  Franklin was a prodigious inventor. Among his many creations the lightning rod  and I’m sure he would say, “Make sure to visit SKYWATCH FRIDAY

Emily Dickinson - The Lightning is a yellow Fork

“The Lightning is a yellow Fork
From Tables in the sky
By inadvertent fingers dropt
The awful Cutlery

Of mansions never quite disclosed
And never quite concealed
The Apparatus of the Dark
To ignorance revealed.”


   I APPRECIATE THE HELP FROM BEN AND EMILY AND HOPE YOU ENJOYED THE PHOTO AND POEM.. HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND

Lightning's gorgeous as long as 1) you're indoors and 2) it doesn't strike your house! Nice shot--and happy birthday.

Great shot! We have had a couple of very long lightning storms here, but I did not manage to get any pictures.

Excellent capture, i tried to do some lightning shots, but i can't seem to get a nice one. Am still fidgeting on my camera how to do it, thanks.

Fantastic photo! I know how hard it is to get good lightning shots, as I've only captured a handful despite many attempts.

Laura said...

wow! You are brave...what a fantastic shot!

You know, Joe, we rarely get lightning here in western Oregon, and I miss it, but at least not having it makes life a little bit safer, and, of course, we rarely get tornadoes either. In fact, I've lived here since 1986, and I don't know that one has ever touched the ground, although one or two have been sighted in the air.

Oh, perfect! For that capture of lightening you need to have a lot of sky!

Judy said...
