We saw a few severe storms in the area last night, so we went east of town to try for some good storm/sunset shots.

At this point we took a timelapse of the storm as the sun sets. Video will be added later.

The spots of light in the bean field are fireflies. There were so many of them and the photos don't do them justice. And the farmer's cat kept us company. :)

Wow! In really like the lightening photos, and the sunset ones. Now I am jealous that I didn't go with you that night. :)

Yeah.... seeing a new picture a day is really great. Especially when you don't post on your blog that much... (hint hint)

Haha! So true, Sarah. =) It is really nice though. (Btw, I love today's-that's an insane lightning bolt!)

They got that picture on the way home from our house, if I don't miss my guess...

I added new Photo of the Day navigation buttons! The lightning photo that Rachel commented on is here, and Sarah, the photo that you were talking about was taken in northwest Nebraska. Not too far from Colorado, but not on the way from your house. :)

I was talking about the lightning photo :P

Oh, sorry Sarah. :P Well, that photo was actually taken just north of Minden, NE on Q Road looking east toward Heartwell. It was our second storm chase ever. :) We put the photo on Google Earth too. The storm we drove through on the way back from Denver would have made good photos, Sarah, but our camera was dead at the time. :(

Aw shucks. That's no fun. I almost know what that feels like because I have no lens for my camera until the boys get back. :(

Rachel C
Awww, I'm sorry, Sarah. That really stinks! I'm assuming you like taking pictures? :) That photo was taken near Minden? Oh, wow-that's pretty close. Cool! :P

Yeah just bought the Canon T1i and I use my photog brother's lenses. :D :D :D I wouldn't have bought a camera if it weren't for him because he's got a bunch of stuff I can use!

Michael Tillotson
You need to save up for at least one of your own lenses so that your camera is still worth something when you're brother's on a trip. :)

That's what I'm working on now. :P

Good, Sarah, good! :P
