I tried working in an hour walking the East End Park trails before a forecasted storm.
The sky was partly cloudy as I neared the lake.
An image from close to the ground looking toward the lake.
Cloud reflections on the water.
This image of the sky and clouds reflecting off the water is deceptive because dark clouds were already beginning to build up behind me.
By the time I reach the park parking lot I was soaked. (December 29, 20022) — Images by kenne
