Clouds and showers alternating with fleeting sunshine dampened the day until sunset. As the sun lowered towards the horizon it set the clouds ablaze in a way that made me think of the glowing lava flows that built this island eons ago. I could not help but wonder that such a hellish beginning could leadContinue reading “Fire in the Sky”

Blessing of the Curse
It seemed at first as if we had been cursed with rainy weather as we rode along on our circle tour of the island of Tahiti. However, the rain that had sodden our clothes had also intensified the waterfall and sprouted more along our course of travel. It seemed that the spirts of the cloudsContinue reading “Blessing of the Curse”
Rain Dew
Light rain fell during the night, and morning dew increased the amount of water clinging to this plumeria to produce what I am calling “rain dew.” #rain #dew #morning #night #plumeria
Rain’s Return
It has been a dry year so far, and when sprinkles fell recently, we hoped that they would prime the pump to get the rain machine running again. The sprinkles turned to showers and then into a downpour, and we got nearly an inch of rain in a short time. The next day more showersContinue reading “Rain’s Return”
Sunshine after Rain, Again!
Another cold front breezed through dropping heavy rain for about 10 minutes. Then ragged clouds raced by as branches of nearby trees heaved back and forth in the gusting wind. Later in the afternoon the sky cleared, and rays from the lowering sun sent sparkles of light through the bottles in the west-facing window withContinue reading “Sunshine after Rain, Again!”
Sunshine After Rain
Rain and wind buffeted the trees and streets as an atmospheric river poured over the Pacific Northwest. Finally gaps in the “streams” allowed fingers of sunlight through to paint this rainbow. It was a welcome sign; I was beginning to wonder when the animals would start pairing up to look for Noah. #rainbow #rain #atmosphericriverContinue reading “Sunshine After Rain”
Return of the Rays
The days are slowly getting longer now, but for the past week or more it was impossible to tell. Cold fronts left the skies gray and even dropped some welcome rain here, though elsewhere in northern Florida, record snow fell. However, the sunlight has finally returned, and though we had freezing temperatures yesterday, warmer weatherContinue reading “Return of the Rays”
Raggedy Cloud Pastels
The weather gods were at it again with different types of clouds at varying heights splashed with kaleidoscope colors across a canvas of blue sky. Rain and cold may have been on its way, but for a brief while, the preview was a chaotic delight. #rain #clouds #lightshow #kaleidoscope #weather
Substance and Shadow
The sun finally came out today just as it was about to go down. The rain had stopped, drops glistened on leaves and limbs in the yard, and sunbeams spotlighted the ukulele, casting its shadow upon the door. A moment of magic frozen in time. #ukulele #rain #sunset #sunbeam #shadow
Smoke of a Distant Fire
When I first saw this, I thought: How lovely the morning mist in the mountain valleys. Then it dreadfully dawned on me that this was smoke from raging forest fires, not a thing of beauty. Indeed, smoke billowing from active fires are visible on the lower left of the image. Others are visible on closeContinue reading “Smoke of a Distant Fire”
