Rain storm...

Saturday, 1 Aug 2009 | Views [162]

I watched a rain storm as it worked its way across the Sea of China while I waited for Brandon to get off work the other day.  It looked really neat!  I've seen storms off in the distance before, but never one that looked quite like this.  Fun! ---Arielle ... Read more >
