After the Wind

Recently, we had some continuously windy and rainy weather for about five days, although each evening the wind died away and the atmosphere relaxed into night.

The rain was generally persistent throughout the evening and night periods but sometimes there were clear breaks as well. This picture is of one of those clear breaks. The lake was like a mill pond while there was some mist in the distance and the lights began to be visible.

Happy Sunday.

Cloud Art

I saw some interesting cloud formations that were lit by an almost full moon.

The moon itself was rather impressive, but I thought the clouds were more compelling. I was hoping for a better picture (this was taken with my phone – I do need to be better about remembering my camera!), but I think it conveys an idea of what I saw.

Happy Friday; happy weekend.

Cloudy Autumn Valley

The rain continues with overcast skies punctuated by short sunny breaks and quite a lot of wind! Autumn has definitely blown in.

It’s still very comfortable outside but the cooler temperatures are nice even if the wind tries to steal your shirt! There will likely be a few more completely lovely days before autumn’s invigorating coolness and stunning colours start arriving.

Happy Tuesday.

Sometimes, life is like that.
