The first photo is of the sky when we were driving back home one day. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a stormy sky look so BLUE before! Seemed like there was a bright vortex in the middle of it even. The second shot is of a tree trunk that got ripped away from its roots during the flood a number of years ago. Since then years of rain and then intense sun have decomposed the trunk further, cracking it wide open. (You can see more detail in the larger image.)
