While driving down an East Texas country road I spotted this scene. The autumn trees and the late afternoon sun made these golden bales of hay shine just a little bit more. Fortunately I had my camera with me. (c) James Q. Eddy Jr.

Storm Chaser Proposes To His Girlfriend And She Accepts

DAVID GREENE, HOST:

Good morning. I'm David Greene. So if you go on Alex Bartholomew's Facebook page, you'll see some photos of him proposing to his girlfriend. Behind him, there's a picturesque Texas landscape and a tornado, which was exactly how Alex wanted it. He's a storm chaser. And he wanted nothing more than to go down on one knee and pop the question with a potentially deadly twister right in the shot. Believe it or not, she said yes. Here's hoping she's not in for a stormy marriage. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.
