There is Hope

Here in the Midwest, we have been in a drought. 

You may have heard.

It has been a long summer in terms of the heat and lack of rain, 

especially for the farmers, who have lost so many crops. 

Keep in mind, this is August, not October. The corn should not look like this.

But, as they say, "Absence makes the heart grow fonder". This is especially true for someone like me, who gets a little thrill from shooting a beautiful sky. This last couple weeks, have have had beautiful clouds and even some rain. Hooray!

And you know I had to race out there with my camera at the first sign.

I could not possibly post all the shots I have taken of the beautiful skies around here, but here is a little taste.

 You know there will be more, because I just can't get enough.

I love how the grass "wakes up" at the slightest bit of moisture. It is beautiful.

And at the end of the beautiful skies and the big, fat drops, we are left with a little bit of hope.

Have a beautiful day!
