So far this year, I had not found myself on Piney Woods Church Road shortly before a storm. It is not that I hadn’t hoped for this; rather, my dislike for lightning is greater than my desire for a dramatic image. Today, though, I was walking with a neighbor down the road, feeling uninspired, when the dark sky of an impending storm practically demanded to be photographed. The result is this pastoral scene, complete with blooming crepe myrtle, just a couple of minutes before the storm hit. (I had just enough time to race home along a neighbor’s pasture fence and through the woods.)
