What a flirt. Just right for a tummy tickle and a game of chance with flashing paws/claws. (Interestingly, Sapphy now attacks us with clawless paws even though the claws are there - she's very considerate not to draw blood).

That big puddle is mozzie-ville indeed. Like how the refection is as strong as the reflected part, plus a cool big street-light.

Beautiful evening and refleksion

Nice one. Like how they look like fingers. Love the detail.

Amazing image. Lots to enjoy.

Wonderful, especially that clump of lighting strikes to the left. I find these storms to be endlessly fascinating and we hardly ever have them here, so your pictures are a real tonic. I don't mind the houses below, they are like witnesses to the big events above. The sprinklers are off this time I note.

Cuties. Those cacti are enormous.

Amazing fire in the sky!

WOW! amazing storm

@Graeme, yeah, but I'm thinking maybe shorter exposures to compensate (to keep it dark) might wor? Can't hurt to try... It may just be that the lightning has to be at a certain intensity to show up no matter what? The sky was a lot darker this time compared to last time, but most of the big lightning was closer last time too..
