Rebecca Goldthwaite captured this shot of lightning striking, seen from Beachplace on Longboat Key.

Each week, we choose a nature or weather-related photo to run on the weather page. Each weekly winner will be entered into a monthly contest for a $25 gift card. Go to yourobserver.com/weather to submit a photo, or several photos!

One grand prize winner will receive a $2,500 flooring makeover from Manasota Flooring Inc. (The grand prize winner must own a home in Sarasota County or Manatee County.) In addition, $1 will be donated to Project Traverse for every photo submitted — up to $2,500. Read more about Project Traverse: www.facebook.com/ProjectTraverse.
