'Twas a Dark and Stormy Day...

My 11th grade English teacher told us NEVER to start a sentence/story with that phrase (allow me to give a shout out to one of the BEST teachers EVER- Ms. Fannett!). She said it was way too common and not very descriptive. A better way to say it was something like this:

 ..."the rain started as a wimpy pitter that morning and turned into a menacing pelt as the wind whipped the trees into a frenzied dance. It was so dark even the bravest of squirrels cowered in their trees, waiting for one, just one ray of light to peek through the charcoal colored rain clouds that blanked the sky with their inky vapor."

Not bad, eh Ms. Fannett?

In photography terms, I had to CRANK the ISO up to try to capture some of that light, and ended up with these.

Love.

Love these too. Captured the next day when the light came out to play.
