Very dramatic out there with the wide open landscape.

I don’t remember having seen a virga before, or even to look out for one!

By the way, I nominated your blog for a Liebster Award, since I enjoy it so much: http://franklinchen.com/blog/2012/01/29/liebster-blog-award-5-blogs-you-should-check-out/
