The calm before the storm...

I was sitting out in the backyard on my swing just thinking about things and how crappy things have been going this past week. Then it hit me and the birds are so loud. I have never heard them this loud before. So I decided to get the camera out and go down to the beach front a mile away from my house. So I snapped a couple of pictures and made my way back to the house. The tide is up and the clouds are getting thicker. The Lighthouse you see is right outside the neighborhood.
