THUNDERSTORM CLOUDS IN MY WORLD

In my world we had a small thunderstorm with a little rain shower this afternoon!!! I had heard it thundering at a distance and could see the clouds getting darker. I ran into the house and got my camera (like a good "gatherer" does) and begin to take pictures of the clouds. It was not raining just thundering but because the thunder was getting closer I stayed under the carport and walked from side to side taking pictures, - when all of a sudden there was a 'BIG BIG BANG', ---I saw a streak of bright lightening strike a tree in the woods beside my home......needless to say the 'picture taking' stopped and I got my 'scared to death' self inside!! (When you're "whoring" you will do stupid and crazy things..........................)!!

Pictures were taken consecutively as they appear, - notice picture number three has no dark clouds, -- it was taken directly behind my home while the other pictures were taken on each side of my home.!

Very nice. Here in the Phoenix area we tend to get happy excited when we get thunderstorms, as we almost always need just a little more rain.
