PFYTF: The Coming of the Storm

I wasn't quite sure on what I was going to do with this post (and frankly I'm still not terribly sure), so I grabbed the keys and went out to chase the storm that was (and is still) bearing down on us. Armed with a camera, I set off into the great unknown.

I think when we go chasing storms with cameras we expect to come back with dark, broody pictures lined with lightning or something equally extreme.

But here is what I found: These yellow fighters were bravely continuing in all of the things that they were designed to do--

Live, and live hard.

And maybe that's why I love storms, because storms seem to bring out the best of the best. It grabs you out of your comfort zone and into the wild embrace of the world, where flowers shine bright against a deep grey sky.

And Rich Mullins pops into my head at the perfect time.


 
So if you need me, I'll be out with the last sons of thunder as we welcome the coming of the storm.

      WHAT QUOTE? The song?

      And I wish I were a fantabulicious photographer. But I'm one of those people that brings a camera and goes somewhere only for the sake of getting pictures, but ends up sitting there and just watching and soaking it in. -_- Oh well. XD

    That picture sums up the coming of a storm for me. I've spent days out by our rock watching the clouds rolling in, and beneath them were always the wildflowers bobbing, bobbing in the shock of cold wind. Yellow and green glowing in the shadow of the storm.

    Also that song. Mmm.
