sigh..

Still not here. I checked my order status. It was shipped. It was supposed to arrive on June 14, 2005. I will give it one more day.

While I wait, what do you want to see a picture of? I have decided the first photo I am going to post is going to be of the view from my desk at work. I look out onto the busiest street in town and on the other side of it is a gas bar, grocery store and large hotel/restaurant/bar thingie, all with either apartment buildings or trailer courts peeking out from behind.

But it is so damn green right now. All this rain has made the earth spew green. I love June green. It is my second favorite colour. My favorite being the contrast of that same green against a dark foreboding thunderstorm skyline. Something like this:

thunder green 2


or this:

I just love all the raw power in scenes like these. I always thought I would grow up to be a storm chaser. It would be an awesome holiday, chasing storms across the countryside.

While driving home from Js parents cabin two summers ago we saw clouds like that second photo and man, it was soooo scary. They were so incredibly low, moving so incredibly fast. As scary as it was, it was also very cool to see something like that, like you said, the raw power of it was astounding. Then we drove past a pasture with a dozen horses in it and they were freaking out. Suddenly I was very very afraid. Something about seeing those horse afraid made me feel more freaked out than anything else.
