here is something that I love about thunderstorm, especially in in the afternoon light. The dark blue grey with the green and the backlight with the sun on the trees.  So when I was driving to my hometown of Aiken, SC to see my parents for the day, I just had to take these shots.  I was in the sun, and the storm was moving towards us, it was about 5:00 and the light was GEORGEOUS.

  I did endure a battle wound to take these shots....My feet are hating me, b.c I stepped on a blackberry vine that pulled under my toes in my sandels... I spent 30 minutes picking briars out of my feet.  (my daughter said, "Wow mommy, that must hurt, b.c I really cried really hard when I had 1 splinter!", at least she understood my pain:)


Here are a few rooms that may have been inspired by a storm.

Have a great weekend.

Footnote: As I write this  we are haveing an awesome afternoon shower, with my laptop unplugged of course:)

I love the elegant sophistication of a tufted, pewter sofa. I reminds me of a tailored men's suit - (and I love seeing Andrew all dressed up). The perfect neutral with a rich and luxurious feeling to it.

Overcast, rainy days are some of my very favourite - there's something that makes me feel equally cozy and productive, wanting to have a nice big cup of tea and finish a bunch of paperwork perhaps?

Either way, there's a cool solace that can be found in the multiple shades of grey...
