Heavy Weather
I’ve hardly time to write. Gotta get to the storm shelter before the weather gets nasty. Why is it that so many of the storms in the past year have taken on the appearance of a hurricane over land? I used to mainly focus on the radar images of my local region, but since finding the beautiful and informative national loop at NOAA’s web site, I have gotten a much better perspective of the bigger picture. Maybe it has always been this way and I just haven’t seen it. Or maybe it is different, and the climate is actually changing. Either way, I sure love being able to see the national radar image all at once.
‘Nother Tree
Check out this one. This is in the yard of a house down the street from us. Some days when I drive past, it looks like it is plugged into some source of illuminating electricity. The vibrancy jumps out from the muted background of everything around it. I don’t think it ever changes its hue. In the spring when it sprouts leaves, I get the impression the brilliant color is because the leaves are new. When I notice the fluorescent glow again in the middle of summer, I catch myself wondering if the tree thinks autumn is already here. After passing it repeatedly through all seasons, it begins to dawn on me that it always displays this day-glow color. I think of it as a gift from the owners of that property, allowing us to continually witness the extraordinary resplendence, and it brings a smile, every time I drive past.
A Tree
I love trees. This one had a shape that appealed to me. I was somewhat immobilized in a comfortable chair and looked up to see this wonderful specimen displayed, front and center, in my field of view. I took a couple of shots to see if I could capture all of it with my little point-and-shoot camera without changing my vantage point. Got everything except the trunk. Does anyone other than the people hosting us at the time, recognize this beauty and know exactly where I was sitting? There are a small number of potential readers who just might. For the rest of you, take a moment to lose yourself in all the things to see within this image.
