All film so far! The collective has not assimilated digital yet.

Your problem is that you were in Illinois. ;^)
Thanks for looking just the same! I think that approaching storm photo was
shot around the middle of June, so the corn was just getting
started. Corn's big now but I'm not sure how well it's doing this
year. It likes rotten, hot, and humid weather. It's been too pleasant
here most of the summer. I'm on vacation right now and had been kicking
myself that we hadn't worked out travel plans ahead of all the kids' camps
and activities. Now I'm feeling mighty smug about it.
