Anna said...

Hi Lisa,
Enjoying this striking beauty today! For me it is sunshine on an epic blizzard day!
Hope your day is less stormy :)

Tricia @ Bluff Area Daily said...

Hi Lisa,

Yes, we had tornadoes close by this morning & it was kinda scary for a bit... My eyes burn from not getting enough sleep (I value my sleep very much! LoL!) because of my NOAA radio alarming every few minutes from about midnight until I finally turned it off at 5am... I'm glad I have the radio, because it's a good thing during bad weather, but they repeat watches & warnings too much! =0

I hear people are trapped in houses in Branson on the southwest side of Missouri & one person has died there... so we're lucky!

Thanks so much for thinking & asking about me, you're so sweet!

minor said...

It is stunning beautiful. The black background is very very effective.

Georgianna said...
