Oklahoma weather is so weird. It could seriously be like this one minute...

...and this the next.

A few days ago it was raining pretty heavily and thundering while sunny outside - there wasn't a dark cloud in sight. We've been having a lot of those freak showers lately. 

But when the weather is like that, it makes for some amazing things, though. Yesterday we were at a pool party, when all of a sudden we spotted a multicolored cloud. I'm not talking about the colored clouds at sunsets and sunrises. I'm talking about a cloud that looked like it was a rolled up rainbow. It was amazing. I've never seen anything like that in my life. It looked like a dove, and uncannily like how I envision the Holy Spirit to look. It totally felt like we were in God's presence. Unfortunately, I couldn't take any pictures of it, as I forgot my camera at a friend's house and my point and shoot was at home charging. Can you believe that I actually FORGOT my beautiful D3000?! I was pretty mad at myself. I had to go a whole two days without it (I'm getting it back today). Sniff sniff. I can't wait to be reunited.

I digress.

But as crazy as the weather is here, I love it. I mean, where else does the tornado siren go off three times in two weeks?! ;)

Is there anything special about the weather where you live that you love?

Is there 

anything better 

than peaches, photography, 

and a precious girl named MeMe? 

I think not.

1. Last night went to another concert...this time it was music of the Beatles :) 

I saw this adorable girl with (I presume) her grandfather...I couldn't resist taking a picture. 

2. We've had lots of gorgeous sunsets recently. Absolutely stunning. 

And of course I can't miss getting my favorite thing...bokeh. :)

3. As if you haven't had enough flower overload...here's some more.

Hehe.

4. There are only ELEVEN days left until my youth trip to Nashville! I am insanely excited. (I can't wait to see you, Em!!!!)

5. Here's a sneak peek of a photo shoot I did with MeMe and some peaches yesterday...

Thanks for being so cooperative, MeMe :)
