Actually, raining has started today and weather forecast is to continue raining until the rest of the week...
Check out these beauties :-)
It was so interesting to watch the frost form around the water droplets on the window. It was a toasty 20 degrees inside my garage, but much colder on the other side of the glass. Forecast calls for temperatures to drop to -10 degrees F (-23 C) by morning, with windchills beyond -20 F.
Frost on window glass.

Sycamore Gap
I took a wander along to the Sycamore tree on Hadrian's Wall this morning after the forecast of a cold start to the day....it wasn't that cold.

This scene holds some raw power, for me. Particularly in reflecting a lost opportunity I had to gain insight into a very different understanding of the world (an Amish perspective). I try to stay away from regret, as I think it rarely serves much good… and I generally try not to do anything I would regret. But I do try to support the notion that something I would regret can otherwise be valued as a learning experience. In this case: a lesson in a missed chance. Blogged if you want clarity to this story.
In this shot, there are some strange tones in the sky, and I believe this had to do with the window reflection of the train.
Caught in an exceptionally heavy Autumn shower @ Luanes World.

This was taken when we had a 2 day spell of snow in November. The weather forecast was for a small amount of snow overnight so I wasn't going to go out. I woke at 4am so I checked outside and there was a very thin covering in the back garden, in my sleepy state I didn't think that our back garden can be quite sheltered so I went back to bed. Luckily my mate Wayne phoned me on his way to work to tell me that there was in-fact quite a lot of snow and that I should definitely go out, I owe him one.
I had always wanted to photograph this tree but it had never really worked for me but on that day everything came together, the bracken had been thinned out which opened up the composition, there was mist, snow and some lingering autumn colour, its now my favourite woodland shot. It really shows that if you work a location it does pay off. Thanks for looking.
We were at Mimmo, watching floating flower seeds, I was only able to capture one of those properly but luckily it was in the correct place at the time lol

Had a busy Friday but looking at the forecast I decided I'd make a dash at sunrise to see if I could get a decent shot or 2 of the Bluebells at - Micheldever Woods. Whilst shooting the light started to catch the branches of this beech tree and couldn't resist. I've tried a different (semi painterly) editing style on this to my normal images so would be interested in any feedback. Just a plea - if anyone goes bluebell viewing please take care not to trample them. Nothing sadder than a lovely patch of bluebells that have been flattened by feet. Thanks for viewing.

Forecast was optimistic so I went o the coast - paid off. Took a roll of Portra 400 early evening before breaking out the digital - Was the only one there
When I first checked the forecast and saw the possibility of mist I thought of this small tree which sits isolated from its bigger brothers on a small promintory. There is no way I could possibly have hoped for everything to align on the day as it did, but this was the moment the sunlight first caught my 'star'.
The noisy miner is a bird in the honeyeater family, Meliphagidae, and is endemic to eastern and southeastern Australia. This miner is a grey bird, with a black head, orange-yellow beak and feet, a distinctive yellow patch behind the eye, and white tips on the tail feathers.
The Noisy Miner birds also love to feed on our Grevillea bush. While they are native to Australia, they chase most of the smaller birds away, so they are not my favourite birds.
After 2 days of 41 C temps (night time temps didn't go below 29 C), tomorrow is supposed to be around 26 C. 41 C forecast for Tuesday. Tomorrow is the first official day of Summer and if the recent heat is any indication, it will be a long hot Summer.
The flowers in my photo from yesterday are all burnt off from the heat and I am hoping that if I cut them back, they will flower again.
A bit different from yesterday view.
Rain was forecast and it did arrive.
Looking across padarn lake towards the snowdonia mountains in rain.
The weather forecast was for clear skies today, so we thought we would try to see if we could spot some of the Snowy Owls which migrate from the Arctic to this area for the winter. Alas, no owls were seen, but I was able to capture some interesting scenes regardless...
We've been having snow and flurries all morning, and the forecast is for more snow on the way. Besides that, it's gotten super cold again!
Last light on the Georgian Bay predicts some good dawn light tomorrow, a la "red sky at night, sailors' delight". No weather app needed here.
The mountain weather forecasters played a blinder on this day, forecasting there could be an inversion around the higher hills of North Wales,. That was despite there being high winds, normally I have only experienced inversions when the conditions were still. So I set off early, climbing up the slopes of Moel Siabod through cold, dense fog that was being blown around quite a lot, so not exactly pleasant walking conditions. It was only when I got quite close to the summit that the predictions proved correct and fleetingly I walk out through the top of the cloud. It was a real treat to see the cloud blowing around below me, swirling around in the stiff breeze. This was the sight at the summit Trig point, looking south east across a boiling sea of cloud.
Early morning, the forecast said fog which I was looking quite forward but I ended up with a dramatic sky instead. If it wasn’t for this forecast, I would have never attempted to shot this location at summer. I am quite thankful as definitely enjoy the end result.
A great forecast this morning and I made the move to Wennington to record ROG 37611 hauling Northern 331009 to Skipton Broughton Road, seen here exiting Melling Tunnel.
Still bullhead jointed rail here, sounds you just don't hear anymore and it took me back.
* Northern are currently re-allocating their Class 331 EMU's. Rail Operations Group are taking nine 3-car examples to Skipton and bringing twelve 4-car 311/1 units back over to Allerton Depot on Merseyside.

I thought this image (from years gone by) a suitable post for today given that they are forecasting light snow this afternoon ... time to put the winter tires on the car ... they won't come off until April. :)

'Autumn Falls'
Autumn has fallen with its dismal grays,
Occluding light and warmth of Summer days.
Bright hued leaves sun’s final array,
Reds and golds their dying display,
Until wind and wet tear them from trees
And lay them to rest through winter’s freeze.
Farewell the long hours of prominent sun
As dusk pervades and gloom has won.
Unyielding steel skies, impervious, unfold
And spike the heart with cheerless cold.
Take up a lament for autumn’s chill
And Winter snows that make all still.
Although dark and loss do dismay,
The darkest night gives way to day.
A strident hope profits cheer,
For steadfast Spring will reappear
As surely, as night gives way to dawn,
Faith ignites and gloom is gone.

Stonehenge is a prehistoric monument on Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire, England, two miles (3 km) west of Amesbury. It consists of an outer ring of vertical sarsen standing stones, each around 13 feet (4.0 m) high, seven feet (2.1 m) wide, and weighing around 25 tons, topped by connecting horizontal lintel stones. Inside is a ring of smaller bluestones. Inside these are free-standing trilithons, two bulkier vertical Sarsens joined by one lintel. The whole monument, now ruinous, is orientated towards the sunrise on the summer solstice. The stones are set within earthworks in the middle of the most dense complex of Neolithic and Bronze Age monuments in England, including several hundred tumuli (burial mounds). Archaeologists believe that Stonehenge was constructed from 3000 BC to 2000 BC. [Wikipedia].
A blustery day (gusts of 40mph, according to the forecast), but sunny with cloud. TPE (The Photographers Ephemeris) showed good side lighting in the mid-morning, which was ideal for the shot I had planned from the day before (which was cloudy and wet).

Avebury Stone Circle, Wiltshire
I thought I would post another image to mark my hitting 200 followers today - Thanks to Dom Haughton for that milestone and thanks to the other 199 as well😊.
After a lot of dull grey weather there was a forecast for frost last Friday and as I was working I needed somewhere close. I'd scouted Avebury a few weeks earlier. Unfortunately when I arrived there were already 2 Togs in the line of where I wanted to shoot so had to adjust my composition. Got a shot to the left of the stone then quickly relocated slightly to the right. Those who have followed me for a while know I like a sun-star!😆 It's a 5 exposure bracket for those interested.
Avebury henge and stone circles are one of the greatest marvels of prehistoric Britain. Built and much altered during the Neolithic period, roughly between 2850 BC and 2200 BC, the henge survives as a huge circular bank and ditch, encircling an area that includes part of Avebury village. Within the henge is the largest stone circle in Britain - originally of about 100 stones - which in turn encloses two smaller stone circles.
Avebury is part of an extraordinary set of Neolithic and Bronze Age ceremonial sites that seemingly formed a vast sacred landscape. If you want to know more about Avebury try www.english-heritage.org.uk/visit/places/avebury/history/

Sunday's forecast for Glen Affric looked promising for some potential mist so I managed to persuade Iain (Highlandscape) along for a sunrise shoot. We were initially restricted to some 'minimalist' mist shots, disappointed that the mist and low cloud blocked any chance of some sunrise colour. However, all was about to change as the sun broke through the mist tops, with the next 30 mins or so providing some of the best light and environmental conditions I have witnessed,
Weather forecast: Local rain is expected over two of the trees in the lake between 2:00 and 4:00 PM! Agency is warning: The cloud is already on a position! Please, do not stay between the two trees! :-)
No Risk-it, No Biscuit - The weather forecast sounded ominous with temps in the negatives. Thank goodness Elin, the ranch owner, soothed our concerns by explaining how they operate in these conditions all the time.
No such thing as bad weather, only bad equipment.
Just like she said, we dressed for the temps, stayed close to the ranch house and trusted her experience.
12th June 2020:
... Known also as an African Lily in the UK.
The sun came out not long before lunchtime, so I grabbed my light raincoat and camera cap and raced over the road for a photo or two. The forecast is for more rain, so I didn't want to miss a minute of some extra vitamin D.
Everything was soaked in raindrops, which actually made getting a photo more fun, especially as the light, for the main part was great. Found this Agapanthus growing upside down, which just made it even better.

ODC-This Is What Happens When...You Get Up Early!
It's quite cold out this morning. The ground is frozen and the air is crisp! I took this out of the breezeway door. This was a very fleeting sunrise.
We had a severe weather warning in effect today. It created amazing clouds.

The forecast for the storm around here was that it wouldn't really start building up until early in the morning. The milk is delivered overnight and I have to put a somewhat light box outside the door for the milk to go in. I hemmed it in against the house and between the wheelie bin on its side and a tub full of soil. When I went down at 7am it was still firmly there and I was able to bring it indoors with the bottles of milk. The situation is rather more complex at the back. It's too boisterous now to look out there.
Thank you everyone so much for sharing your quality photos which is a great way to see and keep in touch with the world from home. Also for your kind comments and favours which are much valued.I am not able to take on any more members to follow or to post to groups. I prefer not to receive invites to groups
Regarding mist...if you have a good weather forecast, like Environment Canada, they'll list the dewpoint..if the temperature goes below the dewpoint, you'll get mist, as long as its not windy.
Also, in the late summer and fall the water is warmer, and combined with cool nights makes for a lot of misty mornings. Another thing to look for is a nearby rapid or waterfall which will charge the air with moisture overnight, even in winter.
A final point is that mist clears quickly, so you have to get out pre-dawn.
With snow in the forecast, it always pays to take a close look at the sparrows in the yard - today there were the first two American Tree Sparrows of the winter in with the White-throated sparrows
The forecast hadn’t predicted it, but there were other factors which gave me hope, such as recent rain and a drop in temperature and as I climbed to the top of the hill and emerged from the trees just before sunrise, I was very happy to see great big balls of the fluffy stuff aka mist. Big thanks to the elves in their mist factory who worked overtime that morning.
I shoot with an Olympus and I love the LIVE BULB/LIVE TIME feature on these cameras which really helped when photographing this shot of the moving mist.
What it does for you, is give a regular update on the exposure as it is progressing, while the shutter is open. So the photographer is able to see the image & histogram ‘develop’ in-camera and stop the exposure once the shutter has been open for enough time.
