    We had a beautiful autumn this year. I was out one day and saw a storm brewing. The clouds were very scary but beautiful.

    When I got home that day, I saw something shocking.

    This tree just missed my little car. It just would have taken a little twist or gust of wind to have pushed this tree right on top of my little car. We were speechless when we came home that day.

    That was a close one, Barb! I'm so glad you and your car weren't damaged.

    Beautiful stormy skies Barb. They make the autumn colours really pop don't they? Fallen trees can cause so much damage to property and cars. I'm just so pleased that the tree missed your little car.

    Thanks everyone. My little car would definitely have been smashed. That is a convertible top. Those pictures were taken with my phone. Just a snapshot. But mean clouds, that's for sure.

    I love the contrast of the blue/grey forboding skies & the bright autumn foliage! Glad your car is unscathed.
