We don’t have thunderstorms out here too often , but today something was building up in the north-west. The clouds turned really dark and at first we just got a few cloud bursts.

I was still working in my shop when Molly came in, sitting down right beside me and giving me the “please-rescue-me” face, Our dog is absolutely afraid of thunder and she can notice a thunderstorm coming in, long time before we do.

A curtain of water was splashing down. But you know what? Thunderstorms make for nice pictures.

We very rarely get thunderstorms here on Vancouver Island so thanks for posting those photos - nice shots!
ReplyDeletegreat photos Peter!!!..hope Molly was okay after the storm passed!!
ReplyDeleteI love to take pictures of storm clouds and have a file full of them. I don't like thunder and lightning either so I can have empathy with Molly! I'm glad we don't get to many of them here in Milwaukie, Oregon
ReplyDeleteThe south really has their thunderstorms. There is a huge difference. One thing for certain is that you are right, thunder storms do make great pictures. You had some great ones.
