These pictures were taken off a side road in Winona MO. I love the sweeping cloud base. These pictures are from 2012. I still have a ton of pictures to get off another memory card and organize.

This week, they are having a Seed Swap and a Giveaway (ends Sunday night!) Winners will be announced during their Sunday Livestream (7 p.m. EST)
