Image of the Day: Dec 5, 2012

Taken June 6, 2010 on a stormy early summer afternoon.  Yesterday's weather was around 72 degrees here in Northern VA, and it made me wish we were heading into summer, instead of toward winter.  Featuring Rebecca Lawrence.  Hope you enjoy!

On Goose Creek, Sept 10, 2012

Scant days ago,
Summer, with oppressive demeanor held sway.
But the blustering storms, with gale, flash, and deluge,
have brought with them change.
Now, where tepid water flowed,
the cool rill plays across the rocks.
The breezes, no longer sultry,
tease the leaves with light fingers,
wafting lazily, and carrying with them smoke
rising from the pyre of Summer's storm borne flotsam.
And ashes, falling soft and quiet,
foreshadowing Winter's downy snow.
