After taking so many pictures of so many storms one will expect that our Karla has definitive left that scare-feelings somewhere in a room corner of the basement (possibly a dark one)

Hello Karla,



Bold. And scary. I have great fear of lightning- it seems to "know" when you are looking, and strikes very near to where you are. Geat write and really awesome photo.

Good for you to find a way to overcome your once paralyzing fear of storms, Karla. It is only when we stand in front of the dragon that we have an opportunity to extinguish its flames. Thanks for sharing and also for sharing your photo. Merry Christmas to you, Karen and all those you love.
Take care,
Sherry

Karla this is great, I've missed you all did you get the card?
In Christs Love
Michelle!

Frightening photo, Karla. Congratulations on holding your ground
in the Wal-Mart showdown. You're a wizard with your camera as well
as your words. -gene.

Bravo. You are awesome to face your fear. Be careful. Hugs. Liz

what a nice way to introduce yourself...liked it too much.aah...i can visualize..skies knocking...wow

there is new found bravado in your poem Karla -- the skies should be advised, 'this your intent to chase the storms 'til their end -- this is another wonderful piece Karla -- I very much enjoy your words and the photo -- peace and love to you my friend -- JMW

Looking at each other... so the next step may be talking to each other. The beginning of romance? Hmm, where is this going to lead you, I wonder. I'll keep an eye on both of you. I'm going to click and watch in just a second.

A perfect poem for the Eye of the storm!

Okay, so now you're getting tough, standing out in that cool weather taking pics of the incoming storm takes strength...I would love to see December lightening in NJ, maybe with snow along with it, but fat chance, unless you send it this way...Ed [though Rufuz wouldn't like it]

Good on you, Karla! And now all you have to do is spit in its eye! LOL GREAT write; brava, and the video capture is fantastic! CHASE ON, StormSpinner!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your twin, Karen Lynn. :D X0X0X0X0X0

Good On You - and Keep Starin Back!

I like this one... "The Skies Have Eyes" leads one to deep thinking on the affairs of humans.

I salute You, Poet.

KARLA - GOOD ON YOU GAL! INTREPID R U !

"WE HAVE NOTHING TO FEAR, BUT FEAR ITSELF!"

ALL BULLIES ARE BIG - UNTIL YOU STARE THEM DOWN!

A POEM --->

Why Worry?

There are only two things to worry about:
Either you are well or you are sick.
If you are well, then there is nothing to worry about.

But if you are sick, there are two things to worry about:
Either you will get well or you will die.
If you get well, there is nothing to worry about.

If you die, there are only two things to worry about.
Either you will go to Heaven or Hell.
If you go to Heaven, there is nothing to worry about.

But if you go to Hell, you’ll be so darn busy,
Shaking hands with friends,
You won’t have time to worry.
