Lightening Storm






Last night we had the most amazing lightening storm here in St. George. We watched it for over and hour and then I tried to take some pictures. I made the mistake of taking them through the plexiglass (we have it above one of our window coolers in the upstairs bedroom) and so all the scratches in the glass show up. I should have gone outside but I am afraid of lightening, so it was hard for me to even sit at the window and take these. Some of the lightening bolts were so close. There was multiple strikes at the same time all over the sky. It was very bright and beautiful. I just had my little digital camera. Times like this I wish I had a fancy camera like Luann. I'm sure she could have gotten some great shots. On a totally different subject: We went to a movie last night called: "Fly Boys" (not the cartoon I have seen advertised) It was very good. If it comes in your area you should go see it. It was filmed right here in St. George. The trail and the park the boys go on with their bikes is the one right behind my house where we go walking. It shows our beautiful red mountains, etc. Parts of it were also filmed in Mesquite and Las Vegas. The father of the writer of the movie lives in Santa Clara by Brad and Stephanie. Brad (who is a helicoptor pilot now)says he flies all over the same places that they flew over in the movie.
