Lightning and the Wind

Hello everyone and welcome to my photography blog, I appreciate you taking a moment to check it out.  Please be sure to subscribe to my blog, share it (FB and twitter icons at the bottom of the post), and comment on posts; I always enjoy hearing your thoughts.  On this blog I will be doing two things: sharing photos I take throughout my adventures and in everyday life while also giving helpful tips on what I do to capture the shots.  If you have a question about a blog I've posted or simply want to say hello, check out the Contact Me tab on this website.  If you decide one of my photos is a wall hanger be sure to check out the Order Prints tab!

My parents (especially my dad) enjoy Native American history.  I recently read this story and thought it would be fitting to go with the photo highlighted on this blog entry.

There's an old Apache wise tale that speaks of a time the Wind and Lightning got in an argument about which one is more powerful and does the most good on Earth.  This upset the Wind and so he hid from the Earth.  The Earth dried and received no rain causing great heat and suffering.  Lightning sent hawks and bees to find the Wind.   Bees found the Wind in a distant region where they begged the Wind to come back.  The Wind agreed and four days later met with Earth and Lightning on a high peak.  The Wind agreed to return from hiding so Wind and Lightning used their power to fill the Earth with green grass and water once again and created the four seasons.  Lightning and Wind made a pact to never disagree again.

I feel like that wise tale is a great story to apply to everyday life.  Bosses and employee's must work as a unit to achieve a common goal.  In marriage you must find a harmony at home and in life.  Relationships of all sorts require a balance of responsibility to one another.

I hope you enjoy the photo!  Be sure to share this blog and comment on the post.
