{This Moment} See Beautiful - Lightning My Way

We have had a lot of thunderstorms lately - almost every afternoon or evening, to be exact.  At times, the lightning has been striking only 0.1 miles from our house.  Eek!  It can be scary.

But the lightning can also be Beautiful if viewed from a safe distance.  Just the other night, it was lighting up the sky in front of our house like it was day time.  It was eerily Beautiful.

  13. Lightning is scary and then the big ones, you know that loud boom will follow. I'm not scared of it, but Mom doesn't like it much.

  14. That is really cool! I used to love watching storms. There can be some pretty cool sights! We rarely get storms here in Montana. The dogs definitely prefer it that way ;)

  18. You know, I'm sitting her through a thunderstorm and I wasn't seeing beautiful in it. There's flooding in our yard and our pups are scared, but reading this post has even helped me reframe my thinking. Thank you so much for that - and for seeing beautiful with us!

  20. Oh wow, that is amazing. Thunder storms are noisy (the part that scares us) and beautiful. We had one a couple of weeks ago and we all hid in the bedroom where it was quiet while mama watched it from the patio.

  21. When my kids were younger, we would celebrate thunderstorms. We'd all run to the windows or doors to watch. Now that they're grown, they still do. All of my pets don't really care either way, which is about what I would expect.

  22. I can't believe how bright that is! It is beautiful...but only from a distance. My hubby loves to watch the lightning....the dogs and I prefer to go in the basement and watch TV. :)

  23. We've been having almost daily thunderstorms too! The weatherman said last night on the news that they'll likely continue into next week.

  24. So cool. We haven't had a thunderstorm for a week or so, which makes Hailey glad (as she hates them). Lady always sees beauty in a storm.
