I first saw my buddy cat Skipper running and trying to find a place to hide, which meant to me that a storm was a brewing. I stepped out onto the back porch and looked to the west towards town and saw this cloud coming. It put out such a bright light and was irresistible, so I got my camera and gave it a shot. Sure enough, about an hour later wind, rain, lighting and thunder came down with a vengeance. My wife and I turned off the computer and any electrical components and hunkered down. We survived without any casualties. Skipper, my cat, he emerged about an hour later, shaken but unharmed. I am pondering to give him a merit badge (Pit'r Pats)for bravery, and being the Forward Observer who gave us the first warning of a bad storm. Kudos to my little buddy!
I am an established folk artist, who enjoys tinkering with the digital camera, thanks to my wife, who is a professional photographer.
My subject matters in art lean towards coastal, and other water scenes, as well as Vietnam War folk art.
I was a USMC door gunner in Vietnam, 66-67, serving at Dong Ha and Marble Mountain.
I received the Purple Heart.
I love clouds...I am always taking photos of them! lol
