Fall...

My wonderful groom and I went to a fall festival hosted by our church this past weekend. It was a great gathering of folks having a great time and great food. I was a little distracted by the awesome cloud streaked sky. We had a great time!!
Today, I have kept half an eye on the system that passed through... Roaring wind, tornadoes... crazy! It's still going and there is a high risk for severe weather. People in the outlined area should be mindful of rapidly changing conditions.
Be safe and have a great day!

P.S. Incidentally, we got NO SEVERE WEATHER yesterday. It was a total Dewvoid event.

Seasonal Fog

The fog has been dense each morning, as we are entering into the fall season. I love the way the sunlight tries to pierce the fog, creating dramatic scenes on my way to the office. Don't be surprised if you pass me along the road from time to time with the camera hanging out the window capturing a breath-taking shot. Most people look at me like I have two heads. Nope... just revelling in God's creation. I do that a lot. This was the view I had the other morning, while I was leaving my neighborhood. What a great way to start the day!

Though I've been keeping an eye on Typhoon Megi over by China (I have a dear friend over there in Hong Kong - she is not worried.), my heart is usually in the Atlantic Basin with regard to tropical activity. As of the 11AM advisory, we have Tropical Storm Richard. Tropical Storm Richard is our 17th named storm of the season, and it is one that has a slight chance of hitting the U.S. The models are sort of all over the place with him, but the general consensus is that he will strengthen. Time will tell. Keep an eye on him if you live near water... how's that?

Have a bright sunshine-y day!

More fulfilling adventures with God and my groom

My wonderful groom and I have something beautifully special. We both see the world around us as a blessing from God, and we are intent on enjoying that gift. When the weather is perfect like it’s been (well, except for the lack of real weather, but… you know what I mean), we love to get out into creation and see it. So many people walk through life without ever “seeing” what God has placed all around them to enjoy. My wonderful groom and I seized the opportunity during our lunch excursion yesterday. We love to explore roads we’ve never been on before. Yesterday, we found a little dirt road off the main road and took it. We ended up on a beautiful oak and moss covered drive, with a scenic barn and wooden fence backdrop. It was a great setting for a yummy Macadoos, I mean Michael’s lunch. It was beautiful. It was serenity. We had a great time. Here’s what I got.
And… here’s how we played.
Just an update: possible development of Richard in the Caribbean. Keeping an eye on it.

Blue skies...

My wonderful groom and I took a wonderful butterfly flight inspired adventure over the weekend. We had a great time just chasing life and laughter. We saw so much, but here are a couple of the skies from that trip that I want to share (in light of the monotonous blue skies we've been experiencing here-I wanted to get a little creative with what's in the sky.)There was also just some nice scenery and stuff to enjoy along the way. Here are a couple of my favorites.
I'd talk about weather, but I don't want to get people all riled up about nothing. The once strong little Hurricane Paula is now just a tropical storm over Cuba... no worries, Florida.

Have a brilliant day!

Going wild!

After a complete deluge from the remnants of Tropical Storm Nicole, we have experienced nothing but strikingly blue skies and cooler temperatures, which has been nice for getting us into the fall mood. Having lived in the far south for a long time though, I know better than to get too accustomed to the cooler weather. I know that we will get another heat blast, it's just a matter of when. As the weather has been so delightful, my wonderful groom and I went to the local amusement park and had a great time exploring there.That's what inspired my sky watch shot this week. This is not me or anyone I know, but I loved capturing the shot, and I am anxious to catch Mini-Dew doing this... it's her favorite thing to do, my little dare-devil child. Speaking of... she is on the last car here.Then, of course, I went to play with the animals in the petting zoo. I don't know what it is, but I feel right at home there.Have a great day!!

P.S. We do have Subtropical Storm Otto... not expected to impact us, so I don't really feel like talking about him much... though, we did have tornadoes in Arizona yesterday... the annual average in one day! Rare!
