With only one system coming through that has produced thunderstorms here in Grand Rapids I was able to capture several lightning shots.  There were several storms during the day but there was little to no structure.  We did manage to get 1 inch hail and close to Kalamazoo they had 2 inch hail that did heavy damage to homes.

It was nice to sit in an open field and watch a weak storm produce some lightning.  I was only able to capture one near Middleville, MI, and capture three or so back at my apartment when another round of storms came through around 2am.  It seems that the lightning is always north of my apartment and i never catch any good ones.   Any way here are the one i came a way with from that night. Nothing to fantastic but still really nice to see.

I was eating a steak the other day, and as I sat down I noticed how my steak was shaped like the state of Michigan. I did not know the state of Michigan was so tasty. I also thought the hand was the only thing other than a map that I could use to show where I lived.
