| As the old saying goes..."If you don't like the weather today, just
wait until tomorrow." And as the weather changes, there is sometimes a picture
waiting to be taken. |

| Maybe it's a severe storm. Or it could be a winter scene.
Then again, it might be something odd. The possibilities are endless. |
