The Weekend in Black and White: UFOs

SkyWatch Friday: In between the storms
Looking through my shots I realize there has been a bit of blue making an appearance with the clouds.
I'm glad we've had a lot of rain this summer because as hot as its been the plants would have all died of thirst without it.
Even when its not raining it has been so humid it has felt like rain.
My crepe myrtle trees add some color to the sky with their reddish pink blooms.
Even with a lot of rain my flowers (other than tree blossoms) haven't done well with the extreme heat.
I like the bands of blue and white in the sky.
Makes me think of stripped blankets.
I am glad to see an end to July. Hopefully it will start to get cooler in August.

Our World Tuesday: A little over a year ago
The first three or so shots were taken while still in North Carolina but the rest were in Virginia and West Virginia.
I took so many shots on that trip that I still have many I never used on my blog, so I thought I'd use some of those now as I didn't take hardly any photos this week.
It's still so hot here that I can't get motivated to do much.
I hope after a miserably July it will cool down some in August.
Sometimes we do have a cooler August than July and I sincerely hope that will be the case this year.
These shots were take at the end of May in 2011 and it was a perfect time of the year for a road trip.
The woods were very green and full of new growth.
There were lots of mountain laurels and rhododendrons in bloom.
It was still fairly cool at night which I like.
I don't handle heat very well.
When it is cold you can always bundle up but when it's hot there are just so many clothes you can take off.
I have tried to keep my complaints to a minimum this summer because I do have air-conditioning.
The problem though is I hate feeling so housebound due to the heat.
Oh well summer will be over soon.
