Capturing Thunder

It started getting dark during the early evening hours. So I took my camera out and took some pictures of these storm clouds. I had to. That is what I do. I take pictures. hehehe Then it got dark and the storms came.

Now what did I do? I took more pictures. I took about 100 pictures of the weather. I was trying to get a good shot of some lightning. Did I do it? YES!!!! I was excited to see these on my computer and see the streaks thru the sky. Don't forget to click on the pictures to see them bigger and better. How many of you have ever tried to get pictures of a storm?





These pictures I took were at night but with all that lightning it certainly did not look like night time. We are very happy to have gotten some rain. I'll check in the morning but we possibly got about an inch. Of course, that does nothing for the drought we are in but I am hoping it's the beginning of some rain.


I'm still learning to take pictures with my Canon. Storms are a favorite thing of mine to try to master. One day I will be good.




So two nature nights for us. Last night we took out a cushion and layed out in the back of the truck to see the meteor shower and we saw plenty. Some green, some pink, some small and some that went across the whole sky. Followed by another kind of awesome light show. The boys were excited by both.

Sunset to Moon

I've been playing around with the settings on my camera and the one thing I try to capture is the sun and moon.

Night time is the hardest to figure out but I think I did a pretty good job of the moon. Hope you enjoy my pictures of a Texas sunset and our part of the moon.

Late night fun

San Antonio, Tx was our destination yesterday. We had a fun field trip. Yep, we dressed up for that too. We went to the Majestic Theatre to see The Phantom of the Opera. We got there early so we walked along the Riverwalk and took some pictures of us relaxing.
I love my little ones wink, don't you?
Here is the proof we did go. My kids actually liked it. Well, except for the little one. He cried when we got there. The theatre looked a little scary to him. Then we sat down and he cried again when it started with all the pyrotechnics going on and the loud creepy music. After a while he liked it. After a long while. Actually when it was over he was smiling and ready to leave. I'll have to take him to an Elmo show or something. So I am wondering if those that know me personally are actually shocked that I went to see the Phantom of the Opera? Spamalot is coming to the Majestic. Monty Python is right up my hubby and sons alley. By the way, we got home at 2am and headed straight to bed. Tired, tired.

A tiring day

My boys rode their bikes and rode and rode. They were exhausted by the end of the day. I love it when this happens. It was sooo cute to see them asleep on the sofa all wrapped up together. Hope everyone else had a fun and exhausting day.

Sunset

I had to leave you with this for tonight. Our sunset was outstanding. The orangey pink in the sky was incredible. Is orangey a word? hehe Just had to share.
