Last night I felt like a storm chaser!!
We had a thunderstorm warning and I decided to take some photographs. The sky was quickly changing and I was in fine form and ready with my trusty camera.
To say, I was totally involved in taking as many photographs that I could, an understatement.
Did my husband think I was nuts, yes!
I was so involved with my "photography hobby", I have a fairly new camera and I was having a blast! I was running out the front door and back out to the back deck and then running from room to room, was in my glory.
It was only after the Mr. was adamant
that I no longer stand outside.
I was never in danger.
I truly felt like I was taking photographs to send to our local television station's meteorologist! I know he would have been captivated with the shots, I know he would have so wanted them for his 10:00 o'clock news segment! I just know it.
Sitting here with these great shots, I decided to share them with you!
Okay, I know, you all may not suppose these photographs are as sensational as I do, but, shh...just don't tell me! Humor me!
I could not see anymore!
Lights went out!
That's all for now!
(Oh yes, I do have many more, however, I think I have shared enough for now!)
Hope you are all having a great day!
Nancy
Your pictures brought to mind that song by Garth Brooks, The Thunder Rolls. I'm sure the weatherman is still waiting for your pictures for his news cast. I'm glad you posted the one of inside safe and sound. We just have rain, no thunder or lightening. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteWe will just call you storm chasing Nancy. Love the photos. What a wonderful view from your deck. You must be up high.
ReplyDeletePlay by play of the storm moving in. Be safe during your storm chasing!
ReplyDeleteYou crack me up!
ReplyDeleteThis looks like our Memorial Day! And more is predicted for the next four days. The grass and flowers love it. Me, not so much!
ReplyDeleteGreat photographs!
Best,
Bonnie

ReplyDeleteHi Nancy,
ReplyDeleteWe bloggers will do anything for a good photo to post! LOL! Even risk our lives, walk through blinding snow, lean out of a 20 foot story building, leap single bounds, hop a moving freight train and chase down the Habitat truck!!!....well, I might be exaggerating just a little! LOL.
Your photos made a good post and you captured that storm spot on girl.
hugs

Hi Nancy, Thanks for visiting me. And now I believe your storm is upon us here in Shreveport!
ReplyDeleteNancy I felt like I was right there with you...wish I would have been we would have had a blast....
ReplyDeleteHi there Nancy! Oh my goodness, you know I had such a bad storm last night and it blew out some of my electronics. We have been missing the rain and girl... did we ever get it last night!
ReplyDeleteLove your pictures, storms are interesting to me. The skies are gorgeous!

Great shots! I love watching the sky during a storm. Exciting,beautiful, and scary all at the same time!
ReplyDeleteOh wow that is like the storm we had the other night....it got dark and rained like crazy...speaking of at least your Mr. made you come inside!!
ReplyDeletenancy, my honey & i used to go all the time. we'd each guess how far the storm was and then chase it to see who was closest.
ReplyDeletehe'd like to go with a crew one time.
if you lived near us, we could caravan-storm-chase!!!! woooooooohooooooo.
Right, Nancy! You've always had that streak of adventure in you. Your pictures are wonderful. Had no idea Austin got it so bad last night. Heard San Antonio did. We had a terrific lightening and thunder storm. Not much rain.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
Hugs,

PS - Love the music!!
Thanks for stopping by. Your pictures show the progression of the storm. Were you crazy woman!? The end looks pretty dark and evil out there!
ReplyDeleteI came to thank you for your visit, but now I have to show Allie your pictures! She's been getting into photography and these are wonderful- I love how the plants are swaying. Great job!

Hi, Nancy! So glad you came by my blog and I found my way here. I see we share a love of photography/blogging. LOL. Along with several other of my blogging friends I see have already stopped by today. Also see we love our grandchildren, golf, knitting and our homes... I look forward to coming back! =)
ReplyDeleteYou did good with your photos! I have to admit - Storm rolls in, I duck for cover. 2 good rain drops would probably wipe out my camera. :D I am watching radar now to see if I need to shut the computer down.
ReplyDeletewow, that was quite a storm. Is that normal for your area?? I think I would be in a panic if I saw that coming...although we have had our share of wind and rain lately!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by, I always love meeting new bloggers. I will be back for more!! take care jj
You are a storm chaser! I always wanted to be a photographer for National Georgraphic.They take some of the neatest pics.

Hi Nancy, Thanks for stopping by seducedbyyarn. I'm glad I found you. Your storm pictures are great!
ReplyDeleteI have to agree with Sissy us bloggers will do anything to get that prefect picture for our site.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you are enjoying your new hobby and you are not bad with the camera at all. I bet before long they will have you on the 5;00 austin news instead of 10pm.
The view from your balcony is breath taking. I wish my sons house had your view. A few more pictures and I might figure out what area you live in. lol
Love where I live but a view like yours could presude me to move to Austin
Enjoyed my visit and I always appreciate your coming by with your get well wishes.
Love
Maggie
There's nothing like a good old Spring storm! Living in Kansas, we see a lot! Thanks so much for leaving a comment on my vintage napkin post. Loved having you stop by! Sandi
ReplyDeletethanks so much, nancy, for visiting my blog! i've enjoyed looking through yours. great photos (i love storms)...what a view you have. and i definitely am going to make some texas gold bars. thanks for sharing a yummy sounding recipe.
ReplyDeleteI love a good storm! Gives me the chance to brew a cup of tea, read good book and veg!
ReplyDeleteI love storms. I am from Indy, so we had lots of storms growing up there. In CA we don't get much storms. I have lived here for almost 15 years and can count on one hand how many times we had REAL storms. People are fearful of too much rain out here too.
ReplyDeleteI loved your photos and I love it that you made us wait until after the story to show us. Very Cool!!!!
Oh noooo, that is too funny! I can just picture your running back and forth with your camera trying to get the peferct shot! Last week I was out during a hail storm trying to get my flower pots inside, it was crazy weather, thought I was going to be struck by lightening, not good! You really got some great shots, though! I'm so happy you enjoyed my Show and Tell Friday ~ Girls Just Wanna Have Fun! It really was wonderful designing this table to celebrate "PINK" and all things that remind me of romance! Thank you for visiting and leaving your sweet comment! Note to Nancy...thunder and Lightening is very dangerous!
ReplyDeleteHugz,

Oh my... the Austin area is so pretty! Don't storms just take your breath away sometimes? We have been having a lot of storms this past week... the pups are not happy about it, but I could listen to the rumble of thunder all day long and never tire of it.

Oh GIRL! You are a woman after my own heart! I LOVE STORMS! We don't get very many here in So Cal so when we do - CAMERA IS READY! I have yet to capture a lightning strike. I need a trip pod - and a very slow shutter speed - nothing which I have time for because they roll through in the blink of an eye. Can you tell my photography skills need improving? LOL.
ReplyDeleteLOVED THIS!
Thanks for posting the Sorority! I think we are all going to have a blast!!!!
I'm off to go add you to the list. I'll see you at the party on the 25th!
Karen ~ Some days are diamonds
Hi Nancy! Do you watch that show? I am always stressed out when I do...shouting things like "get back in your car?" and "are you insane?" until my husband shuts it off!
ReplyDeleteYour view is amazing! Really gorgeous.
Fun pictures!
