SkyWatch - Late afternoon sky

Coming home from my specialist's appointment

I stopped at the post office to collect our mail

As I turned back from the PO boxes,

I saw this glorious sky

slightly to the lest it turned to zebra stripes

by the time I got to where the road has our

paddocks on both sides,

I let the dog out to run the last mile

and started shooting again

the light was splendid and the dog raring to go

but I just could not stop shooting

 to top it all off, a little video, just because I could . .

all are phone shots undisguised in any way.

Oops, for some reason the video did to load as video,
looks like I still have to learn a few things . . .

SkyWatch & Nature Notes - A horror day

I suppose we must occasionally have days like these . . .

A stormy sky and golden light on the paddock

what's wrong with that?

For one thing, the temperature was hovering around 100F,

the winds were fast furious and had a mind of their own 

and the whole state had a blanket total fire ban.

In this virtual oven, I had to drive for an hour to my specialist's 

rooms. When I got there, with the scar standing in the searing heat, 

I cleverly looked my keys in it.

Having membership in the Royal Automobile Association,

it only took an hour and a half for them to come and break into my car.

Meanwhile, the verdict at my physicians was not a good one.

My heart had markedly deteriorated in the last six weeks since 

I saw him.

After this disappointment, the long hot drive home.

Just when you think things are starting to look up,

life throws a spanner into the works.

Hope you are all having a much nicer time!
