<p>After spending a frustrating afternoon trying to find a dirt road to the shot I wanted, I happened to look to the west and saw this rain squall moving across Verde Valley. I knew it was going to fade out rapidly, so I parked quickly on the side of the hill, grabbed the camera out of the back of the truck and fired off a couple of fast shots. That was when the lightning strike hit about a half-mile to the north, and I got out of there...</p><div></div>

<p>Nice jellies, Andy.</p>

<p>No worthwhile photography this week, so here are some shots from my EOS 1v that I bought this time last year.</p>

<p>The vast stillness on this morning, just outside Pennsburg, PA, was in stark contrast to the senseless violence the day before that rocked our little town.</p><div></div>

<p>David Stephens--the picture of the coyote is great! Looks like a friendly dog...:-)<br>

Thanks!<br>

<p>Just now - as close to a "white Xmas" as we're likely to get here, I'm afraid</p><div></div>

<p>Laura, I hope your generation outlives these times. </p><div></div>

I hope we all do. It doesn't matter where the violence happens, Pennsburg or Pakistan, one sometimes feels like Billy Kwan typing, "What then must we do?" Many go in with a camera and skillfully address the situation. I lack that ability, but I think we all share a common empathy with those directly impacted. I think we all want it to end.</p>

<p>Even a fire breathing dragon needs to keep his neck warm in winter.</p><div></div>

<p>Agreed Laura,if we can find a way. To keep with Thursday,a second photo of life enduring,no flourishing! </p><div></div>
