I think that cloud was over
I think that cloud was over your place when I shot that picture, One T. Hope it didn't cause too much trouble. We had a bit of rain and an upset dog but no lasting damage. This shot is one of those moments...After the storm, much beauty.
We got a few drops of rain but that's all
Not even our "usually elusive" "local forest denizon" was upset. :)
We could use a bit more rain.
