"Summer Storm Warning" epitomizes my vision of summer in Iowa. Weather conditions can change abruptly from 90 degrees to 60 as a sudden thunderstorm approaches. Rain is often a welcome relief to the livestock in the fields as heat brings out the bugs that all but impossible to completely alleviate. Here the horses are getting their bellies full, switching the flies away with their tails, gladly anticipating the breeze and showers with the approaching clouds. This pasture scene is a common landscape here in Iowa and always fills me with a sense of peace, calm, and all that is right in the world. The animals always seem to know that come what may, this too shall pass. Pairs well with "Iowa Storm Warning." "For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." 2 Corinthians 4:17-18
