Prelude to the Storm
Uploaded: July 25, 2009
I knew we were in for rain and wind tonight, but I had no idea just how much! It was one ferocious storm! No damage right here, but a lot in the general area.
This barn is right beside our house. In fact you can see the house and the satellite dishes on the roof. The barn was Geronimo's. It's not entirely empty now that he is gone... no horse, but several of my cats are hanging out inside!
Posting very late as usual.. I will catch up with everyone tomorrow if I have connection to the internet!

A lovely barn with circling birds...what more can we ask for? Hope you made it through the storm in good shape, Nadya. #7779732Nadya Johnson July 25, 2009
Thanks, Laura, Jennifer, Paul, Lynne, Troy, Karen, Kerry, Dominick, Brett and Michelle! #7779829Nadya Johnson July 25, 2009
Added note: The birds are barn swallows. One sort of bird you can almost NOT avoid out there, especially at dusk! Not that I would want to. There are many other types of birds but the rest it seems, are camera shy! #7780093Mike Clime July 25, 2009
Nice shot and like the lighting! The birds are a nice touch too. #7780157Kim Kleinschmidt July 25, 2009
