A storm is coming.

It took a bit to come. We had a picnic and the girls found a fort amongst the trees. There was even time for a little pondering.

And The Lake changed colors.

In between rain showers, I would look for wildflowers to photograph.

(Late-July is a great time to find wildflowers at Crater Lake.)

Just as quickly as it came, the storm passed by, and it was time for stops and photo-ops.

It was a fun summer. A whirlwind. A tempest, at times. But fun, all the same.

Happy Friday. Happy Fall.
