After our blustery, rainy series of days, the weather cleared up and today we had sun. It in fact felt a bit spring-like …
… except for the autumn colours …
… and the fact that we apparently have another storm on the way that will probably be making the skiers very happy. There’s supposed to be a lot of snow in the mountains but falling as rain here in the valley which suits me just fine!
Happy weekend.
Reddish Rainbow I thought this was a little unusual for a rainbow … lots of the reds and not so much (if any) blues and greens. This is looking …

I love this amazing and very unusual rainbow photo from Allan J Jones Photography. To see more of Allan’s beautiful pictures, please click the link above. His site is well worth a visit.
The sun starts to go down quite early now. I was out for my regular afternoon ramble and to my surprise – I really shouldn’t have been – saw the sun beginning its sink at 3:22 p.m. Given that we have mountains all around, we are totally dark by about 4:30. My, that really is early!
The sunset felt wintery, too. The thin, veil-like cloud, the slight chill from the wind and the tint of the sunset itself all contributed to that sense.
But it’s November. A little bit of a wait, but I’ll nevertheless soon be counting down to spring!
Happy Saturday.
During a recent flight there were some amazing cloud formations illuminated by the moon.
These clouds were avoided and we had a smooth, uneventful flight.
Happy Tuesday.
We had quite a windy rain storm pass through …
… which had many birds huddling on the beach …
… but the sun showed up …
… and for a bit it felt like it could be spring.
Unfortunately, that won’t be happening for a while, but it was nice to enjoy the little reversion.
Happy Monday.
Night descends so quickly now and soon the clocks will flip back to standard, bringing even earlier evenings and a different sort of seasonal beauty.
Happy Sunday.
We took an evening walk …
… and returned late enough to see the almost half-moon rising above the mountains. Since I used my cell to take the picture, the moon’s edges aren’t very defined, but I like the photo despite that drawback, especially the sky’s blue tint.
Happy Wednesday.
I’m back…at least for one post. Not sure about the future but at least for one day my mojo is back. Recently a Facebook friend, and now blogging …

A beautiful moon photo from Stephen Gingold Nature Photography. A visit to his blog is well worth the time.
On Friday we had a fast-moving storm whip through.
These menacing clouds were underlit by the setting sun which lent a lot of drama to the skyscape.
I stood on my deck and watched this unfolding spectacle while I could …
… as it only lasted for about 10 minutes.
An amazing show, courtesy of Nature.
Happy Sunday.
Well, not really. But if fish had bigger brains, here’s what they would probably say.
Happy Thursday. 😉
