Sometimes you just rummage through things. This morning I was rummaging from my LightRoom archives, going as far back as 1999! This is from 12/23/2011 using the Nikon D70, on loan from a friend, and a Tamron 28-75 lens, the first I ever bought. This was snapped in the early morning, after a bit of rain, a few days before Christmas. The edit is from this morning.
How time just flies!

Lovely!
How apropos that you should post this beautiful image this morning–it’s still raining!
Glad you like the photo, Anne! And soon we can expect 80mph winds per the front page of the local news . . . but other sources say 40. I’d go for 10!
Thanks, Fraggy!
Yuck, this weather has become a punishment for all that we’ve done wrong to our environment. I don’t do well in wind.
Anne, I agree. I used to love the wind, until it now means one thing: fire.
