Cloud sampler
I shot these photos on the afternoon of January 12, after the last of a series of storms blew through our area. All were taken as the Big Guy and I walked roughly half a mile from the house to a nearby store.

The theme for Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge this week is Old and New. You can have old and new objects in the same photo.
