    Oh my word, what a stunner Blair. It looks like Heaven to me…..beautiful

  • Blair Wainman replied

    Thank you Lyn! There’s a story behind this shot. I was on an outing on Thursday with friends when their car broke down and we were stuck in this horrendous heat waiting for repairs when this cloud came up and provided some relief…sometimes clouds can be a hidden blessing…but then this is what came along with the cloud. it was amazing!

    oh my goodness, how amazing is that! Just when you needed it. You could say Someone was looking out for you in the heat,,,,,,,,,,,,

  • Blair Wainman replied

    Thank you Vickie! Yes, I would say that too! It was a very strange day and a half. We still don’t know why the axle came out of the transmission and even after they fixed it it came out two times more and it was so hot…we never made it to our destination but we did make it back home Somehow we weren’t suppose to go. But this cloud was such a relief…helped save from a worse sunburn! Lol!
