after the storm

We had a quick, sudden and intense storm that left huge downed trees, huge puddles, and flooded paths and roads. My children love puddles and started marching back and forth, I ran and grabbed my phone and took many pictures while they played. I love the contrast of light and color, and the sunflares. This summer has been intense, weather wise, troubling floods and fires, but children continue to play and find joy, which is comforting.
