Day 223 of 365

Had a really nice bow echo move through the area last night. We missed the more organized portion of it (epic epic shelf went southwest of us) but it still provided a great lightning show... for 8 minutes. All of these bolts occurred within 8 minutes, from the first good one I captured to the last. After that, it was a really sporadic crawler every half hour or so for the next couple hours. Just weird to go from getting multiple CGs in 15-second frames to absolutely nothing like *snap* that. Definitely grateful for what I got, as apparently the southwest (the only good direction we have a view of from the house) was the only area to produce these nice bolts. All occurred within a mile or two. This is a "stacked" image, meaning that I overlaid several exposures Sorry about some of the "ghosted" bolts, our kitchen windows are double-paned glass
