Laredo and back

We took a road trip over to Laredo this weekend, providing a few laborers for a carne asada sale with our friends at Iglesia La Vid. My driver, he doesn't like to stop much, though he does it more now than he did when we began taking road trips together 25 years ago. So, I take pictures out the window.  I kind of like the way the motion shows up every once in a while...

I love taking pictures of the Texas sky, clouds lining the horizon, puffs and wisps across the expanse of blue. It rained, thunderstormed, as we drove east this weekend, something we haven't seen much of around here recently. We saw lightning streak downward ahead, but that's pretty tough shot to catch. And after the rain, we saw the brilliant hues that come as the earth soaks in the moisture and the sun breaks through the darkness once again.

It felt good to be shooting again...
