Storm At Lulu’s Crossing

Every day we are flooded with rain, stifled by great heat and humidity, everybody is talking about the weather, wondering when it will end, crops are flooded, rivers are overflowing their banks, every evening around dusk the most beautiful, angry and explosive clouds roll in over the hills bearing thunder, lightning and heavy rain and wind. Every night I grab the camera, put a plastic bag over it, walk into the pasture or down the road for a view of the sky and this great and almost Biblical storm is waiting for me,  heading for me. Dark clouds and silver linings.

Mother Earth’s Lullaby

Every night for the past few weeks, Mother Earth has sung a lullaby for me, sending a storm at the end of the day, painting an awful and beautiful portrait in the sky. I always feel she is speaking to me, sending me a message, singing a mournful but touching song. Across the road, I saw the storm approaching, I saw it moving to kiss the sun goodbye, and I ran out with my camera.
