Summer is gone and has sprung straight into winter
the electric blanket pre-heats my bed
the heater is stoked
we have already had a frost
and my tomatoes get covered at night
in case they still have a chance to ripen
the sky was fun to watch and very fast moving
streaming past or bubbling up like boiling water
a vague hope still burned but still no rain
. . . almost three months now
and frost dries out the soil even more
hope you are all well
and also that I could get to blogging again
and start catching up on all your doings.

ReplyDeleteoh, these are beautiful skies. sorry you did not get rain, though!
ReplyDeleteLovely sky with those clouds moving right along. I wish we had some rain too--awfully dry here. Have a great weekend Mickie ;)
ReplyDeleteWOW! Those are wonderful sky images.
ReplyDeleteThose scenes are lovely,but I understand the disappointment when the rains don't come.
ReplyDeleteLovely to see you back. I was just about to email you.
ReplyDeleteNo rain here either (other than incontinent pigeon splatters).
Love those hopeful cloud-filled skies.
awesome photos! yes we need water here too, has been a very dry summer so far.
ReplyDeleteNice series of photographs. My favorite is the last one. Clouds are amazing.

do you watch cricket. Last night Australia won against |India. It will be interesting when they play against New Zealand.
ReplyDeleteI hope that you get some rain soon. It has been too long. I love your photos, and your header photo. I love how we are coming out of winter and you are going in.
ReplyDeleteWonderful skies! Hope you get some rain soon.

ReplyDeleteNo rain and frost already??? You do tend to have wet winter's over there though don't you? Our summer is when we often have most rain. Love your captures of the clouds, very dramatic.
ReplyDeleteLike the changing skies but do wish those beautiful clouds would bring you rain. I hope the cooler weather is kind to you health wise.
ReplyDeleteThat certainly is a dramatic sky event, and the analogy of a kettle of boiling water is a good one. Very elemental.
ReplyDeleteWishing you rain. And autumn!
Oh my goodness that is harsh to jump from one season and skip another....here we are still waiting for spring as winter will not release its grasp.
ReplyDeleteSure do look like rain clouds. Sorry to hear it's been so long since some came. Beautiful photos!
ReplyDeleteLove your skies, as always!
ReplyDeleteAnd the perspective your opposite changing seasons always bring to me. Thanks, Arija!
These are beautiful skies! Fun to watch when they are fast moving.
ReplyDeleteVery dramatic and breathtaking photo!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful skies, but too bad they didn't contain any rain. Our snow is melting early and with a lower winter snowpack thatn normal we'll be looking for rain soon too to keep the wildfires down this summer.
ReplyDeleteSuch a terrible tease those billowing clouds are and how frustrating not to get the much needed rain.
ReplyDeleteOur Winter still lingers and I think I need an electric blanket too. The skies are just wonderful, full of great movement. Hugs to you~
ReplyDeleteA beautiful collection of cloud&sky photoes!
ReplyDeleteNice clouds. I gave up our tomatoes this weekend - removed and soil dug over. Always a bit of a marker for the turning of the year.
ReplyDeleteI think your answer to the nationality question is a classic.

Looks cold! winter was late leaving here this year, but signs of spring are appearing.
ReplyDeleteHello, hello!!! How happy I was to see you again! Your clouds are magnificent. It's no wonder that you spend so much time gazing at nature. It's so wondrous in your part of the world. Ahhh, then again, maybe it's not necessarily your part of the world, but you who brings wonder to it. xoxoxo
ReplyDeletewish i could send you some of our moisture to even things out some...
ReplyDeleteI love your dramatic sky shots. Happy Easter!
ReplyDeletevery pretty
ReplyDeletesuch gorgeous sky photographs! Each one.
ReplyDeleteso you enter autumn and we enter spring. always an interesting thing.
please email me with your choice of photographs, or if you prefer a greeting card from my shop. It is my pleasure to send you one! I believe you can respond to this comment as an email to me. thank you so much for identifying the flowers.... i really tried and could not find them. They are not common. Perhaps a garden plant gone wild? Lovely Easter to you.
