Storm Coming In

Ah the power of a good April storm...

The evergreens on the hill are silhouetted against scudding clouds, and the wind dances around in circles, raising spiraling clouds of last year's fallen leaves. The air is full of fresh tangy fragrance with ozone edgings. There is a brief interval of stillness and silence, then the torrential rains come pelting down.

If one entertains any doubt whatsoever about the mojo of the Old Wild Mother and the dazzling power of the elements on this little blue world, they are swiftly cleansed by a good storm in April.

She also came by our house a few days ago with her lightning whip riding that long maned horse.

What a compelling photo.
A dark storm came here bringing a tyrant wind and left us today with blue sky, sun and billowy clouds.
Your photo is so beautiful - I could almost welcome such a storm
