Tornado Watch

Tanglewood awoke to dark, ominous skies this morning with gusting winds. Definitely no pickleball or swimming on the agenda today. Buddy and I went for our morning stroll and saw several people taking down their awnings and storing outside things away. Local TV weather issued a tornando watch until about 2 pm, so I decided to take down our awnings and store everything. I even took my bike apart and put it in the back of the Vue. No point in leaving it outside to get soaked. The skies opened up around 10 am and it basically rained steady until mid afternoon. Buddy and I hunkered down and watched the local weather but thankfully, no actual tornados were reported.

While inside and cooped up, I took some pictures of Buddy at 6400 ISO with my new camera, just to see how the higher ISO settings worked. I think this shot worked out pretty well, all things considered. No flash was used, available light only.
