Weekly Photo Challenge: Renewal

Yet another tough WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge with the word Renewal, one you can quite easily do something fairly cliché, so the challenge of finding a non-formulaic image was a tough one.

Luckily I had the camera over my shoulder (as usual) and took these wonderful shots of her and the storm.
