A quick glance at the sky confirms that more rain is on the way. I sure wouldn’t want Mother Nature’s water bill these days. I just took a short stroll … got up later expecting to see and hear torrential rains and rockin’ and rollin’ thunderstorms respectively, but our Tuesday weather, thus far, has been tame. The threatened severe weather did not materialize last night and the only booms and lightshow in the sky were the result of the fireworks on the Detroit River. Last night I was working on a document for work and finished up at 10:00 p.m. so I hopped on Click on Detroit to watch the extravaganza with the “sunshine” theme. Wow!! I enjoyed the fireworks immensely, but I still think I’ll watch them from afar on my computer screen rather than in person. I took this picture at Bishop Park early on Sunday morning. It was overcast from the recent rain and dark gray streaks were still prevalent in the sky. Well, I’m no Ansel Adams, but I thought it would be fun to tweak the picture to a black-and-white format to really highlight that angry-looking sky hovering over the trees with the pier in the foreground. I’ll close this post by this awesome quote by the aforementioned B&W photographer Adams: “Sometimes I arrive just when God’s ready to have someone click the shutter.”
