I can forecast the weather and I am always accurate. I dabble in fortunes too. Come back tomorrow and have your fortune read.
I'm ready :)

I usually use these in the pool :)
We really need a good soaking of rain to break the drought. We do seem to go from "droughts to flooding rains" but I don't think we'll get that much!
What it is really , a weather forecast every bit as accurate as the person on the television after the news . Whether it is the slate or the presenter with the fancy map with symbols and isobars , the weather at the moment is not doing as it is told . That sun and blue sky is proving rather elusive these days !!

The forecast was for bright winter sunshine all day. I decided to spend the day out with my camera, and planned to photograph Kingfishers. Sadly, all I saw was wall to wall grey clouds... Not ideal, as it meant flat light, slow shutter speeds and high ISO. Despite this, I managed to capture this pretty cute autumnal scene. A Grey Squirrel for a grey day! (No Kingfishers though.)
I'm not really a fan of the Grey Squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis), as it's an alien species in the UK and responsible for pushing our native Red Squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris) almost to extinction. The Grey carries a deadly virus that the Red had no immunity to. It is also a lot bigger and more aggressive than out native Red.
There is hope though, as my friend Chris Wilson told me there is a chance a population of Reds has been found that has developed immunity to the virus, and this news has also been picked up by the BBC today. Fingers crossed!

Thank you for visiting,and I wish all my friends from across the pond a very "HAPPY THANKSGIVING!" :)
That's got to be the best visual weather forecast I've seen, forecast for tomorrow morning is wind gusting to 50 mph, heavy rain, the potential for thunderstorms, maybe some hail!

With rain in the forecast for six of the next seven days, I knew the day before yesterday that I had better go out for a drive. On top of that, my car had to be removed from the parking lot for a few hours, so that the annual cleaning could be done. I don't have street parking, so I don't have any choice other than to leave home. I don't know how much loud banging from the workmen there was all day that day, but I knew I couldn't stand it if I stayed home.
With the early start, I ended up at the Saskatoon Farm only minutes after they opened. Though I had little idea of where to drive for the day, I reckoned a good breakfast would keep me going for hours. A huge surprise when I got there was to discover that the only two other people sitting at another outside table (no indoor dining thanks to the pandemic) were my daughter (fully vaccinated) and one of her friends! The best sighting of my day.
For once, I didn't walk around the farm, but instead drove further southwards and called in at Frank Lake. No American White Pelicans that I could see and no Ibis. The Gulls and American Avocets were quite active, though, giving me plenty of photo opportunities. Drove a few roads around the Lake, mainly to kill time. At another wetland, on the way home, I enjoyed seeing a single White-faced Ibis, showing off its beautiful iridescence in the sunlight.

The forecast was for a warm day, highs of -2° C, and lots of wind. But somehow we dodged the bullet in the wind department and had a fine snowshoe. It's called Horton Hill because Tim Hortons has a summer camp at the base of this prominence, on the other side from where we were exploring. We had had a good dump of snow, likely more than 2 ft / 70 cm's, which made the snowshoeing good.
Despite a forecast of snow at Mount Victoria, there was none to be seen when NR19 and 8117 rolled through the area. NR19 and 8117 lead 3AS8, the Indian Pacific, past Mt Victoria downgrade towards Sydney.

I don't remember the weather forecast saying that we would be getting snow today, 28 October 2016 - I'm sure it only said rain. Anyway, it's snowing again this morning, with a temperature of 0°C (32°F) and windchill -2°C (28°F).
Usually, I don't have three long day outings within five days, except during the Christmas Bird Counts, but two days ago, I was lucky enough to go with friends, Shirley and Anne, for a day's outing SW and SE of the city.
We had a very early start, 7:00 am, and drove west of the city to start with, driving to the far end of Elbow Falls Trail (Highway 66). While at Elbow Falls, we saw a pair of American Dippers flying from rock to rock. They were vocalizing, too, which I had never heard before.
Though there seemed to be very few birds to be seen all day, we were so lucky to see a total of four Moose - two at each of two different locations SW of the city. It is always nice to see a Moose, and to see four in one day was a real treat. The second two were fairly young ones.
From Elbow Falls Trail, we drove down through the Millarville area and finally ended up east of High River. We found one of the Great Horned Owls that everyone had been following earlier in the year, along with a nearby little American Tree Sparrow. We did see a few Hawks, including this very distant Rough-legged Hawk on a hay bale and a very dark morph Hawk later in the day.
A great day, ladies - thank you so much for inviting me along and thanks so much, Shirley, for driving! Greatly appreciated. So glad we didn't have today's weather instead!
The forecast said something about partly cloudy conditions in central Oregon last night, so I figured that was close enough and headed out really late to see what I could find. Turned out to be a bit nicer than I had hoped, as the stars came out for a few hours, allowing me to visit this abandoned farm out in Wasco County for a bit. This barn is just barely hanging on, and I suspect it wont' be many seasons more before it is flat on the ground. Until then, I'm happy to photograph this remnant of Oregon history.

The forecast for today was a dark and dull one, but i took a risk to get some autumn photos in Brighton.

The Aurora forecast on the 6th of August was predicting extreme Aurora activity. Even though it was very early August and the night would not get fully dark I went out as the Aurora can be seen in deep twilight conditions. I saw the Aurora for a 1-2 minutes that night. I did not get a good picture of it though. Instead we witnessed this even rarer phenomenon called noctilucent clouds.
These are clouds that seem to glow in the night. They are the worlds highest clouds located in the mesosphere at altitudes of around 76 to 85 kilometers. They are very thin and only visible in deep dusk when the sun lights them from underneath and were first witnessed and recorded in 1885. Noctilucent clouds can be seen by observers at a latitude of 50 to 65 degrees north or south and in summer when the mesosphere is at its coldest (-120°C).
These clouds where extremely beautiful to look at and reminded me of the Aurora but where much more stationary and had this beautiful blue color. Some people where actually confusing these clouds with the Aurora as they were told about extreme Aurora activity that night. They where equally interesting to see and photograph as the Aurora.
The sculpture in the foreground is called the Sun Voyager. It is one of ReykjavÃks most iconic sculptures and represents a viking boat sailing into the sunset as can be seen on late summer nights. It is a very popular subject amongst photographers and some call it a cliché. Nevertheless it is beautiful and interesting to photograph.
Flickr friend johnnycanuck asked me if the cloudless California skies I photograph as backdrop to my architectural subjects are the norm....the answer is yes but, in the interest of fairness and to make those less fortunate than myself feel better, I should say that we do have our stormy days (see above). Yes, that is a cable in the upper right (we have to watch TV when confined to our homes during these storms!) www.youtube.com/watch?v=teXOPAFMOp0
Seems like it’s raining all over the world!

With another "mostly sunny" forecast for Monday, we decided to stay over Sunday night. Before heading for home in the clouds in the morning, we chased a round trip transfer from the Dever Street Yard over to the CN Island Yard on the east side of the city and return. The GP38-3/HBU-4 slug set is working hard up the hill from Harbour Station to the Reversing Falls bridge with 5 empty tanks and 11 paper loads from the Irving paper mill. As part of the city's gradual transition from a primarily industrial/port center to a more tourist oriented city the large Hollywood style "Saint John" sign in background on the top of the hill at Fort Howe was recently rebuilt complete with LED lighting.

Oh, boy, after tomorrow, we have four days of snow, according to the weather forecast, with around 15 cm of the white stuff. Not a welcome thought, after the brutal winter of 2018/2019.
Day 4, 22 March, of our 13-day birding trip to South Texas, 19-31 March 2019, was a day of birding and also driving from Rockport, where we had stayed for three nights, to Kingsville. The 9 photos I have just posted tonight were all taken on the beach at Mustang Island State Park. We had driven there from the Leonabelle Turnbull Birding Centre/the Port Aransas Nature Preserve. We loved the Birding Centre, getting great views of the various bird species, looking down from the new boardwalk that has been built after Hurricane Harvey destroyed the previous one in 2017. Lots of birds; even a huge Alligator.
We spent some time on the beach at Mustang Island State Park, watching and listening to the Laughing Gulls. They are such fun to watch and to photograph. The Royal Terns are so beautiful, always looking quite regal in their posture.
At one point, a man started feeding the Gulls down the beach, and they swarmed over and around him. Managed to get a couple of distant shots.
"Mustang Island State Park is a state park located south of the city of Port Aransas, Texas, United States on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico that covers 3,954 acres (1,600 ha) and has a 5-mile (8.0 km) beachfront. The land was acquired from private owners in 1972 and opened to the public in 1979. The island takes its name from wild mustangs that roamed the island which eventually succumbed to ranching in the late 1800s." From Wikipedia.
After our short walk along this beach, we continued our drive towards Kingville, where we were going to spend two nights at the Hampton Inn. We had time to stop at the Bishop City Park before we continued on to Kingsville. I still have more photos from Mustang Island State Park to finish, and then will add a few from Bishop City Park.
