Window Wednesday(s)
It was quite damp out there today! I haven't taken a photo out of the front door in a long time; it's been too cold, but today, it got into the 50s, so it was warm enough.
Wind Forecast on the weather this morning, looking at the sky i think they might be right! Some amazing colours in that sky!

Can we really trust a meteorologist?
Have a great Sunday dear friends.

Our forecast is for 5-10 cm of snow followed by 10 mm rain and 100km winds..sounds like a fun night...haven't seen any birds at my feeder in a few days...This was taken last Sunday when we had about 10 cm of snow...
I got my H1N1 shot today on the way home from work...hubby had his and thought I should get one too before we visit his elderly mom at Christmas...I am waiting for the "sore arm" everyone complains about...
The weather forecast said strong winds and sun. So I had to go to the coast and shoot some waves. Fortunately I had brought water proof clothing, because I didn't always get away from the splashes in time...
Here's a shot of what it looks like when a wave recedes at the same spot:

Weather forecast said it would be clear this morning, so I had an early rise. Leekstermeer (Lake Leek) 16-02-2018, near Groningen, The Netherlands. Fuji X-T2, 10-24mm f/4. 25 sec. f/11 10mm. ND gradient hard edge 0.9 (3stops) + ND reversed gradient soft edge 0.9.
the weather forecasters were predicting a possible vivid sunrise because of smoke particles drifting in from the western wildfires.
I rolled out of bed early to check out what might be a spectacular sunrise.
It was a lovely morning,and pretty sunrise, but nothing out of the ordinary.
I was amazed at how calm the ocean looked. Hardly a wave.
When the forecast gives you lemons, you sometimes have to try and make lemonade. I was hoping that the partly cloudy skies would last. By the time I made it to this spot the wather had taking a turn in the wrong direction. The lights you see are a combination of Anchorage city lights, Aleyska ski slopes, and northern lights that are lighting the clouds.
FORECAST: HEATWAVE UNTIL NEXT WEEKEND!
I just hope no wildfires develop!
Thank you all so much for stopping by and for the kind comments and favs. They are very much appreciated!
Taken at Nash Point, S Glamorgan Coast - the weather was due to be full sun and not too windy - hmmm maybe not! Got there and a very heavy rain squall and very windy but when the squall passed over I managed to get a shot of the interesting sky - much better than a completely blue sky!!
With forecasts warning of ice and only a chance of snow it was a bit of a surprise to see a white covering this morning.

The forecast wasn't that promising when i left Lake Louise but as I travelled up the Icefields Parkway the light improved and although I was too late for a sunrise shot, I arrived at Upper Waterfowl Lake to find a perfect reflection of Mount Cephren wrapped in early morning mist.

Happy rest of the week all!
It was forecast to be a whole week of almost wall to wall sunshine and temperatures finally on the rise.
Then, the forecasters said the high pressure weather system had moved in a different direction to what they'd expected (how very dare it!).
So, the wind direction in North East England is coming in off a very chilled North Sea, meaning more cloud than sunshine and temperatures pegged to barely reaching double digits.
Still feeling a bit chilly late this afternoon in Sunderland's Mowbray Park with some welcome sunshine illuminating the Winter Gardens and Weeping Willows coming into leaf.
Fingers crossed for a bit more sunny stuff tomorrow.
All three photos posted this morning are from my archives. Our forecast is for snow today, so I thought I would post photos with colour.
Almost a year ago, on 24 February 2015, I called in at Fish Creek Park to see if anyone had been able to find the tiny (less than 6" in length) Northern Pygmy-owl(s). I was in luck and, although the light was bad, the little owls put on quite a performance. This included a few things that I had missed on other days, such as perched on a fence post and both owls very briefly sitting on a branch, side by side (got a couple of really bad shots from behind, but I did post one ages ago, just for the record). There were long periods of waiting in between the various bits of activity, so one needs a huge amount of patience : )
This photo was taken shortly before I left the park, after watching and waiting and hoping that this little female would eventually fly down and catch a Meadow Vole. Instead, she simply flew over to a fence post, which in itself was a real treat. I love the background colour from patches of dead leaves still hanging on the bushes.
"Northern Pygmy Owls are 'sit and wait' predators, that hunt mainly by vision, diving down onto prey on the ground and driving the talons into the prey's throat. They will also attack birds in shrubs, crashing into the hapless victims. Most prey is carried off in the feet to feeding sites. Birds are usually plucked before being consumed. They often eat only the brains of birds and the soft abdomen of insects. One of these little owls can carry prey weighing up to 3 times its own weight.
The Northern Pygmy Owl feeds on a wide range of small prey including small mammals, birds, and reptiles and amphibians. Voles make up the bulk of their diet, with birds comprising most of the rest (mainly songbirds, but as large as a California Quail). Other small mammals include shrews, mice, chipmunks, bats, moles, young rabbits, and weasels. Insects may be very important when they are most abundant. Other prey taken are toads, frogs and small lizards and snakes.
During winter, surplus prey is cached in a cavity, often in large quantities. Summer caches are usually much smaller.
Pellets are very small, averaging about 3cm long. They are formed only occasionally as these owls don't consume large amounts of fur, feathers, or bone. The pellets tend to fall apart shortly after ejection." From OwlPages.
Day 336 of 365
So for the first time this winter we have snow in the forecast, which means we probably won't get any. Unlike most Baltimoreans, I actually hope for and want snow. My vehicle doesn't have a problem in it and I love the white stuff. If any appears it will probably just be some flurries that wont stick. It is promising for a whiter winter though. Usually, here in my part of Maryland we don't see any real snow until after the new year.
Of course this is good news for the grocery stores. here in Baltimore even the mention of snow throws most into a frenzy and they hit the grocery stores buying up all the milk, toilet paper and bread that they can. I've never really understood this behavior. In Maryland I've never seen so much snow that I've been stuck in the house more than a few hours due to snow, a day at the max and never have I found myself dependent on bread, milk and toilet paper for my continued survival. If I was living in Montana or something I might understand it, but it makes no sense in Baltimore. In Baltimore it's just a bit silly.
The weather forecasters last night dropped in the nugget that it was an exceptionally high spring tide today with the possibility of flooding and they were not wrong! For the bottom of the palisade fence at left to disappear underwater is not common - especially to this extent. Fortunately this train coincided with the peak and even better it had a load up front for a change - yay on both counts.
The day had started with quite a lot of cloud cover - I couldn't help thinking that perhaps we'd contributed to it... Rebuilt Bulleid Pacific 34027 "Taw Valley" pollutes the Worcestershire air as it rounds Safari Curve on the Severn Valley Railway during a Matt Fielding photo charter
Despite the forecast the sun was out for much of the day between MacTier and Parry Sound, ON. There was little southbound traffic in the area after CP114 went through, but I hung around town and passed the time shopping until the CP112 appeared on the radar. I was happy to see the fresh paint and made a beeline to this site for the intercept. Thankfully it was late in the afternoon and the CN northbound trains were at the crossover, which caused enough of a delay for me to get down to the lake.
I have to say *thank goodness* for the fresh paint on some of these CP locomotives! Having something bright to contrast against the darker backgrounds makes a big difference, in my opinion. It's not much fun when there's an eyesore in the picture and it's the lead locomotive.

I heard a 7400 was heading up late in the day too!

The weather forecast called for rain all day long, again.... Mother Nature had other plans and blessed us with about 3 hours of sunlight, mid-morning.
The day was forecasted to be cloudy and in the mid 40s but we decided to brave the elements and go to Cape May for the day and were rewarded with a sunny day in the 50s. We had the town and all the beaches pretty much to ourselves. Cape May in the winter is a whole different place than it is in the summer. I was reminded of Judecat www.flickr.com/photos/43749513@N08/ when we saw signs for Wildwood and as we walked along the beaches and watched for birds down by the lighthouse.
Well, the forecast was correct:-)
Was at the Hove Place pub meeting up with all from Brighton and Hove Camera Club for a Tuesday pint. I was keeping a close eye out on the rain radar for the incoming storm that was due to arrive after chucking out time.Packed a camera and tripod in the boot of the car in anticipation.
Popped up to Devils Dyke Road on the way home and grabbed this shot prior to the rain coming in.
Looks like 4 of the turbines on the new wind farm off the coast at Brighton got struck.
Technique :-
25 second exposure (hit and hope) with an aperture of f11 so not to overexpose the Brighton lights and foreground.
I have Koda to thank for this shot. If he hadn't been meowing at the front door, I would have missed the sky this morning.
Just read the surf forecast for the weekend.. 8-10 ft east swell!! Not sure that the winds will behave themselves as it is from a pretty local system so it could just be a mess...But i have been itching for a decent shoot or surf for what feels like weeks.. It will be nothing like the picture here from early autumn which was glassy 2-3 ft with clear skies.. Woo hoo, a good storm swell!!
