About the Weather...

Weather is a funny thing. Just a few days ago it was a wonderfully sunny (yet wet from previous rains) and relatively warm (70 degrees) day. It ended with threats of severe thunderstorms and tornadoes (which never happened), but gave me this beauty. Now just 3 days later, there was ice on the back deck and there has been wind and snow flurries. There is something lovely about gray clouds that bring snow, however...

Storms and Tornadoes, Oh My...

All day had been one of those dark and rainy days. But, then there were these beautiful snippets of bright warm sun. Very warm for a mid-November day. Then there was the threat of severe storms and tornadoes... And I had an (almost) five year old to get to a "very important" birthday party. Well, we braved the threat and on the way, I captured this beauty from the car...

Fall...

Well, fall was here and now is nearly over. Our trees in the yard seemed to be quite uninspiring this year. But, as I explored a little further, I noticed this tiny fire red maple in the woody area of our yard.
