Clouds of Smoke

My family has been in S W Florida for about 6 generations. I'm happy that the park service/ forestry finally figured out that the natural landscape here does better if it is allowed to burn off the fluff every few years. We both my grandfather and my father were woods guides. My grandfather, born about 1875 at Ft Myers guided with an ox cart, which was a popular mode of land transportation in this area back then. My Dad and I used to burn palmetto patches in the middle of wet season so that deer and quail would have good places to live and fresh growth to eat.
Nice snapshot of an activity that not too many people understand fully.

That's a different sort of way of looking at "doggieness". Shutter speed is longer than I thought it would be.

I looked through all of them. You've given me the film bug again.

Zapboom. It's just that quick too, when it's this close. You can hear a snap then the thunderclap. Glad you were not on the receiving end of that bolt. Congrats on the weather report hit.

Trying to steal my thunder, are you?

What everyone else said, and also, it's pretty special that the lightning originates in the center of the arc. It's definitely not an everyday snapshot.

Great capture. That had to be scary, esp for the guys launching the fireworks.

It sure makes your day or night when everything just does the right dance step to make a spectacular image. This was one of those moments, and you were ready.
