July 3rd lightning

My first ever shot of capturing a bolt o' lightning... I was out taking fireworks pics and a storm started up so of course I stayed outside like an idiot and tried to capture some shots of the bolts themselves....

Meredith: A couple of hundred years ago, Benjamin Franklin shared with the world the secret of his success. Never leave that till tomorrow, he said, which you can do today. This is the man who discovered electricity. You think more people would listen to what he had to say.... Until we finally understand for ourselves what Benjamin Franklin really meant. That knowing is better than wondering, that waking is better than sleeping, and even the biggest failure, even the worst, beat the hell out of never trying...
