If I had a mortal enemy – thunderstorms would be at the top of my list. I hate thunder. I hate lightning. I hate storms. Even though I grew up in Iowa, I never got used to the tornado warnings… and everything that came with them.

Tonight, we’re in Colorado Springs for an upcoming family wedding. The skies have been dark since we landed earlier this evening. We had just finished checking into our hotel, when I thought about holding my camera steady and firing off shots continuously – in the direction of frequent lightning strikes. Go ahead, click the thumbnail and see what I snagged. Can’t wait to do that again! Tomorrow, i’ve gotta figure out how to photograph thunder…
