Beginnings

Stopped off at a local reservoir early this morning on the drive to work and it was clear that the forecasted clouds and rain were starting to push in.

Regarding weather, I have always loved the following quote... "Sunshine is delicious, rain is refreshing, wind braces us up, snow is exhilarating; there is really no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather." - John Ruskin

Again, I express my continued gratitude for your views, comments, and favs!!!
