Adventures with Tommy

Today Tommy and I set out for something to do. For awhile we drove around aimlessly looking for cameras stores. (We found another Ritz North on 41, and realized that one was closed as well. Its scary to actually visualize what the economy is doing to us). After giving up, we went out to lunch and set out for an adventure. We drove past this preserve, and to our amazement was free, pretty big, and full of nature and wild life. We waited out the rain for a little while before our hike in bug infested acres (FYI: don't ever venture out after a humid rain, this is a bugs feast). On our trail we came across tortoises, pretty wild flowers, and wide paths which seemed to go on for days.

It was a relaxing little trail (we took the shortest one, the thunder was a little foreshadowing). Tomorrow we plan to set out again, maybe for a canoe ride.

Love,
Kèra

More of the Storm

A couple days ago I posted pictures of my favorite couple which featured stormy skies and crystal blue waters. I wanted to show you what kind of a monster that storm developed into when we were finished with the photo shoot. We were so occupied with pictures that we hardly had time to notice what was going on behind us until I saw the rolling in of extremely dark clouds through my viewfinder.

We actually had to run. I was really becoming scared because not only was I afraid of getting struck by lightning, but I was afraid for my camera! Good thing we have luck on our side though, we made it under cover right before the downfall began. I haven't seen clouds like this in what seems like forever. I'm hoping that our drought won't last for much longer, and the summer rains will help to alleviate Mother Nature's unquenchable situation.

Love,
