The weather forecast has issued flood and storm warning for the next couple of days so I went and took a few pictures of the remaining leaves on our trees ; I will miss the glorious Autumn colours ...
Our weather forecast was for rain, today, but thankfully no rain so far!! Therefore, I managed to jump in the car for a few photos and then back to watch the Wimbledon Tennis Final!!

Four days ago, on 20 July, I went for my first physiotheray appointment for my injured right shoulder. Apparently, I have a frozen shoulder as well as the completely torn tendons from my trip and bad fall in September 2022. Great physio assessment and treatment for an hour and a half, which included acupuncture, TENS, ultrasound, and suction cups.
Like in so many other places, and for so many other people, our weather has been crazy - either smoky, hot, or rainy - or all three at once. The other day, the smoke from our Alberta wildfires returned to the Calgary area. Almost every day the past few weeks, the weather forecast has included risk of thunderstorm, rain, sometimes smoke. Some days, the forecast turned out to be accurate, many days it turned out to be wrong. Anyway, on 13 July 2023, I needed to get out for a while. Also, I read that the berry U-picks at the Saskatoon Farm start on 17 July, which will mean that the parking lots will be packed, so I wanted to avoid that.
I hadn't been to the Farm since last year, perhaps a couple of months after September, when I had my bad trip and fall. During all the (7!) winter months, there was no way I wanted to be walking on snow and ice, given all the damage to my body from my fall, and definitely wanting to avoid any risk of slipping or tripping again! I really missed calling in at the Farm and having either a delicious breakfast or lunch. So, finally, I made myself do this on 13 July 2023.
It felt good wandering the grounds and walking through the greenhouse, taking a few photos. Fresh garden vegetables have started being available, but not yet broccoli, etc.. Knowing that I only wanted a light bag to carry back to the car, I chose a few white potatoes (delicious) and a bunch of golden beets.
After the Farm, I had planned to drive straight home but changed my mind and took the longer way back, via Blackie. The canola fields were just beautiful. A few birds were seen, including one of my favourites, a Wilson's Snipe. I had seen a Snipe at this location before, but it was not my more usual place.
The weather was a mix of Alberta wildfire smoke, wind, overcast, and rain (part of the time). Far from ideal conditions for photography, but I did my best.
The weather forecast had announced a rainy day, so I wanted to sleep in. When I woke up shortly after six o'clock and looked out of the window, I was surprised that the warm southerly wind called "Föhn" had blown a small strip between the cloudy sky and the horizon. In such situations you are either lucky and there is a gigantic sunrise or you are unlucky and the gap is completely closing until sunrise. Anyway, I did not want to miss the chance ...
After seeing the weather forecast I decided it looked promising for a sunrise shot at Snowdon. Up again at 3am I headed of to the national park . The sky was just getting the first hint of light so I began to walk up the miners track. Very slippery under foot in the -5 Temperature but thankfully there was not the same bitter wind as on the Friday. When the sun did come up the mountains slowly lit up a beautiful pink and I took this panoramic shot and yes that is the moon !
Weather forecasters are predicting minus temperatures for many in the UK tonight but Archie looks as though he should be just fine.
A decent weather forecast for Tuesday coincided with some interesting workings through Worcestershire. The west wasn't as full bling as the east with high cloud clearing sufficiently to illuminate this. This was a virtual repeat of what I went out for a couple of weeks back but with a syphon on the rear. The prospect of much better conditions was the reason for my second attempt at this location.
The weather forecast is clear so Greta and Max are taking a ride to the mountains to do some hiking. The autumn colors are at peak. They both love this time of year.

The weather forecast was for little wind today, so we took the Smith-Dorrien Highway through Spray Lakes Provincial Park to the Rummel Lake area. The trail to Rummel Lake is very popular, but we opted for the more challenging and less frequented Rummel Ridge. The views were sublime!
Weather forecast said "No rain on Sunday". Well...it was raining hard on the abbey, one of those heavy summer rains, on me too from my position on the foothills of the valley, but not between us where the sun was shining. The result is this contrast of colors and shades on the valley.
Cloudy, hot, humid, momentary views of the 2017 Total Eclipse that only will get to 70% in Houston. That's okay, we thought about flying to South Carolina or Tennessee but we decided it couldn't be any better than the one we saw at sea in November of 2012.
I can lie and say that I'm trying to spend time posting photos again but I'll be honest and say that life has become so much more interesting seeing and doing than just sitting at the computer. I'll be in and out. I have to check on everyone now and then. Forget me if you must but if you put up with me I'll be by now and then.
Looking at the weather forecast i had decided on an early start, which on reflection should have been the right thing to do...but regretably it wasn't as i was mostly up in the clag.I was not able to see all that much until i was well down from the tops and that was when the clouds rolled away to give me a view.
This is taken from the Miners track heading up onto the Glyders in Snowdonia, the hills you can see are those that make up the classic Snowdon "Horseshoe", with Y Lliwedd centre of picture Snowdon (Yr Wyddfa) the sharp pointed peak farthest away with another darker pointed shape of Crib Goch just in front of it and on the right looking highest Carnedd Ugain, a bit of an illusion really as far as looking at it from this angle as Snowdon at 3560 feet stands proudly as the highest peak in wales.
Contrary to the weather forecast, by 11.00hrs, the clouds rolled in and it was less than 10% chance of getting in sun. So after waiting patiently at Ais Gill, having dinner and watching the gloom, it was time to get into position at MP260 and hope for the best. Very much to my surprise, 37667 (D6851) works up to the summit wiith 1Z44 14.38hrs Appleby to Skipton 'Staycation Express' with low and behold, a shaft of sunlight lights the loco just as approaches. Lucky indeed but appreciated. 9th September 2020.

The weather forecast yesterday was for clouds and some sunshine. We are still looking for the latter, but it didn't stop us going for a walk in Stowe Gardens.
The Gothic Temple in Stowe Gardens was designed by James Gibbs in 1741 and completed about 1748. This is the only building in the Gardens built from ironstone, all the others use a creamy-yellow limestone. The building is triangular in plan of two stories with a pentagonal shaped tower at each corner. It is available as a holiday let through the Landmark Trust.
Stowe Landscape Gardens, which surround the late 17th century Stowe House in Buckinghamshire, date from the early 18th century and are a significant example of the English Garden style. They have been in the care of the National Trust since 1989. The 750 acres of landscaped grounds have 40 listed temples and monuments within them, as well as large lakes. A number of outstanding designers and architects worked on the gardens in the 18th century, including Charles Bridgeman, John Vanburgh, Capability Brown and Gibbs.

On 6 July 2015, the weather forecast looked good for the High River area, SE of Calgary. However, when I got there, the sky was overcast, the distant Rocky Mountains had completely disappeared, and the light was not good for taking photos. For some reason, all the birds, including the Ibis near the blind at Frank Lake, were unusually active, which didn't help!
There were three things that I thought I would try and photograph - yellow Canola fields, any kind of bird sitting on a fence post with Canola behind it, and an Eared Grebe with young ones on her back. Managed the first two, but there was just the one Grebe near the blind but too far to photograph when she had a single baby on her back. Luckily, this little Savannah Sparrow decided to land on a fence post at the edge of the road. I always love the way their yellow "eyebrows" match the colour of the Canola bokeh. I was also lucky to find several close White-faced Ibis at a slough NE of Frank Lake. So, just a short trip, but an enjoyable one.
Today, 5 September 2015, I had planned to go on a birding trip with friends to the same area, but the weather is dreary and raining, so I went back to bed instead. One great thing I read just now about our weather for this coming winter, is that we are forecast to have another mild winter, which would be wonderful!
The weather forecast for today was rain, we desperately need rain, everywhere is crumbling to dust, the rivers and lakes are drying out and most of the country has been declared to be in drought, there’s talk of water rationing coming soon…..so the forecast was looking good….however there’s been no rain, there might have been some drizzle overnight as the roads were wet this morning but that had evaporated by eight o’clock and with temperatures of twenty c and above any moisture in the air isn’t enough to condense into rain.
The weather forecast was for very high winds in the mountains, and so we settled on exploring Brown-Lowery Provincial Park once again. A lovely walk in the woods and out of the wind!
The weather forecast for the morning was calling for rain all over Shenandoah. But I knew what that means: solitude, quiet forest, and the sound of rain. I also knew that there will be no vistas and, probably, I even will not be able to pull out my camera and dare to expose it to the elements. Nevertheless, I wanted to experience the side of the Park, that a few people are willing to see.
I slowly drove Skyline Drive, stopping on overlooks and taking short walks here and there, until finally I arrived at one and discovered that the tree, that I usually considered an obstacle to the view, turned into my favorite subject of the day: the sleeping giant, wrapped in the fog and rain. The Dormant.
The weather forecast for the Lune Gorge on the day this shot was taken noted "Full Sun & Blue Skies", but this never materialised. Anyway, here we see a Virgin Trains 390/1 Pendolino passing through the Lune Gorge valley working 1M09 from Glasgow Central to Euston on the morning of the 25/3/16 during a very brief moment of sunshine. Note the recent installation of Palisade fencing in the Lune Gorge which has disappointingly ruined the landscape.
When I checked last night, the weather forecast called for a 30% chance rain this morning, so I was pretty sure there would at least be some clouds in the sky. Of course when my alarm went off at 5:00 am, I hit the snooze button and had the usual "Should I get up or not?" debate with myself.
This was my third Saturday in a row at Kirby Cove. The last two times I got skunked. This time I stood in the rain for roughly 45 minutes waiting for sunrise and making use of the integrated rain cover on my camera bag. I noticed a promising break in the clouds on the horizon, so I patiently waited for the the sun to peek through.
Shortly after sunrise the sun did indeed appear and briefly flooded the scene with warm light. During this time it continued to sprinkle on-and-off. I fired off a few quick exposures in between furiously wiping my filter with a micro-fiber cloth, and was lucky enough to capture this particular exposure with not a single water speck on my filter.

The weather forecast was for clear skies today, so we thought we would try to see if we could spot some of the Snowy Owls which migrate from the Arctic to this area for the winter. Alas, no owls were seen, but I was able to capture some interesting scenes regardless...

I was waiting for the string to curl as we had the hottest day here in about 20 years! 37°C
#12508
Woke up an hour before my alarm clocks went off, after just three hours' sleep, so thought I would quickly add one photo. Just checked the weather forecast for today - a high of -2C (windchill -8C), wind 37km/hr with gusts of 52 km/hr, and snowing. Do I really want to go out in this, lol?
On 21 August 2018, it turned out to be such a great day, with some much-appreciated sightings. I must have spent about 8 or 9 hours driving and almost every inch of my body ached like crazy at the end of it. Now, each summer, I try and do two or three longer (for me) drives, making sure I don't lose confidence to get there.
Weather-wise, it was around 24C, so not too hot. Yes, it was still smokey from the British Columbia wildfires, making distant hills barely visible and deleting mountains from view, but it didn't have too much effect on closer photography.
It was a good day for Hawks, seeing three on the way south and a few on the way home. I almost missed two Swainson's Hawks, as the hay bale they were standing on was way out in a large field. At first, I thought there were three hawks together, but when I stopped to take a few photos, I realized that there were only two - one looked almost like two hawks close together, but then I saw that it had its wings mantled. I guess it wanted to make sure that the second hawk behind it couldn't steal any of the food from it.
A lone Common Nighthawk also helped make my day. For several years, I had longed to see one of these unusual birds and, finally last year (2017), I managed to find four of them. That time was almost two months earlier than my recent find, so I wasn't expecting to see any in late August. I would still love to find one lying on a wooden railing rather than a metal railing. Last year, I got a photo of one on a fence post, but the angle was not the greatest. These birds are 9½ inches from the tip of bill to the tip of tail.
"On warm summer evenings, Common Nighthawks roam the skies over treetops, grasslands, and cities. Their sharp, electric peent call is often the first clue they’re overhead. In the dim half-light, these long-winged birds fly in graceful loops, flashing white patches out past the bend of each wing as they chase insects. These fairly common but declining birds make no nest. Their young are so well camouflaged that they’re hard to find, and even the adults seem to vanish as soon as they land." From AllABoutBirds.

"North America has 13 nighthawk populations. All but one are in decline and the species is considered threatened in Canada and several U.S. states."

A Horned Lark, a Western Meadowlark juvenile, and a Vesper Sparrow gave me the chance for a photo or two, and a lone hawk I spotted way in the distance was a Ferruginous Hawk. A happy sighting, as these hawks are so few and far between.
The weather forecast predicted rain, rain and more rain for the weekend, so when I noticed a brief break in the clouds early this morning, I grabbed my camera and drove off in search of a composition or two... I didn't find much...
I processed this in B&W just to be different... :)

The Weather Forecast was for lots of sunshine and little cloud, So a trip back to Gloucestershire to hopefully photograph Short-eared Owls.
However the good light failed to turn up. It was a lot cloudier than expected.

On an iffy weather forecast, got my passport out and headed to North Wales to record three railtours, along with some chill time too. On arrival at Rhyl, weather was better than I expected and got the first of the railtours in reasonable light. Passing the closed Rhyl No Signal Box, Class 20's No 20189 and 20142 on Vintage Trains 'NWCE' 1Z20, 07.55hrs Tyseley Loco Works to Llandudno, were there was the annual Victorian Extravaganza weekend. 30th April 2022.

It's been a strange but nice Saturday. The weather forecast had predicted a cloudy day, with possible rainstorms in the afternoon. Nothing strange, it was the trend of the entire week. My summer vacation were going to end, and It was my last chance for a serious hike. I left the house at 6 AM and I started to hike on the trail that leads into Otro valley. Cloudy sky, but the clouds were high and it was windy. I did not know where I wanted to go. In the end, following a tradition of the last five years, I thought I had to reach Zube pass, despite the elevation gain, almost 1.800m (5,900ft), and the lack of a serious training. I had been at Zube at the end of every summer since my child was born. On the top of the pass there is a small chapel of the Virgin, dedicated to the protection of families all over the world. I am not a religious person, but that small chapel, in that place, always had a sort of mystic call for me. If the weather was bad, moreover, I had already taken so many shots up there, in the previous years, that I would not have cried for the missed photographic opportunity.
Thick clouds started to roll in at 8.30 AM, but they created an effect that was similar to thermal inversion, that is much more common during fall and winter. At an elevation of 2.400m (7,870ft ) the clouds were below my feet, and the summits of the high mountain were all there, clearly visible.
I reached Zube pass, 2.876m (9,436ft), at 9.30AM. Three hours and an half, not that bad at all. I was there, and I was alone, with a breath taking view. Despite the fact that you can use two cable lifts to shorten the trail (but starting from other valleys), and in the good season many people hike to the pass, I was the first one to reach the summit.
I have many shots with the most spectacular summits of Valsesia (and I will post many of them in a time to come), but I choose this one because it reminds me of how long the trail is.
I stood up there for an hour, with the Virgin, without caring of the temperature, that was close to Zero Celsius, and the fact that I had just a light jacket, shorts and a bottle of water. Probably the major discomfort was for Mary the Virgin, alone up there with a sinner and an unbeliever... but the Maker has a lot of pity.
E' stato un sabato strano, ma simpatico. Le previsioni del tempo avevano previsto una giornata nuvolosa, con possibili temporali nel pomeriggio. Niente di strano, è stato il trend di tutta la settimana. Le mie vacanze estive stavano per finire ed era la mia ultima possibilità per una camminata seria. Sono uscito di casa alle 6 del mattino e ho iniziato a fare un'escursione sul sentiero che porta nella valle di Otro. Cielo nuvoloso, ma le nuvole erano alte ed era ventoso. Non sapevo dove volevo andare. Alla fine, seguendo una tradizione degli ultimi cinque anni, ho pensato di raggiungere il passo Zube, nonostante il dislivello, quasi 1.800 m, e, molto peggio, la mancanza di allenamento. Sono salito a quel passo alla fine di ogni estate da quando è nato mio figlio. Sulla cima del passo c'è una piccola cappella della Vergine Maria, dedicata alla protezione delle famiglie in tutto il mondo. Non sono una persona religiosa, ma quella piccola cappella, in quel luogo, ha sempre avuto una sorta di mistico richiamo per me. Se il tempo fosse stato brutto, per di più, ho già fatto così tanti scatti da lassù in altre occasioni che non avrei pianto per l'occasione fotografica mancata.
Le nuvole spesse hanno iniziato a farsi vive alle 8.30, ma hanno creato un effetto simile all'inversione termica, che è molto più comune in autunno e in inverno. Ad un'altitudine di 2.400m erano sotto i tuoi piedi e le vette più alte erano tutte lì, chiaramente visibili.
Ho raggiunto il passo Zube, a 2.870m, alle 9.30. Tre ore e mezza, non così male alla fine. Ero lì ed ero solo, con una vista mozzafiato. Nonostante sia possibile utilizzare due funivie per accorciare il sentiero (salendo però da altre valli), e nella buona stagione molte persone camminano fino al passo, sono stato il primo a raggiungere la vetta.
Ho molti scatti con le vette più spettacolari della Valsesia (e ne posterò molte in un momento a venire), ma scelgo questo perché mi ricorda la strada fatta.
Sono rimasto lassu' per un'ora, con la Vergine Immaccolata. Senza preoccuparmi troppo della temperatura, che era vicino a Zero, e del fatto che avevo solo una giacca leggera, pantaloncini e una bottiglia d'acqua. Probabilmente il disagio maggiore e' stato per Maria, sola lassù con un peccatore e un miscredente ... ma il Creatore è misericordioso.
Weather forecast for today: Volcanic ash and foggy rain. Well not actually, but somewhere up it's hiding our sun.
Tulip pistils can be this beautiful after all the petals have gone.
The weather forecasters got this one right. The clouds are dumping a ton of water on Toronto this afternoon, as predicted. The only question is whether it will turn into a thunderstorm. It's quite exciting to watch from the shelter of our front porch. I wouldn't want to be cycling or even driving in it. :-)
D1944 (47501) 'Craftsman' and D1935 (47805) 'Roger Hosking MA 1925-2013' head north after a booked stop in Taunton with the 1Z52 06.37 Exeter St Davids-Bristol Temple Meads "Pembroke Coast Express" excursion. Steam would take over the train from Bristol for the journey into Wales and onwards to its terminus at Camarthen.
Early morning charters originating from the South West are quite rare; the West Country usually seen as a destination for several operators. Coupled with an exceptional weather forecast and a pair of BR Green duffs, it was definitely not an opportunity to be sniffed at! This was my second shot of this train, a generous schedule and a particularly long stop in Taunton enabled me to get back in front of it - www.flickr.com/photos/135352375@N08/50174610656/in/photol....
Weather forecasts not conclusive, so decided to go local in case it turned out unsuitable. We shouldn't have worried the light was great and didn't cloud over until early afternoon. This was our first stop 'The Pool' in Melbourne South Derbyshire.
We think these are related, brothers probably, they are nearly always together and share food that they have dived for. We have seen this behaviour many times, but this is the first time I have managed to capture it without one obscuring the other.
The weather forecast was iffy, and we considered hiking another day. THANK GOODNESS we went, because it was a perfect day's hike: not too hot, not too cold; a little breeze to keep things fresh; and a trail with snow nicely packed down, but not icy. It was a bit unusual for us, because we could see from the cloud movement there were big winds afoot, but this time, they were from the north, and we were completely sheltered from them the entire hike. An odd thing happened as well. Early, we met a fellow descending on a mountain bike. He looked a little worried, because he lost track of his dog Cypress. When we returned to the trailhead, we saw that his car was gone, so we're assuming there was a happy ending to his story. Total return distance, 7.4 km's, total elevation gain, 706 m's, moving time, 2 hrs, 27 minutes; total time, 3 hrs, 17 minutes.
The weather forecast promised a sunny start to the day, followed by thunder and lightning. I had time to bike down to a nature reserve, where I went for a couple of promenades. My first walk took me though a pasture. It was fun to shoot some macro photos, been a while since I last did that.
The weather forecast said full sun no cloud till later ! wrong .

The weather forecast said last night we might have snow during night...yes, it was that cold and the sky looked dull and clouds looked suspicious...
So the first word when I got up this morning was "Snow?"
No, luckily!
No, unfortunately!
Actually I was thinking to shoot some macro shots with first snow in this season to upload on Flickr. Next time ... :)

The weather forecast for this afternoon looked like cloud, cloud, cloud, and nothing but cloud, and as such, I decided not to go hiking across any fields, so settled for my least favourite lineside location here at Barby Nortoft. As it turned out, there were a few holes about, and GBRF 66727 appears with 4M23 Felixstowe-Hams Hall, a fraction of a second before a lump of cloud started to eat away at the sun!
24th August 2017
At that day, weather forecast was as wrong as could be. They told us that above 2000 m we should have clear sky above a sea of clouds and best distant view. The truth in reality was a thick high fog starting at around 2000 m altitude or even higher :-)
The humid air came in from south ovest, so I went to the western dolomites on my way back home. Val de Mesdi at Kolfuschg is a wonderful place that I love and the clouds were beginning to wrap the higher mountians, anyhow there was some fascinating blue shine over the little vallley. I took several single shots for some panoramas with different focal length, each of them has its own charm in my view given the different angles of view.
This is the widest one. 4 shots from the tripod were taken with the 50 mm lens (which would be 32 mm for 24x36) and merged in photoshop.
After checking the weather forecast I see the summary for the last Saturday in August is "strong winds and rain". It's been overcast, chilly and rainy for most of this last week now and so, desperate for some sunshine, it looks like I'm going to have to stay with the holiday snaps from last month (which increasingly seems like a very long time ago.
Here's another view of one of my favourite subjects – St Michael's Mount looking just stunning as always, especially in the warm Cornish sunshine.
