Uploaded: April 02, 2004 05:26:09
Taken on a gorgeous day in Westville, OK! F5.6, 200 ISO, 1/500 sec, using my monopod. I hope you all like this one, because I broke out in hives from whatever I was standing in to get this shot! LOL!

Beautiful! Makes me miss Oklahoma at this time of year! Love the shot. But, maybe the hives are from thinking too hard about that rock the other day? :) -K #459680Carolyn M. Fletcher April 02, 2004

This is beautiful Dale Ann! I live in OK. So tell me, how long did it take for the weather to change? Ha!Dale Ann Cubbage April 02, 2004
Thanks so much Susan, Stephen & Jessica! I really appreciate your comments!Jessica, what part of Oklahoma do you live? And as you know, it didn't take long!

Hi Dale Ann.Dale Ann Cubbage April 02, 2004
Jessica, I've never been there, but I've seen the sign on our way to Ok City with our youth group. I'm actually from Kansas City, I've been here for 4 1/2 years. Small town America has it's advantages, and it does grow on you!da #459983
Alisha May Furbish April 02, 2004
Beautiful vast space pulled together by the tree and clouds- very peaceful photo, great work- Calamine lotion should be in every photographer's bag:) #459992Dale Ann Cubbage April 02, 2004
Thanks Alisha! Yeah I learned that the hard way, twice! Yesterday I rested my arm on a metal/painted fence and broke out in some itchy weird rash! I washed it and put some Aveeno on it, and it eventually went away! I think I need to carry some bug spray too, I'm so phobic of bugs! But I've been trying to ignore them for the photo op!Karen Bacon April 02, 2004

Congratulations - I love this, that beautiful sky!! Does the weather change frequently in OK? It does in Melbourne too - have to dress in layers as you don't know what the weather will be like in a couple of hours!! Temperatures can halve in 12 mins from stinking hot to raining and cold!! You deserve to be a finalist - fingers crossed for you to get a placing...good luck. #543807Dale Ann Cubbage May 16, 2004
Thanks so much Amanda! I appreciate it! Yes, the weather can be very moody here! Yesterday it was cool, so we wore long sleeves and three hours later we were sweating! You never know!da #544121
