MORE LIGHTNING FUN

We had a fairly significant monsoon the other night. Some rain, lots of thunder and lightning. Perfect for photo taking. These were all taken from my backyard. Once the rain stopped there were a few taken from my roof. I played with them just a bit in Photoshop, something I typically don't do. My favorite is the bottom photo where you can see the drops of water coming off my roof frozen in time.

PHOTO FOR THE DAY

WATER! We had a spectacular monsoon storm last night. Thunder, lightning, and torrential rain at my house. Punctuated by a span of 45 minutes of eerily silent dark without electricity. No sound of the air conditioner, computer fans or refrigerator. Wondering what I would do with the dogs in the morning if it didn't come back on. On the walk this morning, with eyes feasting on the rich colors of sparkly clean everything and surrounded by moist dirt smell, I watched cars swerve just to go through the puddles. The rain brings out the kid in all of us desert dwellers.
