wonderful. It's very hard to catch that.
These are marvelous pictures. The lightning strike is very impressive. It is so difficult to capture that.
Wow... waiting for the rain and the lightning bolt is a marvelous photo capture!
varying seasons
Striking..;o)
Thank you for your perserverance and patience. Your lightning photo is wonderful. I've not ever been successful in getting a lightning shot (mostly because I'm chicken, I think). Off-topic: I love the word "gnarly."
God sometimes likes to work in B&W--and with a dash of green! These are great!
Pretty one for SWF! Which reminds me the quote... "we all live under the same sky, but we don't all have the same horizon".... Mine's up too hope you can drop by. Happy Weekend!
That's a great capture in the last picture. We were watching this show yesterday on our way to church. Great capture!
Awesome pictures! I can almost feel the storm.
Mean and moody. Love the lightening strike.
you got great photos!
Love the atmosphere in these shots! That last one is a real live wire!
It is a gray day here in Bergen too but we have no thunder today. Love the last shot. Always wanted to take pictures like that:)
Petunia's SWF
Pretty sure you were about to get wet. :)
Great timing for the lightning shot! So these were all taken yesterday? Must be quite a day...happy weekend!!
nice shoots
Your pictures are really good! I've been trying to get a capture of lightening in action, but no success yet. thanks for the comment!
I really like the last one. Lightening is so hard to capture.
smashing shot of the lightning
Hello! I love thunder storms. A couple of weeks ago, we had a storm coming through and decided to go to the bay to watch. I tried to get a picture of lightning, but I was unable.
You have capture a electrifing shot. Thank you. Lisa
Wow! Neat pictures! And the lightning strike! Great catch! Thanks for sharing! Mustang Mike
Great captures for sky watch!
Have a nice weekend.
Wow what a great series of photos. The lightening shot is fantastic. My little one said wow pink lightnening. Happy SWF.
Thanks for visiting, Alan. I am particularly taken with your lightning bolt. Rainbows at least are fairly stationary!
Well captured.
Nice sequence. I like the lightening shot. Have a good day!
Wow! Love the lightning!
Ominous looking. You created a real sense of the atmosphere around a storm.
Great shots!! Your right they do look like the same skies!! I have yet to capture lightning though. One day!!
Love the fact that you captured the lightening. I tried to do that on a pitch black road in Indiana w/ my digital and it did not work. All I got was blackness or the dashboard since we were in the truck.
