You be careful out there my friend with them storms. Be safe.
This one had to go to my favorites as the second my eyes laid on it, I was so taken in by the combination of danger and beauty. What a dramatic, from another world look you have here my friend. Love the cactus and the deadwood, such a hostile place. I sure hope the judges take this all the way to the gold. It darn well deserves it my friend.
Enjoy the weekend, take care. #1474799

GREAT CAPTURE of Mother Nature looking P^##@&

You be careful out there and don't get Hit w/a Bolt
don't want to see the Crazy Storm Shooter on the 11PM News look like a charcoal brickettookin... or worse.

Hi Bobby, The lighting is so beautiful! This would be beautiful framed and hanging. I love it! Be careful out in bad weather. My mother got struck by lighting 2 years ago. She survived, but spent a long time in a nursing home to be rehabilitated to be able to walk and talk again. #10230377
