An April Evening

25th December 2019!

Yes, this picture was taken at lunchtime on Christmas Day, ie., yesterday.

 

Weather and climate change

Around the garden yesterday

The extended spell of mild weather has encouraged an unusually early display of Spring flowers’

Raindrops keep falling

Gale force

Lumpy Sea

Between showers

A wet welcome for Spring lambs!

‘Raindrops keep falling ……’

The title, I feel, requires no exploration or elaboration!

November morning

Yesterday morning we experienced the first extensive autumn fog of the year.

In the sheep field the trees took on a spectral appearance.

At the local reservoir the mirror-like water and shroud of fog melted into a seamless infinity.

The fruit tree at the bottom of the garden struggled valiantly to make its presence known.

There will be showers

Sunshine and showers ….. showers ……

The sun shone at times yesterday.  We could see the rain more clearly!!

British summertime!

Still the British summer continues in the manner to which we have become accustomed.  Last month was officially the wettest June ever and now, almost half way through July, there is little change and the weather forecasts do not sound encouraging.

Summer holiday

Even in Spain the sun doesn’t always shine!

Tranquility

When the weather is being obnoxious  –  as during the past two weeks  –  I sometimes take comfort from pictures taken last summer, such as this simple scene from Carbis Bay.  It exudes peace and quiet as the blue sky reflects in the wet sand.

Showery weather

The forecast predicted showers.  The sky suggests the forecasters were right!

Foggy day

After the snow came the fog!  On the neighbouring farm ghostly shapes of animals and trees appeared and disappeared.
