The Stena Forecaster berthed at the P & O terminal in Dublin Port while on charter to them for their Dublin-Liverpool route.
The forecast says it will be 12 on the weekend, a record high in southern Ontario. The warm winter rain has washed away most of the snow from after Christmas.Fall or winter? you tell me. By the way, I don't like snow shovelling!...Enjoy viewing this in larger image or press L.

and is kind of sunny right now but the forecast today is for snow...
I'm paying to see that =/
Today is going to be a long day just because I have to go to the dentist...

In this open landscape of the Charente Maritime the weather can change very rapidly from bright sun to storm - with dramatic light effects.

The forecast was for a very pleasant afternoon in mid-March so we set up a small group shoot at a parking garage in downtown Boise. The weatherman lied. It was bitterly cold, windy, and then it snowed a bit. The poor models froze but toughed it out.
Sammy is a real trooper - she is definitely petite but full of adventure. She was shivering almost the whole shoot but never complained - and she looked beautiful doing it. I love shooting with her and we just click. The cool thing about this shoot was right at the end Sammy was so cold she grabbed her dog blanket for the car and we made it work - and it kept her warm. Life is good!
It was a cold and misty morning, graced by a cloudless sky which had been forecast.
Just before the viaduct, southbound trains crawl through Seaton Tunnel, where there is presently a 10mph temporary speed restriction. I had to watch carefully, as the first thing I would know of an approaching train would be the headlight shining through the mist.
I had screwed my 'bean bag' to the camera, and rested it on the branch of a tree to prevent blur - the shot being taken with the lens at full zoom of 300mm. The camera was reluctant to auto focus, there being very little contrast, and several attempts were needed to get the shot, despite several trial shots working fine!
The loco is above the 5th of the 82 arches that make up the longest viaduct in the UK.

I've occasionally been lucky enough to take the helm of canal narrowboats. So I was mightily impressed to see how well the helmsman of Alfons Marie negotiated two 90 degree plus a draw bridge within just a couple of hundred metres.
The main photo shows the barge leaving the raised bridge and passing in front of Sneek's Waterpoort. This was erected in 1613 to connect city and harbour. It formed part of the city's defensive walls, but when large parts of these were demolished in the early 18th century, it was fortunately decided to leave the Waterpoort intact.
One of the photos below shows Alfons Marie approaching the draw bridge having made a 90 degree starboard turn. The other photo shows how she has completed a 90 degree turn to port having successfully negotiated the narrow passage.
The basin may look large but with so many other craft around in high season, this was far from a simple manoeuvre for such a large vessel!
Partly cloudy.
High (80%) chance of showers, becoming less likely later tonight.
A thunderstorm likely, possibly severe with the risk of damaging wind gusts, large hail and heavy rainfall that may lead to flash flooding.
Winds northeasterly 20 to 30 km/h becoming light in the evening.
The forecast for Northern Lights was looking excellent so I decided to drive north of the city to see what I could see.
As I was driving I could see a Red Alert email from Aurora Watch, so I thought I was in for a good show.
No moon until after midnight, clear skies, no wind. Couldn't be better.
And I got there.... and nothing :(
There must have been a good show somewhere, but not from here.
I got a few shots of the stars at least so it wasn't a total waste.
Another bonus was a coyote sang me a little song for a short time.
An early start for the Duchess seen idling through Huyton, alas on a slow signal again. A pleasant morning and not what was forecast thankfully
The Saturday morning forecast was for showers, so I headed out to take advantage of a dry spell.
Facing east from Kelley Point, a City of Portland park, the Columbia River is busy with activity on Saturday morning, with a tug boat pilot steering grain vessels to load up and then head in the opposite direction to Japan, S. Korea, China, and also to Egypt [the hard wheat grown in the Columbia River Basin is ideal for making noodles].
This great and powerful river now has many major dams [see maps] and with that has interfered with the salmon fishery. Government has stepped in, but with marginal results. Salmon and a predator, a harbor seal, both listed as endangered, are protected, but with tens of billions spend on salmon run restoration, the seals eat salmon like grapes.
Other interests along the river include the native peoples, electricity producers and consumers, agriculture, transportation industries, and recreational fishermen/women, and sailors, canoe and kayakers,, wind-surfers, etc.
Kelley Point is at the confluence of Oregon’s other main river, the Willamette River, flowing from South to North and meeting here.

In the days before weather forecasts were on every mobile phone we made do with the BBC weather forecast, to be fair localised mist and fog is difficult to predict but when you are standing there and your expected train arrives it was frustrating! It is amusing to read the poster warning passengers that their new and wonderful Sprinters had button operated doors.
33040 peers through the fog as it draws to a halt at Nantwich Station, it was working the 05.33 Cardiff to Crewe service.
33040 was built as D6558 by BRCW, it entered traffic 10/06/1961. It was withdrawn 14/05/1993 and scrapped by M.R.J. Philips at Stewarts Lane

The forecast for this morning wasn't very promising so we decided to stick close to the car. Moab is famous for dinosaur fossils so we wanted to check them out. We went to Mill Canyon to see the Dinosaur Trail - we bounced along a short rutted dirt road with sandy washes - glad we had the Outback. The trail itself was ok but not as good as we expected. There were many signs describing what we were looking at but you really need a vivid imagination to actually see the fossils. After that we decided to head out to the Fisher Towers, reached on Utah 128, a very scenic road that heads NE out of Moab toward Castle Valley and Colorado. Fisher Towers were great but we knew we were not going to have much of a sunset (when the Towers turn bright red) so we checked out some of the side roads in the area. Great choice. The first stop was a boat launch on the Colorado River. Great views and the clouds were ideal for HDR shots. Next stop was near the Onion Creek (?) Road. We found an equine trail and Heather darted off to a nearby rise for a better view. Another great choice. By then the wind was picking up, the temps dropping, so we decided to head to the Moab Brewery for the chicken wings happy hour. Not a bad day at all!
I took these photos in early March 2020.
Sunday, 16 February 2020: our temperature this morning is -7C (windchill -9C). Sunrise is at 7:47 am, and sunset is at 5:54 pm. Forecast is for partly cloudy with a few snow flurries into the afternoon.
After my complicated, time-consuming drive in the city two days ago, yesterday, 15 February 2020, was another challenge. A group of friends was meeting at Griffith Woods for a morning birding walk. I had avoided several previous walks there, as I knew that I would have to face the absolute nightmare of road construction that side of the city. They are building a massive Ring Road around the whole city. This is causing an absolute nightmare for drivers, to put it very mildly, and will take a few years to complete.
Most of my drive would be on familiar roads, but I knew the last part would not be pleasant. They desperately need some new road signs and signs that are accurate. On the drive to the park, I found myself in the wrong lane, heading north on Sarcee Trail. Thankfully, there was no traffic coming towards me, and I was able to cut through some muddy ground and large, orange barrels and quickly continue in the opposite direction. I couldn't tell where I was going - the whole landscape has changed - and was so relieved when I saw a sign pointing to the road to the park.
Our walk gave us a few very nice sightings, with a male Three-toed Woodpecker being the highlight. It was a long way away, so I don't know how someone was able to spot it. It was also good to see a Tundra Swan hanging out with a group of Canada Geese in the creek. A lone White-tailed Deer female was a happy sight to see, too.
After our very enjoyable walk, I arranged to follow friend, Tony, out of the whole area, as I knew I would never be able to find the correct roads. Thanks to a sign that said "South Sarcee", we found ourselves heading north on that road. My friend kept driving further and further north, and I suddenly wondered if I might be following the wrong car! A few more roads and turns and I was more than happy to see familiar Crowchild Trail. Shortly after reaching home, an email arrived, about the "scenic route home". No kidding, ha! At least now, if I ever tried getting to this park again, which is highly unlikely, I would have some idea of how to get home.
With Thursday's forecast of rain, I took a drive out to Warburton in the hope of finding some nice little streams to escape the heat and photograph. It was hot and sunny when I arrived and it wasn’t long before that rain forecast soon became a torrential downpour. It was the perfect way to cool down in the 30~ degree humid heat.
During the last night a temperature low of 5-7C was forecast so the grass frost this morning was quite a surprise for us.
Image taken earlier today at the entrance to our garden. Apricot-shade begonias are still flowering and many dramatic leaf colours of autumn are now arriving. Seasonal colour change in leaves is especially provided by our acers and azaleas and will increase during the next 7-14 days.
We look forward to taking more garden photos during the next few days.
Furthermore we will be delighted to share our garden with visitors when we hold our autumn garden for charity on Saturday 19 & Sunday 20 October 2019 from 10am - 5pm. All funds raised will go to the ngs (National Garden Scheme) charity.
We are proud that in May 2019 we received 1080 enthusiastic visitors during our weekend opening, raising more then £4000 for the ngs charity.
Over the years since May 2006 we have been amazed to welcome more than 15,200 visitors to our garden open days.
Apart from the UK, we have been honoured to receive garden visitors from 41 countries :- Australia, Bahamas, Botswana, Brazil, Canada, China, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Eire, Eritrea, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Haiti, Holland, Hungary, Iceland, India, Iran, Italy, Jamaica, Luxembourg, Malaysia, New Zealand, Poland, Romania, Russia, Slovakia, Slovenia, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Thailand, Turkey, Ukraine, Uruguay, USA and Vietnam.
We have been working with Macmate on a new replacement website for our Four Seasons Garden. Although work is still in progress in some areas of the new website, we are delighted to announce that new website has now been launched. It has the same URL as our previous website:
Please let us know if you have any problems accessing or using the site or if you have any suggestions about possible further improvements to our site .

It was supposed to be raining. And blowing. Don’t let anybody forecast failure for you. Just show up and see what happens.

On 30 August 2021, I decided, after seeing rain in the forecast for a few coming days, to do a long drive NE of Calgary, to the Badlands. Knowing that it was getting dark earlier and earlier in the evenings, I knew that I was running out of days on which I would be able to do these long drives. My main destinations to call in at were in the Drumheller area.
I had longed to go out there for so many years. It must have been 30+ years ago that I first saw one particular area of the Badlands of Alberta. A few times, I had been fairly close when I went on several botany trips out that way, but when you are carpooling, you can't just go wherever you want. So, on 29 September 2014, my youngest daughter and I decided that we both wanted to make this trip. Since then, I believe I have only driven that way once more, on 5 August 2019, until this most recent trip. I was out for nine hours and much of that time was actual driving. The further east I went, the more I felt like I was in the middle of nowhere.
Amazingly, the weather was good, with blue sky most of the time. It still seems strange to see blue sky and not overcast and smoky from the British Columbia wildfires. I think the temperature got up to about 28C, so not unbearably hot.
The first thing I photographed was a rather attractive moth, resting next to my front door outside. It may have been the moth that I had photographed earlier, on my bathroom ceiling.
About half way on the drive, I drove several back roads to take another look at an old barn I fell in love with last winter, while searching for a Snowy Owl. I was shocked and saddened to find no sign of the old barn except for a pile of wood that had collapsed or been pulled down. Maybe it was becoming dangerously unsafe in the farmyard.
Feeling somewhat 'down', I continued on my way and eventually stopped to take a handful of photos of a fine church. It seems so out of place on the prairies. The church building, inspired by a typical Danish church, was finished in 1936, though there has been a church on this site since the first settlers arrived in Dalum in 1918.
Two new-to-me grain elevators were enjoyed and quickly photographed. It's not very often that I find one that I have never seen before.
A couple of times, I stopped to take a few photos of wild Sunflowers that were growing at the edge of two or three gravel roads. An attractive moth was at rest on one of the flowers. Insects seem to really like these bright and cheery wildflowers.
It was a pleasant surprise to discover that there were not a lot of people at the Hoodoos. I have been there when there were endless crowds of visitors all over the place, making it difficult to take photos, and to find a parking spot. These natural "works of art" are so beautiful and interesting.
Driving further south, I stopped at one of my favourite places - an old almost-ghost town. Here, there are two lovely old country churches, old barns, old cars and tractors/farm equipment. Also, a very old, extremely weathered grain elevator that lost its roof in a storm a few years ago. Such a shame that it has never been replaced. I love the Badlands setting for this prairie sentinel.
A final place to call in at was The Last Saloon, where I bought some Sweet Potato Fries 'to go'. This is a very popular place, including with motorcyclists.
Having left home in the morning a few minutes after 9:00 am, I finally reached home about 6:00 pm, happy and tired out. A great day, full of lots of things to see. Though they were all familiar, they are always fun to see and photograph again. Hope to get in another drive or two in the next couple of weeks, before the snow arrives and stays on the ground for seven months! Where did the summer go?!
This site, also, is within walking distance from my home. It's a big one.

They forecasted mist for yesterday morning, so I got up early. It was my first try in these conditions and I found it quite hard to get the exposure right. The dynamic range is quite hard to capture.
This shot was taken at the Vondelpark, only 5 min by foot from my house, so getting there was quite manageable at this horrible time. The Vondelpark is the “Central Park” of Amsterdam. For more info:
