The first storm of the season is usually the one remembered the easiest. How true for our first storm of the “winter” that arrived on Oct 22.
It was such a beautiful morning as the big clouds in the south were confronted with even bigger darker clouds from the north. I was busily shooting pictures of the amazing sunrise,which was delayed because of the clouds. I would take a few, put them on the computer, then see how it was even better, and take a few more.
As I was just about to send some out to share with Steve, I heard a noise out back. Looking out, it seemed that the tree at the side of the driveway was lower than it should be. I came back to the computer, but it was off. Oh no, no power.
Now 2 and a half days later, after many calls to power companies, electric service companies, handymen, and landlords, we have power again. What a difference those electrons make! Steve tended to use all the dark time to sleep, but I wasn’t sleepy, and had to find things to do that didn’t require power. It was interesting, but I found that I’m used to having power and mostly need it to do my computer stuff.
Time to catch up to the rest of the world. Here are the pictures I was going to send to Steve.
And one of the tree in the driveway.
That same cold front rolled through the Houston area with a roar. Lots of wind, rain, and clouds. You’ve nabbed some impressive shots of the stormy clouds of change.
These are awesome images and very spiritual for me. I can look at these for a long time and never tire of the texture, color, shape and mood. Carolyn
Hey Carolyn! Glad you like the pictures. I could make you a calendar or something if you’re interested… let me know.
nothing is more awsome than God’s cloud displays-makes ya think BIG- great shots, Steve.
Gary, makes me think that you didn’t read the page! Steve didn’t take those pictures, I did.
Carolyn (and anyone else interested),
We’ve got the calendar all ready to go. Go take a look: Clouds Calendar
