Silver Linings..

We were promised thunder and lightening and mercy me - we got both! Love it ! I think I am a Thunder Child!

After that had passed …. may be enhanced on the Black….

Three good things
1. Made Kirk Roast (who knows what that is?) and the gravy was part of this dish. My mother taught me how to make gravy but I have introduced stock that I have made myself into this.
2. Another photo of a rose - but thats just another photo of a rose.
3. My hubby is still clumping around with a supermarket plastic bag on his foot. The toe injury hasn’t stopped bleeding. But we have been to the Doctor.

Beautiful image Maggie!

[Ruth Moucharafieh]

Magnificent! Love a good, noisy storm!

[katy]

A beautiful shot of the drama and I am with you about loving a great thunder storm. Just one more way we are alike

[Maggiemae]

@grammyn There is something about thunder - so dramatic!

[Pat Knowles]

I must check out Johns injury, I must have missed a post!
This shape looks like a bear in full flight! Can you see his head up as he zooms along with his arms back? Black eye & black nose!

[Maggiemae]

@happypat Wow - didn't pick that out, Pat! John had a piece of wood fall on to his toe and the injury has now just barely stopped bleeding after 3 days! He's on blood thinners so that's to be expected!

[Joyce]

Lovely shot of the storm. I enjoy them but my dogs hate them!

[Dianne]

Great image - thunder storms are great, as long as you're not in a tent!

[Delia]

Great shot. I can see the bear too. Hope John is better

[gloria jones]

Neat image...I see the bear :).

[Bep]

Fantastic on black! Dramatic...

[Helen Jane]

Very dramatic image.

[Beryl Lloyd]

Very dramatic

[kristof lauwers]

looks quite spectacular! great shot.

[Pat Knowles]

@maggiemae Oh dear poor John. Hope the bleeding stops soon, could be a bit messy! Definitely a bear!

[Gillian]

Very dramatic indeed!

[Daisy Miller]

Dramatic sky image! A fav I hope John's foot is better soon.

[Debra]

What a dramatic capture...the bear popped out right away before I even saw the comments of others.

[Tony]

Impressive cloud capture. Interesting to imagine various shapes. Fav

[KWind]

Very dramatic!

[Babs]

super shot. I can see the bear @happypat well spotted.

I love a good thunder storm and I could do with a few silver linings at the moment.

[Naomi]

This is great, you can really feel the thunder

[Maggiemae]

@onewing The silver linings are always there, Babs! You just need to have the right specs on! Keep looking!

[Maggiemae]

@naomi I wish we could have sound and smell with our photographs, Naomi!

[Yao RL]

I am sure that I see an eye in it.

[Taffy]

Fascinating clouds and brilliant light/color. Poor John!

[Harry J Benson]

good minimalism
I hope his foot is better now

[Emilie Cartoun]

Perfect title for this interesting shot.

[Valerie Chesney]

Wonderfully Dramatic...

[Ron]

I thought you'd fallen down a hole! Amazing capture!

[Sylvia du Toit]

Beautiful.

[Maggiemae]

@stray_shooter My name is not Alice, Ron!

[Ron]

@maggiemae :-) Good one!

[Dawn]

A wonderful dramatic shot fav

[Barb]

Thunder and lightning! Wish we had the drama but by the time it gets up here all we get is rain!

[Dione Giorgio]

Well captured. Very difficult to capture.

[Annie D]

Great moody tones Maggiemae

[ChristineL]

Such drama in the weather! Well captured.

[Margo Sayer]

Great Bear?! We love storms too.

[Daweenie]

Now that's a storm! Love your list of 3 things - nothing like concentrating on the positive (seeing the sun instead of the clouds).

[Francoise]

count me in, sister.

[Ann Williams]

So dramatic. Could be a still from a horror film Maggiemae.

[Margaret Brown]

Nice light and capture

[Netkonnexion]

Great image. The light really draws you in. Nice work.

[Sally Ings]

Very dramatic looking sky and sounds like there's been some drama in your surrounds as well. I have missed a few days due to very busy work load and internet issues. I will try to do some catch up but time is not really a willing participant at present.

[Maggiemae]

@salza No particular drama here in the immediate past, Sally! Nice that you took the time to comment here!

[Sally Ings]

@maggiemae I was referring to John and his bleeding toe. I see that you have explained what happened in reply to someone else! I hope all is now sorted.

[Maggiemae]

@salza Thank you Sally - he's still got the plastic bag tied on to his foot but the bandage is almost clean now!

[bruni]

Do you want to know what I see in this cloud formation. well, a face of an ice bear and another one of a monkey. looks really great on black. fav.

Toes and finger tips bleed a long time with or without blood thinners and I have to take two of them every day.

[Maggiemae]

@bruni Yes, you would know, Bruni- its been 4 days now and the toe is just starting to dry out! I can't find the monkey!!

[bruni]

Maggie, when you look further down from the zooming bear you see a golden colour cloud. in the dark part of it I see two big eye and they to me look like the eye of a monkey.. just my imagination I guess.

[Maggiemae]

@bruni Oh, I thought that was the bear! Now I can't see the bear - will have to cross my eyes and concentrate!

[Sarah Munnings]

I love thunder and lightning too. Sorry to hear about your hubby's foot

[Maggiemae]

@pixiemac They are two events we can't capture on a camera, Sarah though I have seen some lightening photos which must be the result of a huge storm and a tripod taking photos all the time! Not for me!

[Judith Greenwood]

OOh scary sky but I like a thunderstorm when I'm indoors - or I did until we got a scared dog!

[Sandy]

Drama in the sky.

[Nadiya Bilovodenko]

stunningly dramatic picture !!! I love it!
