Simple shots

5/22
Today it's in the low 60's with lots of sun, racing white clouds and wind. I took this picture yesterday, the cold front moving in. It was so eerie looking, the sky was dark and crackling with energy, but the trees and grass were letting off a soft green glow. Michael and I had gone to the movies and on our way back I was watching the sky - you just knew something was brewing. We were going to stop at Gregg and Shelly's house for a couple minutes and we were almost there when I asked Michael to pull over so I could take this. It was silent - no birds singing, no kids, no dogs - just silent. Not even 5 minutes after I took this the rain started with a vengeance, and then hail. It reminded me so much of the storms we would see when we were living in Austin. Very powerful. I'm glad that men haven't really figured out how to manipulate the weather yet. It's still neatly held in the hands of God. A good place to be all things considered. Posted by Picasa
