Summer Storms

We get some pretty good summer storms around here. They consist of thunder, lightning and even rain at times. Since we are perched so far up it is easy to see the lightning striking all over the valley. Saturday night there was a wicked electrical storm west of the lake. Some looked like bolts and other strikes would make the whole sky light up.

I have always wanted to try to photograph lightning but the storms are pretty short. Saturdays storm kept going and going and going... I actually managed to catch some but it looks nothing like what I had hoped it would look like. It's pretty sad actually. But I did it. I managed to catch lightning. Woot. (Mock enthusiasm)
