Like I've said, it's low hanging fruit. Someone has to pick it.

My brother lives in Corvallis, MT.

Love the contrast in textures and similarity in color palette. Good design. Snow in the distance adds depth.

How long did you wait for this? I've been on commercial shoots where I've waited nearly 6 hours for the light to get right.

When the sky is clear, step out + wave to the satellite...

Don't forget to smile!!!

Boy! That’s some sky!

But even that has a charm of its own.

I love and miss t-storms. Moved from KCMO to L.A. There have only been 2 comparable t-storms in the 35 years I've been here and even then they would be called mild compared to back home.
In the Hollywood area it's typically just a clap of thunder or two (maybe more depending on where you are in L.A.) and a few bolts of lightening.
If I was up in the mountains or in the desert here that would change significantly.

And it's heading our way to feed our lakes and streams.

I'm happy when I get a strike .. a serendipitous strike .. in a photo like this. But I no longer set up for "lightning photography." I've done that in the past .. still and video.

Like the distant lightning in this shot of a storm over Tucson shot from Lemmon Rock lookout in July 2014:

The lighting is perfect.
