For my next trick I'll predict how brexit will pan out
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 .

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
The groundhog predicted an early spring here in Ottawa. Right now we’re being hit by another big snowstorm and I’m not very optimistic about the prediction. I haven’t been able to take many photos with the frigid temps and cold this winter so I’ll be digging into my older files for a while.
Here’s hoping this little gosling will bring some luck and is taking his first tentative step forward into spring!
Have a great weekend Flickr friends. Tina and the Puglets xo
I would like to thank all of you that have taken the time to view and comment on my photos, it is very much appreciated.
Well it certainly took a little longer than the predicted 5hr journey time to get there. Nine hours with only one stop for coffee and recharge the battery for my phone.
Two bad accidents on the A19 and the M90 created tailbacks for over ten miles. On both occasions we stood still for over an hour.
So you can appreciate the delight the next morning, when we were treated to this beautiful sunrise behind the castle.
Named after it's Gaelic name, Dun Fhoithear, literally meaning "fort on the shelving slope"
As far as castles go, it's difficult to imagine a more remote and dramatic location than Dunnatar.
Perhaps with the most impenetrable position of all Scottish castles, this one sits on top of it's own cliff peninsular on the road to Aberdeen, defended on all sides by the forces of nature.
Dunnatar Castle also comes with a good dose of dastardly history with an intrepid mix of torching, smuggling and pillaging.
Add to this some seriously stunning scenery and vistas to rival the best.
There are 50metre high cliffs on three sides of the site. While those are pounded by the North Sea, the fourth is joined to the land. This section was once a peninsular, but it's access was destroyed in favour of a cliff pathway. As a result you can only reach Dunnatar via a narrow, twisting route that ends in a tunnel, making it one of the most difficult Scottish castles to get into.
Strong winds and rain predicted for today and this evening, so Marnie and I had a good walk this morning. Here's my goodbye to 2024.
To be honest, I'm hoping the weather will be bad enough this evening to put off lots of the fireworks, as they really do cause Marnie a lot of trauma, and therefore, me too !
Whatever the weather, have a good night and an even better 2025 my Flickr friends !
Thanks for all your support in 2024 -- so appreciated !

“If the oak is before the ash,
Then we’ll only get a splash,
“If the ash is before the oak,
Then we’re sure to get a soak”.
This West Country, (UK), rhyme, indicates that the tree that gets it’s leaves first, predicts either a dry or wet summer.
The ash trees in this photo were just beginning to come into leaf on 22nd of April, while the oak tree in the background already had a good covering of leaves. The oaks are usually one of the last trees to get their new leaves, this year they were very early. It remains to be seen how accurate the rhyme proves to be in predicting the summer weather!

Neowise was addicting for us and we found ourselves where the skis were predicted to be clear. We ended up at Carrizo Plains on this night and I was able to get both the setting moon and the Comet . The moon is actually just a crescent, but with the 10 second exposure it appeared fuller.
An interesting note: The Satellite WISE was launched from our very own Vandenberg AFB on 12/14/2009 for the purpose of Wide Field Infared exploration. In Sept of 2010 it ran out of the necessary cooling hydrogen for that purpose and went into hibernation. It was reactivated in Sept of 2013 to use the still viable camera to search for Near Earth Objects (NEO), thus officially being renamed to NEOWISE. It discovered the Comet which they also named NEOWISE in March of 2020.

I’d like to dedicate this shot to a good friend of mine William McIntosh. I have spent the last 4 months shooting as much as I can with Bill and trying to gleen info from him about his weather prediction skills and gain some insight about his frame of mind about photography. He is a master of weather prediction IMHO and I have always admired his tenacity which has netted him some absolutely fantastic captures from Yosemite National Park and the Pacific Northwest. Bill contacted me during the week to see if I was up for a Banzai run to Yosemite Valley as he was predicting a passage in the storm which would provide a high probability of misty/snowy conditions like seen in many of his postings from there. Of course Bill was right on the money as was shown from some of the webcams provided there. But unfortunately I had to decline as I was starting to get sick with the Flu and didn’t want to drag him down with me. Today he contacted me again to see if I was up for some shooting at Corona Del Mar but I was still trying to fight off the Flu and as painful as it was had to opt out again. Later, today, as I was digging through my folder of processed photos I found this shot and the pain of declination returned. Sorry Bill, I was more worried about getting you sick then worsening my own condition. LOL. Thanks for the invite my friend and hope you had a great day at CDM. If you would like to see William’s amazing photography, you can visit his stream here.

Tale of the Take…
This is a side view of the arch found at Corona Del Mar, If you wanted to get a full view through the arch you would need to scramble along the cliffsides base there at a specific tide level, I say specific because if you time it incorrectly you wouldn’t drown but you would have to spend a long, cold night on the rocks or call the Coast Guard to come “fish” you out which carries along an $800 dollar or better rescue charge. I’m still hoping that Bill will show me the specifics of entering here at a time that would be safe to enter and exit during the sunset. See what I mean about his tenacity. :)

I predict that the dividing line will not be Mason and Dixon's, but between patriotism and intelligence on the one side, and superstition, ambition, and ignorance on the other :-)

The weather forecast predicted a sea of fog in the morning, with a ceiling of 600 meters. I set off for the Belchen – a Jura hill offering views into the Swiss Plateau. However, I had bad luck with the weather. The wind was incredibly strong. Blurs of clouds raced past me as I reached the summit at 5 a.m. I unpacked my Shen Hao 6x17 cm camera. I had to hold the tripod steady to keep it from toppling over in the wind. To make matters worse, the light meter refused to work. But luckily, I had an app on my phone. You can see the result here.

So the consensus among the groundhogs who predicted whether we have an early spring or not, is that we will have an early spring. Although that made a lot of people happy, my husband and I decided we would go out and enjoy that huge dump of snow we got last week before it was all gone! We snowshoed part of the Bruce Trail at Burnt Point. It was an amazing hike. I cannot remember the last time the trees were so full of fresh snow. Truthfully, I am enjoying the winter!
This was taken on an early morning trip to high altitude when the geysers were at their most active. It's possible to get in very close and fatalities do occur, quite often when people are taking selfies. The timing of eruptions can be predicted to within a few seconds - a fascinating place. (PB160088)
Although a classic view, I really enjoyed taking the image and worth climbing over the fence for! :P
Whilst I was here taking photographs my sister and mum were at the visitor centre in Lulworth and when we later met up they told me a few geology facts. The archway would have originally been a cave that was eroded away over time. Geologists predict that over time, the roof of Durdle Door will be eroded away, leaving just a stack. There are several other limestone stacks along the coast. Although considering that Durdle Door was formed about 140 million years ago I'm guessing that neither us or any near decedents will ever see this.
It makes you realise that we are only here for the shortest blip and for most of the time this beach has been on the earth it hasn't seen humans.....
the predicted solar storm arrived on Friday night, it came with clouds over many areas luckily it cleared to see Strong Thermal Emission with Velocity Enhancement or STEVE and a picket fence

Packard was an American luxury automobile marque built by the Packard Motor Car Company of Detroit, Michigan, United States, and later by the Studebaker-Packard Corporation of South Bend, Indiana. The first Packard automobiles were produced in 1899, and the last in 1958, with one of the last concept cars built in 1956, the Packard Predictor.
North Thompson River
Kamloops BC
This is one of my favourite views of the North Thompson. You can see here that this stretch of the river really meanders a lot. The nearest bit of water, this side of the bridge, is actually an oxbow (a meander that got cut off from the actual flow of the river). Most of the year this is a shallow wetland and a protected riparian habitat.
Around the end of May at high water, the wetland will become part of the river again for a few weeks, The snowpack up in the mountains is at a very high level this year and so flooding is predicted. The City of Kamloops is making preparations for flooding and have advised property owners along the river to start making sandbags and other preparations now. Social distancing will mean that neighbours won't be working together on such tasks when it comes down to the crunch.
We're predicted storms today so I'll pop down to the coast to try and pick up some of the wild energy of the sea and wind. This is from a couple of weeks ago when a. hard frost gripped the valley. Oh Weather is by Damien Jurado
52 Weeks of 2022. Environment.
Dragonflies are an ancient family of insects. They have been around for 300 million years and predate the dinosaurs. There are over 5,000 species spanning all continents except the Antartica. They are important bio-indicators for environmental health both of water and land.
As predicted by this years "Finch Forecast" there's been a relatively healthy influx of Evening Grosbeaks into Northeast Ohio. I say "relatively" because the population of these beautiful birds has been declining in recent years thought to be a result of the destruction of large areas of their boreal breeding grounds. Let's hope this can be addressed to help keep the numbers from decreasing. A huge thanks to one of Cuyahoga County's most talented birders who discovered this lovely finch.
Taken while I was in Shetland, a very special encounter for me. The pair that breed on this loch are a particularly successful pair, having managed to raise chicks for a number of years.
They're very sensitive to disturbance and as such are protected by law and listed as a Schedule 1 species by Scottish Natural Heritage. These photos were taken under controlled circumstances and under the provision of a Schedule 1 license holder.
In Scotland, the Red-throated Diver is sometimes called the 'Rain Goose' because it is thought that it can predict the weather.
Summer in Melbourne was milder than predicted this year, and it seems like it is bleeding into autumn, for the weather is warming up and everywhere gardens are bursting forth with beautiful coloured blooms in a profusion of colours.
I took an afternoon stroll in the late summer sunshine the other day, and I walked past this beautiful "Julia's Rose" which is thriving in the well maintained garden of a stylish 1930s Art Deco clinker brick villa. This coffee coloured rose bush is a favourite of mine, as I love the shape of the flowers as they expand into full bloom.
Introduced in 1976 by Wisbech Plant Farm in the United Kingdom, "Julia's Rose" is an unusual colour blend of coffee, lavender and pink blushes on long smooth stems. A tall open bush, this rose repeat flowers often in clusters from October to May and in cooler weather can become completely coffee-coloured.
with a predicted 18 to 24 inches of snow hitting this week in North Dakota, it's nice to see some positive signs of spring...these flowers will get buried, but will survive, with the extra moisture, hopefully they will really take off and bloom more.
As predicted a CME (coronal mass ejection) sparked a strong G3 class geomagnetic storm yesterday. Thankfully it cleared after midnight and I was able to witness some very colourful displays, even seeing red rather than just what the camera picked up. The storm is ongoing with another possible impact to come. From Space Weather:
"The lights spread across multiple US states including Oregon, Minnesota, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Idaho, Montana, New Jersey and North Dakota. At maximum, the lights descended as far south as Colorado."
icm. 'sunrise chaos bayside"
In Queensland & NSW, Australia, we have massive bush fires burning - 55 fires in Queensland. 3 deaths, many homes burnt & thousand evacuated from their homes & predicted worse weather conditions coming on Tuesday. We've got unseasonably hot windy conditions & Brisbane has been blanketed with smoke haze which resulted in a firey red sunrise today.
I captured some (in focus) images, but I thought this icm image captured the chaos many must be going through at the moment.
Gratitude to all fire fighters & volunteers.
Update... 72 fires still burning across NSW. 150+ homes destroyed, 40 injured.
Tues 3 Feb 2009
Yes and they are invading us. Everything is munched away here.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=be_PT6ILs68&feature=related
Update: We are totally cut off from the south. Floods are so bad 3 hours from us. That means no food trucks getting through. Ingham is a large country town and being evacuated. Townsville is cut off as well. No access from inland either. No trains heading up. Only access is by air or sea I guess.
Oh all these poor people down there.
They are predicting TC Ellie will head out to sea again and reform. So much more flooding for the south.
Wonder how much tin food I have left in the cupboard??
They predicted wet and heavy snow from Winter Storm Riley. I think they nailed that one. The ground was bare and waterlogged when it started last night, and the temperature has remained above freezing, yet the snow has become quite deep by mid-day and is still coming down strong. I just saw a line snap outside my window, and there are broken branches in the back yard. It all looks quite beautiful though, with the big flakes coming down.
(update: This tree returned to it's upright position as the snow melted quickly, but another storm is rolling in already, Nor'Easter Quinn)
As predicted , we were greeted on our arrival in Te Anau, New Zealand, with very heavy rain and it hasn't stopped raining since. We had an early cruise at Milford Sound booked this morning. We were about 3/4 of the way there when we were turned back due to a landslide!
The upside of all the rain is the beautiful waterfalls it creates that cascade down the sides of the mountains.
As predicted, I was not able to document week two on the BRP last weekend...the storm really put a damper on those efforts.
And trust me, I seriously considered going up there but the weather was just too unpredictable to chance it...Planning to go this weekend.
Blue Ridge Parkway, Va
Stormy weather was predicted for this evening so I thought I would go for a drive and maybe shoot some stormy skies. I didn't leave soon enough because the storm started before I could get out of town or find a decent spot to pull over. I have never seen so much hail come down at once in my lifetime! The photos in the comments are what I could shoot out the car window when it started and then the hail in the street, after I was able to pull over and wait it out. This one was from my deck, about 2 hours after the first storm, and before the next one that's rumbling around out there right now really hits.

As predicted it was cloudy... in fact it was "light fog". I gave up waiting (and hoping) and headed 40 miles east where I managed to find a small gap in the clouds to photograph the eclipse in a tiny village with a nice old church. This explains the crosses.
I took this with my 10 stop Lee Big Stopper filter as it seemed the best way to deal with some of the risks of looking at the sun. I also used the LCD display.

A Gallic druid predicted the meeting of Mona Lisa and Napoleon, 400 BC. This memorable meeting took place at Waterloo, in 1815 and so Napoleon received from Leonardo an object capable of dynamizing communications. I am not authorized to say that it was an Apple cell phone designed by Da Vinci and made in China. And also thee was a revolutionary copy of Charlie Hebdo newspaper of which Mona was editor since remote times. Buthow is contact between people from different eras possible? Well, Albert Einstein said that time and space are relative, but what really intrigues me is: why did Napoleon always keep his hand inside his coat ?
The annual Liverpool Santa Dash event marked its 20th festive race in the city, with thousands of people donning their beards, hats and red (and blue) suits to race along the 5k route around the city centre in support of Claire House Children's Hospice. It is predicted that around 8,000 people took part in the charity event.
the course took runners through the Royal Albert Dock and onwards into the heart of the city and then on to the finish line outside Liverpool Town Hall.
After a rainy start to the day, the sun eventually came out for the runners, who made their way around the course dressed in a range of outfits. While most opted for the Santa outfit, others came as elves and there was even a grumpy Grinch in the mix.
The BTR Liverpool Santa Dash welcomes everyone—whether walking, jogging, or running. Wheelchair users and even tiny Santas in prams or pets are encouraged to join.
The weather was predicting clear skies in the morning, so my brother-in-law Bob and I headed up to Talkeetna to photograph the sunrise and see Denali, the highest mountain peak in North America. It sure was a good morning for it, with pink light hitting the mountain range and ice flowing down the Susitna River with mist rising from it. It was 6 degrees that morning, and my fingers hurt when they were thawing out, but it was worth it to see this sight. I could have raised the ISO to freeze the flowing ice's motion, but prefer the sense of movement. Talkeetna, Alaska, USA, November 2021

Went shooting yesterday when a big wind and rain storm was predicted but so far not much of either. Some leaves will hang on for Halloween. 🙆
On Friday, rain is predicted for Tucson, Arizona on Saturday afternoon. It arrived from Mexico early.

As predicted the hole in the sky let the arctic sun come flooding in. The whole feel of Lilliehöökbreen changed from brooding, steel grey to pure light, whites and blues. I made the decision to remain on the Plancius for just this zodiac trip out to see the glacial front due to my travelling partner feeling unwell and because the views over the glacier and the fjord I predicted would be "Otherworldly" as the sun appeared, I was right! Arctic landscapes in the arctic sunshine.
