Picture of the Day - June 29, 2009

Remember Winter?

Photographer wishes to remain anonymous.                (Click on the photo for a larger view) Those of us north of the equator will be heading into the hottest part of the summer before long, and even though June hasn't yet made way for July the daytime temps here in southwestern Virginia are already topping out at around 90 degrees Fahrenheit. With that in mind, I thought it might be a good time to take a look back on what many of us had to endure over the winter. Think of it as sort of a "reality check" for those times when we'll inevitably be complaining about the "oppressive heat" in the coming days and weeks. Remember when massive ice storms and below-freezing temps dominated the nightly newscasts for several days back in the winter? Well here is a little reminder just in case you have already forgotten. There is a certain beauty to be found in almost any kind of weather scene, and God has a real knack for painting masterpieces for us all to enjoy, even during the roughest of times. Enjoy!     Name: Phyllis Helton Town: Bristol, VA Good one Rick. Thank you Gordon and Ron for your kind comments about me under yesterday's picture. I thought only Rick and Cheria knew I had to have my photo-fix daily. I so enjoy all your efforts. They are wonderful.     Comment on today's picture  |  View previous "Pictures Of The Day"  |  Submit a photo Why I publish the "Picture Of The Day"
