A snapshot !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"For the moon never beams, without bringing me dreams Of the beautiful Annabel Lee; And the stars never rise, but I feel the bright eyes Of the beautiful Annabel Lee; And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side Of my darling—my darling—my life and my bride, In her sepulchre there by the sea— In her tomb by the sounding sea." POE

Sorry everyone about the double posting:(

It rained so hard this morning, I had to shoot this one through the glass in the backdoor. The rain lasted for awhile and caused flooding in low-lying areas around town, causing the fire department to have to "retrieve" stranded motorists. Some cars had water halfway up the doors.

More tropics! :-)

It's car show season!
