The best of times...

I needed a break the other day...and so we went for a ride in the evening. Joseph seemed to know just what I needed, and we went to the tower overlooking Cooley Lake--or after this summer's drought, Cooley NO Lake. Still the view was wonderful and the evening cool and breezy...

He brought my folding stool and I used a big bulldog clip to hold my pages against the wind...this is as far as I got...

I took a quick shot of the clouds as we were leaving--but I could either get the clouds or the trees, not really both, because of the strange exposure...

I tweaked it a bit when we got home, to show the rain at left and add a few branches...a record of a truly delightful evening.
