Silver Lining

A silver lining, there always seems to be one, often where you least expect it, kind of like the brilliant sunlight poking through these clouds.

Fire In the Sky

Storm watching is a front porch activity around here. People don't get too excited until a funnel actually touches the ground. This part of the country is often referred to as tornado alley, and it's a well-earned name. In fact, my first published photograph was of a tornado taken from my grandparents' front yard, when I was 15, as my grandfather looked on.

Today as the clouds moved in and the temperature dropped, I found a good spot and settled in my grandparents' yard. And waited.
