Boats and Rain

Tugboat Betsy-L This morning the tugboat Betsy-L passed by my deck in good lighting for a photo that shows some detail, if it's not dramatic. She's the same tug that posed in this dramatic lighting and ended up on my Astoria, Oregon, Daily Photo blog.

Rain and the Radio Tower Six minutes later, at 12:13, the storm had come in.
