Riding the storm out- Lorie's backyard pals

[charlie]

This was one heck of a thunderstorm that nite, 6PM to about 7PM











And while I was gone, both of our does decided that it was time to show off the kids.

Most Excellent! Thanx for the dose of serenity bro

Hey Rocky, those storm pics were taken in Lamar Colorado, almost down to your neck of the woods.

I love the deer ones!

[charlie]

I almost wish I would have left my Canon at home, Lorie took those with her little Nikon.
That is actually 2 different does, one had twins and the one had just one. I haven't seen them yet, I am waiting tho!

[scubadude]

Does are kewl....but if you get some pics of bucks that would be nicer

[charlie]

These 2 guys wandered in last year

[scubadude]

now were talkin....those are prolly only a couple years old but easy 6pt racks
Nice shots and you didnt even kill them

You can't shoot pets

Those are FUN Charlie! I am with you about the Deer, I could only shoot them with my 1D, not a rifle...

I won't go that far.................. but if I did that in my backyard, Lorie would make a real bad example out of me
Do you see anything different I could have done with those storm shots Mike? I tried to get the Mcdonalds sign out of there.

[Poseidon]

This is going to sound strange, but I like the McDonalds sign, and actually want to see more of it. The sign provides scale. What I don't like is the whatever it is on the left edge.... I'll tell you what, that is one MEAN looking cloud, did it dump tons o rain on you?

[charlie]

It wasn't only the cloud on the left that dumped a ton of rain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If it would have been earlier in the year, we probably would have had a tornado warning. When I lived in Illinois, I used to hate clouds that looked like that.

[Poseidon]

Ya, I was thinking that cloud was a Tornado sprouter... We get some doozy storms here in MI too, but that cloud looks REALLY crazy.

[charlie]

I just went back in my room and closed the shades The lightning was pretty rude too, I wanted to try and get a pic, but me and lightning don't get along real well.

[weez1959]

Wow, those were some crazy looking clouds! I'm not so scared of lightning, wind is what does for me, I usually head down to the dungeon!
My sister on the other hand really freaks out with lightning. I was at my mom's the other day and we were having a nasty thunderstorm and there was one crack that hit really close and I turned around and my sister was under the table so fast she hurt her hand!
Of course everyone in the house was laughing at her

Nice deer by the way, you're lucky to have them in your yard like that, our wildlife is the usual raccoons and ground hogs, and let's not forget those stinky little Peppy LePew's

[charlie]

Hey weez, as far as lightning goes, I have had the hair come up on the back of my neck 1 to many times. We can leave the lightning to itself!!!!

For the last 5 years, we have had at least 5 deer that make their home in our backyard. I looked out there early this spring and there were 7 deer out there. They just love Lorie's flowers too. That makes them real popular, but what the heck are you gonna do? I usually end up laughing real hard and having to go downstairs. I think if you look back to a couple of last years threads, we had a bear back there too, I think it was right after Labor Day.
