Saturday Snapshot: Freak Storm

Saturday Snapshot is a weekly meme hosted by Alyce at At Home With Books. The guidelines are to post a photo that you or a friend or family member have taken and then link it back to Alyce's original post for the week. Photos can be old or new and be of any subject as long as they are clean and appropriate for all eyes to see.

And one of the north at almost water level:


 Then a bonus one pointed north and evoking Robert Frost:


Happy Saturday all!
