It was cloudy for the whole day (which was actually a nice change from the torrential rain we’d driven in for more than half of the trip*) and it reminded me of how soft photographs feel when you aren’t dealing with harsh sunlight.

There were a few leftover puddles on the polished stone planter so I caught some reflections.

Tulsa, Oklahoma

*We were three blocks from home, on the way to catch a 6:00 pm flight to Tulsa, when we got a message that our flight was cancelled. So we drove instead. It was a challenging drive with the rain plus road construction in Oklahoma** but we made it.

**How can Oklahoma have (1) tollways, (2) constant road construction, and (3) shitty roads ALL AT THE SAME TIME?
