STORM SKIES OVER LANCASTER,OHIO FOR SKYWATCH FRIDAY
Franklin was a prodigious inventor. Among his many creations the lightning rod and I’m sure he would say, “Make sure to visit SKYWATCH FRIDAY
Emily Dickinson - The Lightning is a yellow Fork
“The Lightning is a yellow Fork
From Tables in the sky
By inadvertent fingers dropt
The awful Cutlery
Of mansions never quite disclosed
And never quite concealed
The Apparatus of the Dark
To ignorance revealed.”
I APPRECIATE THE HELP FROM BEN AND EMILY AND HOPE YOU ENJOYED THE PHOTO AND POEM.. HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND
TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY JUNE 9TH..
What a wonderful shot of the lightening Joe! I am tired of these storms already. I am losing too many trees.
ReplyDeleteWell Happy, Happy Birthday fella!!!
I hope you shoot a Parr....well a low one, I know nothing about golf. LOL!
Lightning's gorgeous as long as 1) you're indoors and 2) it doesn't strike your house! Nice shot--and happy birthday.
ReplyDeleteGreat shot! We have had a couple of very long lightning storms here, but I did not manage to get any pictures.
ReplyDeleteFantastic capture! You surely have had some wild skies in your part of the world lately! Hope you have a great weekend, Joe!

Oh wow...what an excellent capture! Electrifying ;)
ReplyDeleteAnd...Happy Birthday to you!
Excellent capture, i tried to do some lightning shots, but i can't seem to get a nice one. Am still fidgeting on my camera how to do it, thanks.
ReplyDeleteFantastic photo! I know how hard it is to get good lightning shots, as I've only captured a handful despite many attempts.
ReplyDeletewow! You are brave...what a fantastic shot!
ReplyDeleteYou know, Joe, we rarely get lightning here in western Oregon, and I miss it, but at least not having it makes life a little bit safer, and, of course, we rarely get tornadoes either. In fact, I've lived here since 1986, and I don't know that one has ever touched the ground, although one or two have been sighted in the air.
ReplyDeleteOh, perfect! For that capture of lightening you need to have a lot of sky!
ReplyDeleteI have tried to capture lightning, unsuccessfully, so this shot is totally awesome!!! Happy birthday!! Mine is next week!
ReplyDeleteAwesome lightening shot, Joe !
ReplyDeleteAnd well, Happy birthday too ! :)
