Lightening Storm

It was midnight on the Ides of March (well almost). I saw flashes outside and went to check what was going on. The stars were shining all around except for a big black area in the sky in front of me - that suddenly lit up w/ lightening. A great opportunity. I got the camera out on it's tripod and clicked the shutter open. Took shot after shot as I listened to coyotes yip, a weird bird call, something moving through the dry grass just beyond the deck, and a wolf howl (?). Got some good pics while being frightened out of my wits. Great fun!
