Rain, Rain Go Away

We had some serious rain here today. Over the last few days, the lake has been extremely choppy. In fact, last night during my swim I was tossed around quite a bit by waves. This morning, however, the water was super smooth. I was so excited at around 10:00 to go out and swim. Mother Nature had other ideas. It thundered and then dumped rain for the next 5 hours.

After the worst of it, I was able to get out and swim. It was a little rainy, but that didn't matter - I was already wet.

Tonight, the sky lit up with beautiful hues of orange and pink. My attempt to capture some of the colors falls short.My favorite dock
