Was watching the radar and feeling bummed that Tucson was getting the storms, then the little puffy cloud that could lit up red (rain core) on the radar, so I grabbed me gear and went 5 minutes to my favorite spot and got two nice shots.

Night time in the desert. A long "crawler" type lightning bolt runs horizontally across the otherwise dark, cloudy sky in the background, spreading out into half a dozen electric fingers. In the foreground, two large saguaro cactus are mostly silhouetted. Late afternoon desert lightning strike. The main bolt lands on a far, hazy ridgeline. A secondary bolt reaches out horizontally across the top of the frame. The foreground is open desert with lots of saguaro cactus in the distance. The clouds are a warm sunset orange, brighter where lit up by the lightning flashes.

@Mikal@sfba.social The skies look scarely due to storms!
Mostly, I fear the lightning and its thunder as they are found of striking people in our communities and the surrounding areas
