Default Lightning - Electrifying!

I've waited a whole year for the monsoon to come back to Arizona - just so I can resume trying to capture lightning. Tonight I got pretty lucky with a good light show as I was only out there for 10 minutes or so snapping pictures. Enjoy!

Beautiful Shots! I'd like to try these, but my wife always yells at me. She worries that I'll get hit by the lighting!. l.o.l
Actually I just haven't had a good opportunity yet!
Thanks for Sharing these

Last year a strike hit in a field across the street while I was taking pictures. Thanks for the comments.
