Quite a storm rolled in off of Lake Michigan this morning. I had been watching it on radar in the predawn hours as it was crossing Wisconsin. The storm front held together as it crossed the lake and arrived on the Michigan shore just after sunrise.

I took over 1000 photos and only caught lightning on 5 or 6 shots.

The heavy rain held off as I was taking the photos as I only had to deal with sprinkles until the ominous cloud advanced toward the harbor.
I could handle getting a little wet as I hovered over my camera to keep it dry, but the wind associated with the fast approaching low-hanging cloud started pelting me (and more importantly my camera) with sand, so it was time to pack it up.
Love the Blog Header!! Great Pics as well!
ReplyDeleteThanks, I'm embarrassed to admit that I didn't solve the puzzle until Vanna turned over the last letter. The category threw me. I thought I was the only one who considered it a waste of time.
