Four Years And Counting...

We finally got rain and a lot of it! The storms that visited us this last weekend were doozies. Although it didn't wipe out the dry conditions of our state it's a really good first step. Looks like we got close to four inches here at the ranch and the wind was intense. It howled for an entire day and night as well as blew the torrential rain sideways. I understand the storm has moved east and is now creating havoc across the US. Hoping things are okay in your hood...

Yesterday after chores and between rain drops I went and walked our property. Sadly we lost an old oak in the storm. I'm guessing it was around 40 or 50 years old but all in all we fared well.  Here are a couple shots from my walk.
This is my neighbors pasture that sits caddy corner to ours and can you believe it... I found another heart in the sky...!!! What are the odds of capturing two gigantic heart shaped clouds in a matter days? Amazing. Do you see it? It's in the center of the photo.

I was so excited for the rain and prepping for it last week that I forgot to mention that Friday marked the fourth year of this lil blog of mine.
I wanted to celebrate and thank you by giving away a signed 8 x 12 metal infused print of the shot above.

  7. I didn't realise you were having such dry conditions in the USA. All we here about here is about the snow storms ravenging the north. Your images look so much like our wheatbelt country. I hope the rain has helped. We are having a very dry summer here. Have a great week, and thank you for stopping by my blog. It was great to hear from someone who has done a 365 challenge!
