Great images, but scary too! Thanks for hosting this lovely weekly event.
ReplyDeleteCandy
Those are pretty spectacular shots and a little unsettling at the same time, you have to wonder where they are touching down and hoping they aren't starting a fire!
ReplyDeleteWow, those are amazing shots! We just have HOT here in my hometown - no storms!
ReplyDeleteI have always wanted to get photos of lightening but I really have a fear of it and storms in general. I rather cower inside and remind my grown-up self to not be afraid :)
ReplyDeleteVery awesome photos. It is so hard to get great lightening pics. These are great!
ReplyDeleteSummer is thunder-boomie season! Love these captures - awesome :)
ReplyDeleteTink *~*~*
Spectacular, the sky color, the reflection on the water, and the lightning - great shots!
ReplyDeleteI'm reading like a fiend - I mix the books on my list with my fav mystery/thrillers - so I'm not always scared :-)
Wow Susan, what fantastic captures of lightening! Did you take them?
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting Outdoor Wednesday.
I have not seen a storm like that in years, long before I went digital. Very cool!
ReplyDeleteI don't think there is a rule that prohibits advertising, but one of the links in the first 10 is to photos of an advertising blog. Some of the pix were ok, but it was a little disconcerting to be pressured to buy something. Takes the fun out of the photographic joy. (Sorry if I am just a stick in the mud!)
Perry
Amazing shots~ I prefer to admire them on the computer, rather than in person. Thanks for hosting :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting. Love your shots!
ReplyDeletecool shots!
ReplyDeleteGreat pix. It's impressive that you could capture the lightning so perfectly. Thanks for hosting. This is one of our favorite link ups. Hope you can stop by and see our house numbers ideas. Jane F.
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite things is to watch the lightning from my porch...there is something quiet and mystical...these pictures are beautiful! Thank you for hosting this! Stop by and check out my Shed at http://threepixielane.blogspot.com/2010/06/girls-shedno-boys-allowed.html.
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting another Outdoor Wednesday!!!
ReplyDeleteWow Susan, those are very dramatic photos of lightning! Great shots!
ReplyDelete♥ Pat
Scary images but great capture! Love the colors of the skies, very romantic!
ReplyDeleteSusan, you are a braver soul than I. When lightening strikes, I'm usually somewhere cowering! It is beautiful, but dangerous and a bit scary.
ReplyDeleteHope you are doing well and that you have a very Happy Fourth of July! Be safe...
XO,
Sheila :-)
Those pictures really show the power going on during a storm - we had some recently here - we do need some rain. sandie
ReplyDeleteGreat photos, especially because of the water below. It somehow amplifies the lightning storm.
ReplyDeleteI did not have anything ready to participate this week, but did want to let you know your lightening photos are so pretty!
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting again this week.
Oh Susan. Those photos are great. I could see them blown up and hanging in a home.
ReplyDeleteThese are amazing shots of the lightening strikes. I never have seen this many great sights like this.
ReplyDeleteIncredible shots! And storm!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I love a good storm.
ReplyDeleteWe are having a storm as I post. Beacause it's been very hot today, we are thankful it wasn't a hail storm! Great pictures.
ReplyDeleteLightening is very dramatic and your shots really show how amazing they are.
ReplyDeleteI've never attempted to photograph lightning, but your shots are fab.
ReplyDeleteImpressive photos!! Wow!
ReplyDeleteI've tried to get pictures of lightning, fireworks and the moon, but with no luck. I think I need a fancier camera! These are great shots!
Those photos are absolutely stunning.
ReplyDeleteThose are incredible photos! Just amazing ~ you can almost feel the energy leaping out of the lightning. I am joining Outdoor Wednesday for the first time today. I have seen it on several blogs I read and thought it looked like fun. :)
ReplyDeleteI love watching a thunder and lightening storm ~ so scary and exciting at the same time! Your photos are amazing! Great timing!
ReplyDeleteI have always wanted to capture lightning. Wonderful shots! I'm envious.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots!
ReplyDeleteThat IS spectacular! We don't have much opportunity to capture lightning in southern California...when it does show up, it's gone pretty fast. I would love to get photos like this! Awesome!
ReplyDeleteAMAZING photos!!!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love the lightening - I miss a good storm, thank you for sharing and as always thank you for hosting!
ReplyDeleteSusan,
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting so diligently each week.

ReplyDeleteOh, how fun! I was going to post about my boat today any way. This just made it that much more interesting. Thanks for hosting this event.
ReplyDeleteGreat stormy shots!
ReplyDeleteHi Susan,
ReplyDeleteWow that storm is pretty intense. When I lived in New Jersey we used to get violent storms in the summer. Here in New England we haven't had any huge storms yet. Love watching them though. I wanted to join Outdoor Wednesday today, I found a lovely Lavender farm yesterday.
Have a lovely day.
Karen

Rhonda
Wow, amazing pictures. I took some good ones of stormy skies here yesterday but just put them on FB, I'll be posting them on my blog later this week.
ReplyDeleteI never see skies like that here in California! Awesome.
ReplyDeleteKathy b
All I can think of is "powerful" and "splendor". Just glorious shots.
ReplyDeleteWOW! You got some really beautiful shots! Lightning is scary though, my uncle was struck by lightning and it wasn't even raining. Unfortunately he did not survive and was only 19. I can tell from your pictures you were at a safe distance, which is commendable.
ReplyDeletevery beautiful pictres!
ReplyDeleteWow, these are fabulous! Thank you for hosting this weekly fun meme. Enjoy the 4th, keep your flag-a-wavin'...Joan

Amazing photos. So beautiful and powerful.
ReplyDeleteGod is awesome! He displays His glory everywhere.
I am happy to participate in Outdoor Wednesday for the first time this week.
Fabulous shots!! I am terrified of lightning. While living in Houston, TX my house was struck by lightning while I was on the telephone. The entire house shook so violently and all of the electrical circuits were blown out. The power also ran through the television cable from my house down the street and destroyed the cable box. When the fire department came they told me that it was a miracle that I was not killed or seriously injured. The lightning just scooted over me. I now have a great respect for this force of nature.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Susan and Bentley
xxoo
Those are absolutely outstanding lightning shots!!!
ReplyDeleteOOH! That is scary...I don't mind the storms as long as no tornado is part of it...we could use one right now.
