Storm redux


Leaves were plastered on the windows like this, too. I was afraid the chairs would blow away, but somehow they stayed put.

My driveway

All of this is very minor compared to some place I've driven by. The road I live on has stretches where it is lined with very large old trees. A few are uprooted in every big storm, and this one was no exception. And sometimes they get hollow and then split open during a storm. It's quite a sight, but it usually also blocks traffic and wreaks havoc on the power lines.

Hee. The chairs almost seem like people sitting outside.

The pictures have a certain elemental beauty to them.
