Last week the wind was such a nightmare to so many people here in East Texas with all of the wildfires plaguing our corner of the state. It blew smoke everywhere, and fueled the fires that were filling many of us with fear and annoyance after so many days of this. However, the day I took these there was no smoke in my area. I walked outside and was excited to see small waves on the lake. After snatching my camera I darted across the road to my special deck I had adopted. I am very grateful that after so much headache the combo of wind + lack of rain has caused everyone, I can find some beauty in it.
Sometimes, harsh light can be your friend. This is one of those cases. It really brings out the dramatic elements I was going for with the waves and the sun.
You can totally tell how the first victim of the no rain was our water level. Generally it is so much higher.
On the way home I snapped this photo of the light through the tree branches, and then the swing outside the abandoned house. Eerie.
I love finding beauty in the simple things, don't you?
So, so pretty!! :D
