SkyWatch Friday; Lighting triple treat!

These are all 3 lightning shots I captured last Friday night. The first

one is a bit blurry. The crash of thunder that accompanied the lightning

frightened me and I obviously shook the camera.

Flower Close-Ups

I'm always amazed at the clarity and sharpness of some

pictures. And these flowers are some of my favorites.

ENJOY!

Captured with my Olympus on the nature macro setting and a Kingston CompactFlash Elite Pro 133X memory card.

That's My World Tuesday; Blooming flowers

These are the white flowers we planted two years ago. I posted pictures of
the red ones when they opened last week. I adjusted the Olympus settings to
nature macro so the details of the subject are sharp and clear. Enjoy!

Lightning captured....

I was rudely jarred from my slumber last night when brilliant flashes of light made

their way through the window shade. Earlier in the day I adjusted the settings on my

Olympus Evolt E-410 so I wouldn’t find myself messing with it in the dark should we loose

power again. I should have modified the Nikon L18 as well since that was what I used.

I was able to capture 3 really good lightning pictures out of 75 attempts. If you want

to see the others, check back next week for the SkyWatch Friday post.

SkyWatch Friday; Columbus evening sky

A beautiful evening sky in central Ohio. Spring is my favorite

season for watching the sky and changing weather. These pictures

were captured with my Olympus EVOLT E-410 using a Kingston

Elite Pro 133X compact flash.

Sailing.....

The blue and white building appears like a sail out of the Cincinnati

skyline. Just across the Ohio River, in Covington Kentucky, sits The Ascent at Roebling's Bridge, a 22 story crescent-shaped residential building of condominiums.

My World Tuesday; A-Very-Mini-Times-Square

Across the street from the Ohio capital building is what I've dubbed

"the mini Times Square". The corner of High and Broad features

news, advertising and sports updates.

The Covenant

The rainbow covenant, G-ds promise to mankind.

“And I will remember my covenant, which is between Me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh. And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between G-d and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth.” Genesis 9:15-16
