I took these at the end of July, on my way back to Ocala after spending the month with my momma. I was driving down 27, headed north, and the sky just...well...lit up like it was on fire. I had to get some shots of it. the last one is doctored - I removed the power lines and poles, but the others are completely untouched.

Aren't they beautiful? )

Awesome, huh?

    They - whoever they are - say you should never google yourself. You'll just get to read all the bad shit people never say to your face. True. But every now and again, I do it. and most of the time, what I find is nice. There's been a couple of times when there's been something negative or a bad review or whatever. But that's cool. but overwhelmingly, the stuff I find about myself is pretty good.

    This is what I found today. It's on the 'not so good' end of the spectrum. Someone's pithy review of my [info]mcshep_match story. How awesome is this?

    "Wow, it took over 15,000 words just for John to realise his feelings for Rodney? This was just bad. The plot was cliched and felt really contrived. It rambled on and on and then ended with a deus ex machina. It would be one thing if what happened actually made sense, but it didn't. It was obvious every step of the way that the only reason for anything happening was that the author wanted to get John and Rodney together. Which...if you're going to involve a mysterious planet's technology and some game that intruders are forced to play just isn't enough. The planet's inhabitants need actual motives as well. Plus the dialogue throughout was just really off."


    Ahhhh. I have arrived.
