Midwest Nature

Coming from the land of severe drought, it was refreshing to spend a few days in the humidity and rain in Iowa. While there we probably had around 2 inches of rain with thunderstorms that came and went.

At the Art Festival, we managed to eat our lunch during one of the downpours. H and I had a pretty good spot under the tent, but G was at the end of the tent and had a steady stream down her back. Yuck. She needed this guy with his two umbrellas protecting his wife while she ate.


I love looking at the thistles by the road.


Dramatic skies


Here is a little video of a cicada that got caught in the water at the Art Center. Listen to the sounds of the other 17-year cicadas in the background. I love that sound.
