I guess since I am posting this everyone will figure out that I am ok. Sadly there was loss of life in the 26 tornados that came through Oklahoma yesterday and alot of people are without homes now. It will take along time to rebuild again but if there is one thing that can be said about Okies and that is we are tough and will rebuild again and go on with our lives. I had had enough of being cooped up yesterday and had to take a picture. Something new for you guys. My wife suggested we get some shots of the clouds. I thought. I LOVE THIS WOMAN!! Well that did not happen. They came in to late and it was to dark and the storms were moving 50 miles an hour so I could not keep up anyway. What I did find was this neat little waterfall in a Christian Church camp near Tuner Falls. It was marked private property but I could see the falls right thier just inside the gate and thier were no kids in the camp so I thought " What The Heck" and went inside anyway. While I was snapping away a man did come up and ask "What are you doing?" I just kind of looked at my camera which was in plain sight and was thinking what a dumb question. Said I am taking pictures. He looks me up and down and says"Then What?" Not really knowing what he meant I said "We are going to leave" well he turned and left and I took that as a clue just to continue. This is the results. I know the water looks muddy but it is very shallow and runns pretty slowly. The falls are beautiful and this is just a little of what is to come. I hope you all enjoy it. ( By the way. 45 min after we left. A tornado come right through where we were. The church camp and I are ok)

The lighting is real good in this one BTK. It must be the calm before the storm. I am glad to hear you and your family are unscathed. Tornadoes are so devastating. We were on the fringe and it was really windy and cold.

I wish I had some falls to shoot. I want to try a slow shutter speed. I really like the way this turned out.

The reason why the sunsets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB

I'm sad to hear there was loss of life and much destruction where you live, Billy. But i'm glad you and your family came out of it okay... Tornadoes don't come here, just nor'easters and hurricanes. It must be terrifying to witness... I love this shot, it makes me think of cool refreshing places on a hot summer day. I like the mossy rocks and the way the water splashes down on them. Good one!

sorry to hear about what happened. Anyway, I'm glad you and your family are okay. In situations like this, it is good that there are people who look at the brighter side of life and who believe that life goes on no matter what.

About the picture, it is very nice and well done.
