  3. Hi hazel nut,

    I love storms as well, the lightning shots are great to capture, so long as you have ear muffs! :) We got a lightning storm here last night, so I'll post my lightning shots soon. Hope you can make it here again to see them.

    Cheers,

    David

    Wow, I look forward to seeing your photos. Do you often get photos of the large storms approaching?

    Cheers,

  9. I love that moment right before a storm when the air is heavy and still, almost as if the world is holding its breath.

  12. David: It doesn't look like that tree has a lot more storms in it. I enjoy when you capture the blue with the dark clouds.

  16. Hi expat mom,

    I'm glad you like that photo. As you can see, it's personally my favourite. But, last night I got another lightning photo that might replace it soon.... :)

  18. Hi fishing guy,

    This tree doesn't have many more storms left in it. It's the same one I used in my lightning photo in the sidebar, and it's already dead due to the drought. Great observation there too - I wouldn't have thought of pointing that out!

    Cheers,

    David
