First of all, on the day after the Oklahoma City/Moore tornados, all of us should today hug our loved ones. While we live with the threat of tornados each spring and think little of it, the horror yesterday should remind us that each day is special and there is no guarantee that any of us will see tomorrow.
Here's a sample of our most recent photos. To see more, please visit us on Flickr.
