Late afternoon walk, February 21st, 2010.
It had been a dull, overcast day, though mostly dry. The skies looked stormy and sure enough we had rain later on . . . and every day since. The water table must be extremely high by now and we are fortunate that we do not live on a flood plain. I half expect to see ducks and geese and swans in our garden, it's so wet . . .

This is quite a range--and very peaceful; wintry, yet not blatantly so. Sometimes less drama is rather welcome. Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteGroan. Yes, grey and damp. Still, at least there's minimal chance of sunburn.
ReplyDeleteAhh, those velvety blue clouds and the silhouetted trees...my kind of beauty. Hope it dries out some for you.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely weekend, my friend!
Oh, what lovely skies, Janice!! And you know how I love the bare trees against the skies and these are wonderful! And such soft colors! Great shots! Hope you have a lovely weekend!

The sky does look ominous. Yet the shots are very beautiful.
ReplyDeleteAs a hydrologist I approve of this post. Sky's are always invigorating ... no matter how cloudy. (How's the UK doing in the Olympics by the way? Is there a particular winter sport that's popular over there?)
ReplyDeleteLovely dramatic skies, the blues are so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteLove these dramatic skies. And those blue clouds are amazing!
ReplyDeleteThese are gorgeous skies to look at, however wet, Janice.
ReplyDeleteSoon the rain will stop for you and spring will come and with it new images while here on the other side of the world we might get some proper rain.
Love the clouds in the first picture
ReplyDeleteGorgeous skies!!! Thanks for sharing!!!
ReplyDeleteSuch dramatic skies.

Love the second shot! I am impressed you liked GR!
ReplyDeleteThe sky is quite dramatic in these photos. I imagine the clouds were moving quickly. I really like the silhouette, especially in the second and fifth photos.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos. Beautiful stormy looking skies.
ReplyDeleteLovely series of sky shots, all very dramatic looking and quite beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThank you all for leaving such positive comments.
ReplyDeletere: Winter Olympics - Gold medal in the women's luge,the Brits were expected to do well in the men's curling, but didn't, women's 2-man(woman?) bobsled was disastrous - my viewing has been somewhat patchy and disjointed, sadly. I haven't seen any ice dance or figure skating but have marvelled at the speed skating and found the curling strangely relaxing!
Beautiful stormy sky views ... your skies look similar to the ones we experienced on Friday and Saturday when we had RAIN too. It's cleared up today but apparently more wet stuph is on the way.
ReplyDeleteHugs and blessings,
