And Hurricane Earl came... and fizzled out

While I'm grateful we didn't get nailed, we could have used the rain. Darn. Here are some photos. We had hot and humid and icky weather, so Earl did at least clear out the bad air. Here's a local reservoir.



And a dragonfly, which turned out pretty good considering I shot it at high noon and the little insect couldn't sit still for more than five seconds.



 Went to a local (well, semi-local) beach to see what kind of waves there would be. Not too bad, but wow, was it windy!!

 









And here's a video, where you really hear the windy whipping by... Looks pretty good on HD (720 choice):

And that's it

Thank goodness you had no damage from Earl but I understand about need for rain. I live in Kentucky and many days have passed since we received more than a few drops of rain. I noticed on Sunday, the top branches of a huge dogwood tree in my parents back yard were withered. If this continues, we are in for a horrible fire season this Fall. I think we need a rain dance.

Fabulous pictures, I love the last one, the colors are beautiful.

Take care, hope you get a some rain!

Yeah, reservoirs are getting low, which isn't good. Lawn is mostly green, due to uh, weeds ;)
