This is a butterfly with a story . I saw my first one a day earlier ( it is a very rare one ) and the shot I made did not really felt that good . So I wanted to try to find it again for a better shot , despite the weather forecast . I watched the radar and there should be some light rain . When I finished my shooting the rain started . It was not light rain , it was raining cats and dogs . That was probably the end of my camera, 'till now I cannot use it anymore !!!
With a forecast for clear skies this weekend I couldn't resist a visit down to Dorset to try and capture the Milky Way.
I ended up at Portland Bill next to the lighthouse capturing this shot of the Pulpit Rock.
Pulpit Rock was intentionally left as a quarrying relic and was formed with religious associations; the large slab of rock leaning against the main stack depicted an open bible leaning on a pulpit. At the time of its creation, Portland had gained an influx of a variety of religious groups and active places of worship following the transformation of Portland Roads into a harbour of refuge. The related government works, such as the fortifications built to defend the harbour, along with the Royal Navy's increasing presence at Portland, resulted in large increases to the island's population.
A storm glass is a glass tube filled with multiple chemicals, and it is said that the weather in the near future can be known from the state of the solution, precipitation, and crystals.
Crystals have appeared today, so the weather will be bad soon.
The weather forecasters are predicting that we might get some winter weather in the next few days, so far we have got off relatively lightly . I doubt however it will be as cold as Arctic Norway this was taken around lunchtime in December and whilst there was no sunlight, the snow does make it appear brighter then I was anticipating . The light has an unusual blueish tone through the short Arctic day .
The image is looking down toward the Malangen fiord about thirty miles south of Tromso
THANKS FOR YOUR VISITING BUT CAN I ASK YOU NOT TO FAVE AN IMAGE WITHOUT ALSO MAKING A COMMENT. MANY THANKS KEITH. ANYONE MAKING MULTIPLE FAVES WITHOUT COMMENTS WILL SIMPLY BE BLOCKED
Back to Trout Lake and an early morning frost on the Sunshine Coast. The weather called for a touch of snow on this day, which led to plenty of interesting candy coated trees. My thought on this shot was to use the red frost covered trees, to imitate a shadow, to the white frost covered trees. In turn, that would help give the illusion of dimension.
When I saw the ducks land and begin to swim, they turned and angled straight for my shot, as if it were planned. Perhaps it is true when they say, "luck favours the prepared".
...and this was on the leeward, sheltered side of the Isle of Portland!

The Early Bird...
The forecast called for early morning thunder showers and inclement weather; Knowing they are the best days for sunrises... I made my way to Burton park and started taking shots of the sunrise.
the yellow and crimson blue hues of the sky only lasted a few minutes then were lost in the thicker cloud cover that suddenly enveloped the rising sun.
The early bird gets the sky to itself....

Finding a moment of quiet serenity and a reminder that everything will be alright. This stone walled setting with its soft lamp , candles and flowers is the perfect spot for Fika , the Swedish pause for a coffee , a treat and appreciation.
The sign that says Everything is going to be OK , perfectly captures that feeling of comfort , calm and looking forward to a stress free moment ..
The weather forecast was for showers and sunshine all day which for me makes great conditions to be in the Lakes .
If you look to the top of the pikes you can see the hikers doing what they love and the autumnal colours are starting to show now.
You just gotta love The Lake District.
I spotted this on 24/02/2023 and with a bit of sunshine about it looked quite uplifting - however , now they are talking about snow next week !!
My attempt at the "Crazy Tuesday" theme "Glow".
Shot with a Carl Zeiss "Luminar 25 mm F 3.5" lens on a Canon EOS R5.
I was itching to go out and shoot as I was off from work - all my weather apps and local weather said zero clouds at sunset. Two hours prior, I spotted some light clouds and headed out.
Weather apps & reports are great as an aid, but nothing replaces direct observation.
The Great Salt Lake - GPS is not the exact spot of the shot.
No comments today – just enjoy :-)

Well today I thought I'd intercept my uploads from my recent trip to the Faroe Islands by instead sharing an image from this morning at Ullswater in the Lake District.
With the forecast for a possibility of mist I thought I'd head down to the Lakes, and sure enough as I was driving down the motorway I hit a blanket of fog near Penrith. I decided to venture along a section of Ullswater that I'd never explored before, from Pooley Bridge along the eastern shore.
It was a wonderfully serene morning, with hardly a breath of wind. There are a few photogenic trees along this path which forms part of the circular Ullswater Way trail. There were also some boats moored along the lake which looked lovely emerging from the mist.
Red sky at night, sailors delight; red sky in the morning, sailors take warning.

With heartfelt and genuine thanks for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day, be well, keep your eyes open, appreciate the beauty surrounding you, enjoy creating, stay safe and laugh often! ❤️❤️❤️
Ok it is still not may in germany. But I was crawling in my file archive from last year and found one of my usual "single-tree-images".
Just a symbol against the cold eastern weather :-)
Yesterday (6 march 2021) My photo could be seen on the RTL4 news channel weather forecast ;-)

Assessing frost and freeze damage
On my way home (after a highly recommended haircut due to Covid limitations) I encountered this spectacular phenomenon; frost damage protection by sprinkling water over the fresh young new buds.
Have a good weekend ;-)
The forecast initially called for 12 to 18 inches on this recent day where I live, but we lucked out and ended the day with only 9 inches of fresh snow. And I must admit that it made for a pretty view behind our house as the white stuff piled up on the deck railing.

Another cool start to the day, both in weather and trains. A trio of EMDs lead southbound loads at Zim with morning puffies overhead that added some great texture to the sky.
it's been a while since we've had big blue skies. Today's forecast is for heavy rain possibly turning to sleet later . . .and my central heating system is making whining noises like it's about to break down . . .
Backup update: I bought a second external drive - 3 terabytes - just for my Pictures folder, which apart from all my photos, also holds the Lightroom catalogues, an absolutely essential part of the LR system.. So I will use the first external drive just for Time Machine backups of my MacBook Pro.
The forecast was for clear skies just before dawn, so /I decided to take a short ride to Lake Mattamuskeet to see if I could capture the Zodiacal Light. Got there just as the clouds were starting to roll in. This composite is a stack of 10 images to reduce the noise a bit.

Every year in Spring the Common Cranes arrive in Sweden from Spain and Germany. They have arrived to perform their mating dance. It is a spectacle I have looked forward to for years and it did not disappoint. The first two days the weather was really bad, torrential rain and low visibility and -6deg C
Cranes are monogamous and most arrive with their partners among the thousands of other birds, whooper swans, coots, grebes and geese. The call and noise of these birds is deafening but a sight to behold. Day 3 finally the weather forecast showed good weather but -15C. It was a wonderful red, orange sky, aflame with thousands of birds arriving.
They flew across the flaming sky and danced, pirouetting, bowing which helps in establishing life long bonds with existing and new partners.
When nesting, Common cranes "paint" their bodies with mud or decaying vegetation, apparently in order to blend into their nesting environment. The nest is either in or very near shallow water, often with dense shore vegetation nearby, and may be used over several years.
Mythology has it that the crane, if treated with due respect, will bring luck, success and a long life. Farmers in western Sweden have a long tradition of paying homage to the bird by mimicking its leggy gait in a ritual dance around the farmhouse.
An amazing experience despite the freezing temperatures and one that I will always remember.
Thought better show what I've been up too!
Yes, it's that time of year again, and spent a very cold day in the wind and even showers yesterday ... that was NOT forecast, so didn't have a coat.
But the Adrenalin starts as the birds start to arrive.. and this chap did not disappoint!
Hope that you enjoy seeing him
Name the tune?
The forecast was for an entirely clear morning yesterday so I got up and went to my local loch to get a long shot of the sunrise. I was initially disappointed when I saw the clouds in the distance, but now that I see the result I am very pleased.
Rain, sleet and snow forecast.
Thank you all for you kind messages in recent weeks. We have both been very ill, Tom with inner ear problems and I have very painful nerves from the base of the spine. I can only stagger to the wash room and this computer briefly in adjoining room but we have good care from a care company. I hope slowly to be able to answer your messages and favours. Wishing you peace, joy and health..
This is Gracie Jo, the semi-feral cat we are trying to coax indoors. Today's forecast was for a "wintry mix", lots of wind, etc. At lunch time, Gracie Jo ran pretty quickly to the back door (before I could take her food up to her heated area in the workshop), so it seemed like a good time to try whisking her inside. I got her into the laundry room without her biting or scratching me. Just about that time the wind picked up and the rain turned to sleet & I think Gracie Jo must have been okay with being inside for a little while.
The weather forecast all week had pointed to a good weekend, so my son & I planned a (long) daytrip to the Trossachs.
Our plan was to walk the Meall nan Tarmachan ridge: a circular route taking in the Munro of Meall nan Tarmachan.
But as can be seen from the shot (& the title), the weather didn't quite work out as we had hoped, with the cloud level stubbornly sticking around the 500-600m level. Thus we curtailed the plan to a sometimes soggy there and back up Meall nan Tarmachan (see shot in comments for 'visibility at the summit!).

The Shipping Forecast is a BBC Radio broadcast of weather reports and forecasts for the seas around the British Isles. It is produced by the Met Office and broadcast by BBC Radio 4 on behalf of the Maritime and Coastguard Agency. The forecast dates back over 150 years. There are currently four broadcasts per day at the following (UK local) times: 00:48, 05:20, 12:01, and 17:54.
The Shipping Forecast began life, on 24 August 1867, and was originally a series of telegraph messages sent to harbour towns to warn of impending storms. There had been some efforts to predict and warn about incoming weather via scientific means before this – pioneered by Robert FitzRoy following a catastrophic storm in 1859 that killed 800 mariners off the coast of Wales.
Sadly, FitzRoy didn’t live to see his ideas become a permanent fixture of British life: he killed himself in 1865, in part because of his frustration at failing to set up a regular service.
Today shipping forecasts are common all over the world.
