afternoon by the pond

 

It had that late-July feel of a slightly muggy, very warm day with air faintly stirred by a hot, puffy wind. The weather said there was a thirty percent chance of rain, but the sky leaned more toward fifty. We ate, we laughed, we talked, we enjoyed. I took pictures. For a good two or three hours we were undisturbed, until the wind rose and the clouds moved faster and we had to pack our picnic up. It’s a good thing we did, because about 5:00pm the skies opened up, and we had one of those midsummer-like thunderstorms with rain coming down in sheets as only Florida can produce. It was a good day. :)
