Wheeler Weather by Steve Driskell Via Flickr: July 10th, 2011. Definitely one of the most frightening pictures I’ve ever taken. While standing under a pavilion at Rhodes Ferry Park, in Decatur, lightning was striking every few seconds, sometimes 4 maybe 5 in a single second. At one point a bolt spread its fingers directly above the pavilion and made me realize that it might be a good idea to leave. This is the last picture I took before I ran back to my car. Immediately after this picture, lightning started striking the bridges, about 5 times with in 2 or 3 seconds. Explore: July 10, 2011 #246

Voila! I think the striped background was a good choice instead of just a field of green.

Flowers arranged and ready to be fired!

We’ve the beginnings of a live oak!

Portraits made by cracking glass

Playing around with flower placement before these go in the kiln! Stems haven’t been added, yet, obviously.

Get to start working with these beauties tomorrow :D

Love how my fish turned out!

Fresh out of the kiln! I love how the fish and coral turned out!! :)
