The other night, while working a job just north of Stanton, we had a pretty decent storm threatening us from a distance to the north. I was lucky enough to get some lightning shots with my phone, but I never could have imagined I’d catch a shooting star with it. I was watching the thunderhead with my phone pointed at it, trying to time the lightning. I had just snapped a photo and looked up in time to see a shooting star fade out. That’s always an event to appreciate, but I couldn’t help but feel disappointed that I didn’t see it in time to get a photo. Then it occurred to me that my last picture just may have captured the shooting star before I saw it burn out. Sure enough, it did. It isn’t much to look at. It’s more about having done it, to me, than the quality of the photo. I went back through the rest of the pictures and even studied the sky to make sure it wasn’t an actual star. ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2021/05/full-40300-293742-c1d6b201_70b8_48c6_a74a_659a7c624aae.jpeg) ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2021/05/full-40300-293743-0927ec02_0167_41e2_88bc_377e0e3f31b7.jpeg)
