Gray Skies and Yellow Flowers

So I woke up this morning to thunderstorms.  As I was heading to work, I looked up at the skies and thought they looked pretty cool.

 Right after I parked the car, I took this shot.  I kind of liked it but I didn't think the skies looked ominous enough.

 So I put the camera in manual and went for a slightly darker picture.  I like it well enough.

 Then I saw the lines from our building but I should have kept the settings from the other pictures.

 Then I took some pictures of the flowers in front of the building.  I liked the look of the droplets on them.

 From another angle.

 After lunch, I decided to take a walk around the building.  I don't think I've ever seen a green pine cone before.

 So I got a pair from another angle.  I can say that spring is definately here.

 Some milkweek.  Wish the seeds were still in them though.

 A thistle.

 I forget what kind of flowers these are.

 I kind of liked the field of goldenrod set against the evergreens.  I even got enough of an angle so I didn't get the Ann Arbor News building in this shot.

 A daisy.

 I liked the look of these flowers.

 Another daisy.  I kind of liked the branch going across it.

Another flower we have in front of the office.
