The need to get out and explore hit again this one day, but it struck in the late afternoon. It was partly inspired by the cool storm clouds - always the potential for good photography lighting... So out me and Zou went. Not knowing where we were going...we were just going...
A pretty barn along our route to wherever.
We found a dirt road. No idea where it went. Was kind of late and getting dark (although partly just because of the storm). Always a gamble...but usually one worth taking! The clouds pretty much closed in so no wow sunset or cool lighting, but we did have to stop a couple times and try for some lightning shots!
I LOVE lightning and thunder!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was a little worried about where we might be, just because I really didn't want to have to backtrack. That would get us home pretty late - Bill would be wondering what the heck happened to us. But those of you who truly know me know I have a bit of a wild hair, as they say... I'm sure I inherited it from my dad. So we kept going, and I kept hoping that this road would get us to something I recognized, and ultimately get us home. We were headed in the right general direction - but that could mean nothing whatsoever...! If the road petered out or took a sudden 90 degree jog, as often happens!
But, as luck would have it, we finally came to a spot I DID recognize! We wound up connecting with that road Zou and I had explored a couple of weeks earlier - right near the rock park. Phew! Bill wouldn't need to call out any search parties tonight ;) (fortunately, he knows me well enough not to do such a thing - I always come home, just maybe not in the expected time frame...).
