Lightning

I love storms and lately I've been totally enamored with big, crashing, fierce thunder and lightning storms. We don't get them often though this spring we've had a whole lot of rainy days.
I like the dark blue mornings after a particularly wet night a whole lot.
Anyhow, the other day I came across this post on Dark Roasted Blend with an amazing collection of lightning strike photos! I thought they were incredibly cool. Enjoy!

Leaf Silhouette Custom Portrait

These Leaf Silhouette Custom Portraits are offered by Jenny Lee Fowler on Etsy and I think they would make unique and beautiful gifts. You send a photo of the lucky lady/gentleman, choose a leaf and she'll work her magic! Leaf cuttings will be available again in late spring so you have a bit of time to arrange the perfect photo to use.

Beyond Light by Albert Koetsier

Below are just a couple of examples of the amazing X-rayography art that can be found on Albert Koetsier's website, Beyond Light. His process includes more than just taking x-rays of beautiful flowers and other things found in nature and it's really pretty fascinating (you can read about it here).

Spider Webs

Dark Roasted Blend has a fascinating article about spider webs that's packed with extraordinary photos! I must warn you though that if spiders make you a little queasy, some of the photos of the giant communal webs might make you a little green!
The photos below are two of my favorites from the article and the images lead to the flickr pages of their photographers.
