the big storm(s)

The weather channel online referred to the current series of storms as “the big storm”. It has been pretty wild in some places. So far here, a lot of wind, periods of heavy rain, a bit of thunder and lightning, but the clouds have been spectacular and provided for a dramatic sunset Friday evening when the first front had passed.

We took a walk in the calm AFTER the [first] storm…

Departing Storm

The cloud line in the departing front was lit in soft pastels by the setting sun.

OH Fields

The fields and grass looked 10 times greener after the rain in the early evening light. This part of Ohio is wheat-corn-soybean rotation. The fields that are green now are wheat – planted last fall.

And the grand finale – a fiery sunset…
