It’s amazing how the light of the purple flame ignites the sky with its beauty.

That is beautiful, Joseph! Thank you so much! What was so interesting is that I could not see this beauty in the sky until I looked at the photo. The sky was black until the lightning brightened up the sky and clouds. The purple was such a treat! Thank you, my friend. Cher xoxoxo

Thank you so much, dear Eddie! It was quite surprising when I saw the photo, because while I was taking it, the sky was dark and for a split second, there were flashes of light. I took A LOT of photos to get this one, but I am so grateful I did. Thank you, dear Eddie! Blessings to you always, Cher xoxoxo

What a beautiful photo, Cher. The night sky lighting up always looks like something from a disaster movie to me. Or I feel like I’m in a horror movie. A spectacular light show you certainly had there. Were there lots of thunder, too?

Thank you so much, Hugh! I agree with you! Once I saw the photos, I was thinking that they belonged as a scary backdrop in a movie! Oh yes, there was a lot of lightning! You know, there wasn’t much thunder, but I think that was a good thing, as I might have jumped ten feet in the air while taking the photos if there had been a loud clap at the same time! LOL
Thank you so much, Hugh! Cher xoxoxo
