Telling tales from around the world
It bucketed for most of the afternoon, pounding, driving rain, with the trees whipping a bit of wind howling, so dark at noon it seemed it must be sundown. In the middle of the day, this was a six second exposure with no filters.
Yeah, these are trees in my back garden, taken through my office window. Is it just me, or does that tree look really really angry? Is it… a monster???
Thirteen used to be my lucky lucky number, ever since I was 7 and put a dime on the wheel at a church bazaar and it won - and I walked away with a cool $1.30 which was a considerable amount when you think a Nestlé's Crunch Bar cost five cents.
But I've got to rethink it... this year's been crap - troubles, illness, heartbreak... I'm half thinking those half-crazed Mayans might have been half right - though I don't half know about what.
Taking suggestions for sure-fire cures for angst, ennui, hospital stays, strict diets and other people. And any other good advice is always welcome.
Didn't get the palomino I was hoping for in 2012, definitely no Nestle's Crunch in 2013. What do I want from this year??? From the OTHER half of this year...

It does look angry! No tree shepherds around, I guess… Is your house ok? A very cool picture!

We all survived… the tree is a bit calmer, but it really is a grumpy old thing!

Love this, as I do all things storm and tree related.

You’d be in heaven (rangi) here this winter!
