summer storm approaching


A difficult day yesterday, trying to balance work obligations
with family needs - 
you know the thing, guilt, frustration ... GRRRR .... SIGH

Badminton on a summer lawn, children laughing, absences forgiven.

A menacing sky that is breathtakingly beautiful.

The frustrations of the day forgotten.

  6. Spectacular!

    Is that an apple tree we see in the 3rd photo?

    What a bucolic dream your lovely spot is--and how wonderful that a dear family is pleased and happy to be its owners. A lovely symbiosis!

  9. Nothing like a good thunderstorm... assuming it's not too threatening. We've had quite a few lately.

    Bucolic countryside that you live in!

  15. Sharon, with half a week behind us and the other ahead, these images are much needed! Now if we could get some sunshine, with all the rain, we will be able to enjoy the outdoors!
    Hope your wednesday was wonderful!
