Poise ...
Minutes before
a storm ...
_______________

First of this
lovely bird in
my BF-Gallery ...

It was in the evening
on that day ...
... 5 pm ...

As we were taking
this image ... a big
dust-storm brewed
across
western-horizon ...

We saw the storm-front
moving in
fast toward us ... and
in less than then ten
minutes it hit us
as we ran to the safety
of our vehicle ...
parked in a field
about a kilometer
away ... barely able
to save our
equipment ...

Rain started lashing
and it became quite
dark ...
