What’s Up?

Back to town!

I’m back to Georgia. I drove from Virginia yesterday and got home in the evening, I was tired and a bit angry because my trip stretched to driving for 12 1/2 hours what should have been 10 hours. I got caught under a violent storm in route through South Carolina. There were warning of tornados in the area and it rained so much! So I was delayed because the highway traffic was extremely slow.
In Virginia I met family that I didn’t see for long time.
Although I wasn’t in Georgia I have a photo gallery for you that I shot days before I left town. Soon I’ll try to catch up with you my dear friends. Thank you! ~ H.J..

You just reminded me of something I hadn’t though about in a long time. In 2002 I was heading south through Virginia on Interstate 81 and had to drive through heavy rain. You made it unscathed through your ordeal and I through mine.

  Life is a sequence of ups and downs. The trick is to overcome the downs and make your ups better. Thank you Clare you’re sweet. 🙂

Great images, HJ, and even though you were delayed, at least you are safe. Getting caught in storms is never fun.

  You’re right my friends..it’s not fun at all, the risk factor increases a great deal. Thanks! 🙂
