As for most everything else, it seems that thunderstorms are bigger in Texas!
We had a gorgeous storm a few days after we arrived at our new place. We didn’t get rain but we seized the occasion to try and capture images.
I had never really thought about it before, but taking a picture of lightning is far from easy. You never know when or where exactly it is going to strike.
The two pics below are the only ones worth posting (although only the first really is) among a dozen.
If any one has any tip, I’d love to read you!

Hill Country, Texas – August 2013
Books, cupcakes and cats chasing chipmunks... 
Fantastic photos! The guy at the shop told me to put my camera on a tripod, aim where nothing is moving but the lightning is prevalent, use one of those shutter release cords and open the shutter. Wait for some activity then close the shutter. I confess I didn’t have much luck but you’ve got great photos already so good luck!

They may be the only ones worth posting but they are both extraordinary shots. That lightning capture is truly remarkable. Well done!
