Great capture, Ed, and I surely would not have wanted to be this close up when taking this! Must have been a bit scary! Thanks for sharing this hair raising photo op! What a fine piece of artwork for me to proudly display on our Featured Artwork section of our Homepage, within our family of friends and fine artists, in our Wisconsin Flowers and Scenery group. It is truly an honor to showcase your talents and beautiful artworks within our site, as our members get more promotion than in most groups, as I change out our Featured Artworks section 20 to 30 images at a time, and almost on a daily basis. I also change out our Top FEATURED artists weekly. I am proud to display this fine piece of beauty you have created for us to enjoy and share with others. LIKED Forever, Elvis

Thanks, Sourav. Yes, we were safe, but it was a little close...: ) A few minutes after this picture was taken, the huge hail started falling, with the 1st hail stone falling a few feet away from me. I dove in the van and we drove south quickly. Thanks for asking!
