Ann-Christine asks us for images that set a mood. I haven’t had much time to focus on the challenge this week so my post will be brief.
Two weeks ago we had no power or water after Hurricane Helene brought rain and extremely strong winds overnight. I am grateful that we are safe and only had minor damage to our home.
The three cabbage palms in these images have withstood multiple hurricanes and tropical storms for over 40 years. Both of these images were taken two or three days after Helene passed us by. To me, both of these images portray a calm and serene mood.

I am grateful we are safe and our house is fine. My prayers go out to all of those who were affected by Helene and by Milton. So many had it much worse that we did. I am grateful to all of the volunteers who are helping those in need and to all of the electric company linemen who are working tirelessly to restore power.
Many thanks to our host Ann-Christine for the challenge Lens-Artists #319 – Setting a Mood
