OK--more clouds...but I couldn't help it! I rode my bike to my women's Bible study (AKA the Bible Babes) past the reservoir between the town of Berlin and Southington. The clouds were simple magnificent. This was one of the few safe places to stop to take a few pictures. Converting the photo to B&W also converted the nature of the picture. In the original, the clouds are bright and billowing against a pleasant spring sky. One can imagine the brisk, sunny weather. B&W adds a sense of drama and a certain threatening quality. In this case, the B&W held a certain portent: by the time Bible Babes was over, it was raining, and nearby towns had had significant thunderstorms.
