Image Details:

I was caught off guard-- Inside resting sitting down watching TV as it was near 100 degrees earlier today. I worked outside in the yard mowing and pulling weeds and repotting plants. I walked outside to look at the sky and could hear the rumble of a thunderstorm like a train. Some things in life like images last only seconds and allow us no time to plan for them, no matter how hard we try.
