THE DANCE

Another millisecond remembered here from our 1st Summer together. The Summer of 2017 brought Vera and I together on so many levels.

     This particular August night was almost 80* on the lake. I raced us out after a rogue cell that I knew would flicker it's way on into northeast OKlahoma for a little while. She didn't realize "the Dance" we'd soon encounter.....

     To the northwest of Ft. Gibson Lake here, the skies billowed with an updraft, lit frequently with it's displays of The Dance. This single-image's composition shows some of it's glory; the lake, the tower, the lightning, and even the stars behind it, coming out as it began to drift away from us. A millisecond in time, captured eternally. But even the midnight warmth had little comparison to the  Dance between us. 

     Mother Nature's dance was somewhat short and sweet compared to THE DANCE between her and I after these moments; wherever we ended up at the times. I wouldn't have to think twice, as I see it in her eyes, the way she remembers our dance under the stars, and storms..... 

                 I already know that she'll never leave.....THE DANCE ~
