Description
Devastation:
Even in the midst of our worst Storm Outbreak in History
My State has Endured a Total of 167 Tornadoes, now counting
the 10 that hit last Friday May 2, 2008. We have had at
one time 14 inches of rain in one day followed a week later
by over 12 inches of Snow, but God has Granted that there
should still be New Life where There was none. The Flowers
are from a Vine of my late wifes garden and every year
since her passing have had only diseased and rotted looking
bouquets, but this is the first time in 13 years that they look
Alive and Well and that is where I Hope this finds All of you.

Amazing collage of the devastation, must have been dreadful for you. How wonderful though that finally your late wife's flowers have bloomed. hugs Jane xx
Our weather has been SO extreme more than even normal extreme if there can be such a thing. This is a very expressive set with hope right in the middle. I am glad you were able to post them (meaning I assume you still have a house!) I can't imagine living there.... :0
Awesome shots of the twisters and the roses are gorgeous!!!!
A really excellent, poignant and incredible photo montage. Well done.

Superb hpotography of the current situatiion. I'm glad the flowers are blooming. It's been bad news across the farm states of the Midwest. River rising two blocks from my place here south of St. Louis. Hang in there, everyone. This too shall pass.
