Good start to spring

When the first thunderstorms of the spring came on April 1, I was ready. I found a good location, facing west with something interesting in the foreground, and waited. But I struck out; no lightning in my frames and then the rains came.

So then I moved to my second location, where I should have gone from the start. The spot faces east and has shelter from the rain. That's where I got this shot.




I have an idea for another location, with water to reflect the lightning, that I want to try later in the spring.
