The prediction was that pearlescent clouds would be visible on Christmas Eve, but unfortunately too much and too thick clouds, so no pearlescent clouds.
De voorspelling was dat er parelmoerwolken zichtbaar zouden zijn op Kerst avond, maar helaas iets te veel en te dikke bewolking, dus geen parelmoerwolken.

that's something you can google. sadly, in our town, it applies to great ideas for renovating failed sites which, in the end, fail themselves. we're still waiting for this one to live up to promise. the red paint is a start and we do like the grazing goats. but where are the creemies?
The predictions for a dry winter didn't pan out. We hope this will prevent more forest fires this summer. This peak lies above and outside Ski Santa Fe boundaries. 12,404ft, taken at about 11,700 from across the cirque.
The country saying, “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”, refers to which tree gets their leaves first, as a prediction of how much rain we can anticipate during the summer. Most years they tend to be neck and neck, but this year the oak seems generally to be the winner, time will tell!
On my fifth day the weather predictions for coming days were awful and I decided to go into the direction of Roros (and later Trondheim), but first I drove along the E27 because it was said to be very scenic. I think that might be true, but with all the rain and darkness, I probably missed the most.
This amazingly beautiful viewpoint was spoiled (in a way), because with sun this is truly spectacular (www.nasjonaleturistveger.no/en/routes/rondane), and it crossed my mind many times I should go back if the weather in Norway turned better and I was around. Unfortunately it didn't so one good excuse to go back!
Norway, a stunningly beautiful country. Around every corner a chance for a scenic image, forcing me from time to time to stop every kilometer to get out of my car, sometimes with screeching brakes, and sometimes forcing me to curse because there was no place to stop.
Lovely valleys, bare mountains and cold winds, snow packs, glaciers, beautiful lakes, and then there are the enchanting fjords that never stop to amaze. The most beautiful country of Europe, for me no doubt about that, with only one minor aspect, which is the weather. During my month of traveling I only had 4 really nice days, the rest of the time clouds, rain, and very changeable! Still no regret, and I will go back to make even more than the 3500 pictures that I took this time.
Another very active vacation that took me to the south west up to Trondheim in a sort of triangle between Oslo- trondheim and Bergen with the whole route visible here (www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10153668247101759&set...).
Prediction of rain will not hurt these beautiful Forget Me Nots so “Let It Rain”. It’s the middle of April so we expect rain most any day. These present such a soft touch to a garden. Thanks for viewing my work. The rains will not effect Gratitude and Kindness. Enjoy your Spring.
This is for my Flickr friends who rarely or never get to see snow where they live. We are under a winter storm watch as I type this. However, the earlier prediction of 5 to 8 inches has now been reduced to 3 to 5 inches. I'll be happy with the minimum. Still, I must say I totally enjoyed watching this little red squirrel this morning as it busily tunneled under the snow and then suddenly came popping up to look around (and maybe catch its breath!)

Seems like just a few weeks since I set out this Halloween decoration in my side yard. Not visible from the street, it was one of those things I did more for myself. I just liked the way it made me feel to encounter this eerie specter when I walked back by the edge of the forest. More than once it startled me as I had completely forgotten about it. Over time it had weathered to the point where it totally blended in with its surroundings. A very organic look that suits my mentality much more than the highly contrived decorations commonly associated with holidays.
If Halloween marks the onset of the dark phase of the year in the northern hemisphere, Groundhog Day certainly delineates the return of brightening. The actual groundhog 'prediction' is meaningless to me. It's really just a time marker; a waypoint on the journey of life. Day length is increasing noticeably. Springtime is roaring upon us just as rapidly as Halloween is receding. I suppose it's time to take down this celebration of darkness and begin to embrace the light. Then again I might just let it go for another week or two.
I had special permission to go shooting, I knew light would be special, there was many layers of clouds(I could see). Also, the web site prediction was showing RED on us. This is it, I was starting to think I would never see again those special ray of light !!!
A friend of mine, who also happens to be a former colleague, celebrates her birthday today. A few months back, she left her high-paying but highly stressful job (these always go hand-in-hand, don't they?) to focus on family and things that she really wants to do. It's a story I'm so familiar with.
And so today's photo is for her and for the many others who seek new beginnings, better life choices, and more hopefulness in this generally unpredictable world... myself, included.
♥ ... The prediction of our fate torments me ...

I fled to Trondheim because of the weather predictions, and although it was not that bad, I spend two days strolling around in dull grey weather. BTW Trondheim is a nice city with an old center, and very nice places to discover. At the end of a long day (the 7th) I went back to my campsite, a little disappointed, and when I had dinner suddenly the sky opened! I realized I had to go back because the spot in this picture should look great with the sun out. The clouds here are a bonus.
Although I was very eager to see them ASAP, I decided back home in Holland not to speed towards the coast on my first day because weather predictions weren't good for a while. So I took the detour of which you have seen a few shots already. Trondheim fjord is not the classic fjord shot, but this is a rather nice view, and I was lucky the sky opened a little bit before closing again. It's Norway.

With predictions of the "storm of a generation" and a "bombogenesis" snowstorm for much of North America - for us directly, its a flash freeze, up to 100 km winds, and blizzard warnings, I'm mindful of all the people making plans to visit family over the Holidays. Please be careful! We've done more than our share of traveling over the years but this time, I'm grateful to be staying home. To all my Flickr friends, I sincerely hope you have a wonderful and safe Christmas!
Predictions for this day were snow on the Veluwe...
After a long expedition we arrived at the Veluwe near Doornspijk...
I have a decent camera but it wasn't able to notice the snow...
There seems to be a lot of berries this autumn, some believe this means that it will be a hard winter - HBW!
I see bright colours after five dull days, So, today is gonna be a lovely day. That's my prediction !. But, I heard people say "You can't predict English weather."
The glass has been falling all the afternoon,
And knowing better than the instrument
What winds are walking overhead, what zone
Of gray unrest is moving across the land,
I leave the book upon a pillowed chair
And walk from window to closed window, watching
Boughs strain against the sky
And think again, as often when the air
Moves inward toward a silent core of waiting,
How with a single purpose time has traveled
By secret currents of the undiscerned
Into this polar realm. Weather abroad
And weather in the heart alike come on
Regardless of prediction.
Between foreseeing and averting change
Lies all the mastery of elements
Which clocks and weatherglasses cannot alter.
Time in the hand is not control of time,
Nor shattered fragments of an instrument
A proof against the wind; the wind will rise,
We can only close the shutters.
I draw the curtains as the sky goes black
And set a match to candles sheathed in glass
Against the keyhole draught, the insistent whine
Of weather through the unsealed aperture.
This is our sole defense against the season;
These are the things we have learned to do
Who live in troubled regions.
(Adrienne Rich)

Weather predictions for southern Australian states this weekend are for an icy blast with lots of snow in the high country and some helpful rain for farmers who have been in a significant drought. Let's hope what would be fairly normal at times during winter in fact occurs. Skiers and alpine resorts will be happy too.
We had a Snowy fall this morning as well at the back of our place when in the middle of Galah breakfast, a flock of 18 Sulphur Crested Cockatoos arrived with a massive combined screeching and settled all around. Well, with that noise the Galahs all took off and haven't been back. If neighbours were not awake, they soon would have been but except for 1-2 occasionally, we don't feed the Sulphurs although we love them to bits.
Here are a few of them. It was a rush to grab a camera and get this image before they all headed off. For those who see our occasional bird shots, you will know that we call the ones who do get a few seeds Snowy I and Snowy II.
Note the one with its beautiful sulphur or lemon crest raised!
