Default Clouds, the Moon, and Lightning

A few days ago a large cumulus cloud next where I live expanded upward and then once reaching it's atmospheric limit it expanded outward over me and gave a truly beautiful vista, and then shortly after that same cloud had a large multitude of visible cloud to cloud lightning and I was able to actually capture a bolt, which is pretty hard with my camera since it has a delay.

I hope you enjoy this rough mosaic with the moon in the upper-left corner (this probably covered about 100-120 degrees of the sky, so one shot just couldn't do it justice):

And here is the lightning (I had the gray scale set on for something else and had no time to switch, obviously)

Then a little later that night I caught the moon close up:

And finally, a picture with a pine:

My camera was a Samsung S860.

Thanks for looking.
