The Clouds Lift

Tuesday was a typical late-winter Texas day. The high temperatures, maybe 60 degrees, came early. From there, the remnants of the rain that came on Monday night and the early hours of Tuesday remained, with a heavy layer of clouds and very high winds. Temperatures dropped 15 degrees. By a little before 6:00 p.m. Tuesday, however, the skies parted, just a bit, ushering in some nice, sweet light. These are photos from areas you’ve seen before, East Williamson County, Texas. The opening photo, of course, is Prince of Peace Lutheran Church, atop its hill in Wuthrich Hill. The last image presented is also the church, but a few minutes later, when the pale green light graced its facade. Simply stated, Texas is beautiful.
