Thursday, 21 May 2020: our temperature at noon is 5C (windchill -1C). Sunrise is at 5:37 am, and sunset is at 9:29 pm. Heavy rain continues, which adds to the melting snow coming down from the mountains, resulting in a risk of local flooding.
Yet again, it is such a wet, miserable day here today, 21 May. We are in for another rainy day tomorrow, so I'm not sure when I will be getting out anywhere, though I actually did get out briefly yesterday morning - to the car dealership! My 15-day wait for a car repair appointment ended, thank goodness, but they were unable to find anything wrong. One of the staff told me that she had just changed the power-start button in the same vehicle model as mine, for another customer. That was what I had wondered about, too. So, they are ordering in the right part for me and then will need to have my car in overnight. Luckily, it is still under warranty. Sooner or later, though, I will be seeing birds and other welcome things again, something that has happened on just a few scattered drives during the last two and a half months.
On the way home, I called in at Pies + Cafe to pick up several meat pies, quiche, chili, and fresh fruit salad. This little cafe uses fresh ingredients and is a favourite of mine. It is so important to support local small businesses, as they are all struggling at this difficult time.

I am adding the description that I added under a previously-posted photo taken on the same outing, to remind myself of where I went and what I saw.
"Two days ago, on 16 October 2019, I really did luck out with the weather. Knowing that I am running out of time before the next snowfall happens - we've already had two, one in September and one so far this month - I reckoned it was now or not to make another long drive. The place I wanted to see again was way NE of the city. I had been there only once before, on 29 September 2014, and that was just a brief visit. My daughter and I had arrived there around 4:00 pm after a long day, and I wanted to get back home before it got dark (out of luck), because of poor night vision. Also, having spent the day at two other places plus lots of driving, I was in too much pain to walk around Rowley. I was determined to see everything this visit.
After leaving home at 9:15 am, it took me almost four hours to get there, as I kept stopping to take photos of the clouds and any old barns that I came across. On the return journey, I think I only stopped once and that was to take a few zoomed-in (Focal Length (35mm format) - 1600 mm) photos of a favourite old house. It is so far away, surrounded by rolling hills, that it is barely noticeable. There had been no obvious change over the last five years, which was good to see. It is so decayed that one can't help but wonder how much longer it will remain standing. I could have posted the original image, but I decided to add a touch of filter in post-processing, to bring out a bit more detail. The first time I saw this old house was on 18 July 2016, when my daughter and I did a bit of exploring NE of Calgary. Then, on 17 September 2017, after noticing snowflake icons in the weather forecast for Calgary, I decided I would do a similar drive, but not quite as far this time. It was nice to see it again two days ago.
There is very little information about this house to be found on the Internet, but I will add links to several things I did find, for my own memory and just in case anyone else is interested in the history of this place. So sad to see any old house, barn or shed fall into such decay.

On the drive to my destination, I called in at a small village/hamlet that I had been to with my daughter back in 2014. There was an old building there that was easily photographed from the road, which is what my daughter and I had done. However, for once, I actually knocked on the owner's door and asked if it was OK to photograph her old grain elevator, meaning from the road. However, she very kindly told me to go over to it and take any photos I wanted. This grain elevator is a different style from what one usually thinks of, when 'grain elevator' is mentioned. I like it, and it is quite a fine building.
I am so glad I finally made myself do this drive, despite feeling sick to the stomach at the thought of driving so many kilometres that were unknown to me. Thankfully, I made it without getting lost, without running out of gas, and arriving home at 5:45 pm before it started getting dark. A great day!"

Expect four days of heavy rain--that was the weather forecast. It was accurate for the first day. Yesterday, the second day, the weather vacillated between a sort of lazy drizzle and scattered cloudiness. In case the rest of the forecast was accurate, I decided to take a short walk along the creek during one of the less cloudy periods.
I had an unpleasant moment with a feral cat, saw a pair of deer looking at me with that 'who invited you' look, watched a brace of Canada Geese make a hash of landing in the creek, got lots of mud on my shoes, and made it back to the house just as the rain began again. I call that a successful walk.
The weather forecast for NW England for the next few days is wet and windy, so many of these autumn leaves will be blown away over the weekend

in the country when the animals lay down or low to the ground rain is always on the way...they feel the humidity...
A decent weather forecast was predicted for Tuesday last so I looked at optimising the potential for rail images reasonably local to me. Using my friend Mark B's loco list I noted an opportunity to repeat a shot I had gone for previously but in much better conditions. I had expected this to already have passed when I arrived so casually looked at 'cams' to note this was already approaching! I didn't want to deny a well lit opportunity so dashed out of the car to just grab this.
With good weather forecast in the capital in mid-June 2021, the opportunity was taken to photo the buses at Marble Arch and along Park Lane. Five of us enjoyed catching up and snapping the comings and goings in a near normal busy London.
The four major open top tour operators were out in force and carrying good loads throughout the day. Big Bus, Golden Tours, TOOT bus (The Original Open Tour) and newcomer Julia Travel (City Sightseeing / Stagecoach) brightened up the scene. A single London Bus example was spotted all alone at Victoria.

The official weather forecast seems accurate and there is some stuff on it's way. The change in the light was astounding around mid-afternoon as seen here.
A very odd day in more ways than one as I had to spend a couple of hours unblocking our main drain to the road, about 30 metres away and all in hot sunshine. Clearing the blockage was unpleasant obviously but fairly quickly resolved. It is the clearing up afterwards that takes the time. Just thought I would share that with you!
The weather forecast for the area in Maryland where I photograph Bald Eagles called for partly cloudy skies but as I made my way down route 272 through the Lancaster County countryside, the clouds took over the sky and it was quickly 100% cloudy. Not exactly perfect Eagle photography weather. But I continued onward anyway. Sometimes you get something in your blood and you know you have to be someplace special with animals nobody else you know in your 9-5 day job is seeing. The Susquehanna River in Maryland is just such a place.
This Adult Bald Eagle gave us a pretty good look as he flew over us. I decided to enhance the cloudy sky with a texture by Flickr member, Fractal Artist called 203 Clouds. Thanks to Fractal Artist for the free use of the texture.
For more information on Bald Eagles, visit the Cornelll Lab Of Ornithology.

Opinionated weather forecasters telling me it's going to be a miserable day. Miserable for who? I quite like a bit of drizzle, so stick to the facts.
70 years ago, the Weardale Railway lost its passenger service on 29 June 1953. A good few years before innovations like this class 122 might have saved it (unlikely in my view).
In what locals referred to as - "the pissing rain" - E55012 sits outside the old Harperley station.
It has been pretty grey the past few days so when the weather forecast last night indicated a dawn 'partly cloudy' condition, I made a note and decided to get up early and head over to one of my favourite places, Fifty Point (which lies on the Western boundary of Grimsby, Ontario where it meets up with the Eastern boundary of Winona, or more correctly these days, the regional City of Hamilton), on the off chance of getting a sunset with lit-up clouds. When I awoke, it was still early (read dark) and I checked on-line for cloud cover distribution. It looked like two gaps in an otherwise totally overcast Southern Ontario where right overhead and the other a bit to the East, a recipe for some nice light, if you get lucky. So I headed off to the beach at Fifty Point. Fortunately, it was warm for this time of year, more like Spring rather than typical mid-December conditions, so I simply hung around on the beach shooting periodically as the light changed. Unfortunately, the light I really wanted did not materialize. But I still got some nice images and also a reason to return when the conditions warrant.
The wooden structures are groynes. They were built to help stabilize the shoreline and reduce erosion. This view looks roughly NorthEast. The shoreline along the right of the frame is not just the Grimsby shore along Lake Ontario, but, if you look closely, a higher section which is the Niagara Escarpment. The groyne has been lightly light-painted using a high power LED flashlight. - JW

PP in free Open Source RAWTherapee from Nikon RAW/NEF source file: scale image to 9000x6000, adjust exposure to set it to as-shot, darken slightly using the L-A-B lightness and also increase chromacity, slightly increase black level, increase vibrance, apply micro-contrast, sharpen, apply noise reduction, save. PP in free Open Source GIMP: slightly increase contrast, sharpen very slightly, save, scale to 6000 wide (my preferred size for prepping and image to be posted on-line), sharpen very slightly, add fine black and white frame, add bar and text on left, save, scale to 1800 wide for posting.
The weather forecast was favorable so I planned on driving up to Mt St Helens for a little hiking and photography. The strong winds convinced me photography was the better option. This is a photo of Coldwater Lake with Minnie Ridge at the head of the lake. Note the whitecaps. Coldwater Lake was created by the eruption of Mt St Helens.
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.
Yesterday, 18 September 2023, the weather forecast was pretty good, though the mention of wind did concern me a little. However, as time is running out for making long drives, I decided to take the risk. Shortly after leaving home and just out of the city limits, I could see smoke haze hiding the distant hills. I was so tempted to turn around and return home, but instead chose to continue.
Most of my driving was on the main roads, in order to get to my destination as quickljy as possible. The total drive of 473 km took me eight and a half hours, between 8:30 am and 5:00 pm. Much as I would have loved to check out a few back roads, I knew I absolutely had to get home before the light started fading. The wind was strong and stirred up all the dust from the roads and fields and made it a real challenge to take photos. All my images were taken from inside my car and, even then, the rocking motion made things more difficult.
The small ghost town, that I was so keen to revisit yet again, had to be seen from my car, because it was too windy to walk, which was a shame. Fortunately, I have photos taken from a couple of previous visits. If I remember correctly, this was my third visit - the others were in July 2020 and August 2022.
Once I reached the ghost town, I was the only person there. It is only a small place with a handful of old buildings, but very nicely kept. One of its main buildings is a small, country United Church, kept in great condition both inside and out. I had read online beforehand that people can go inside the church and sign their Guest Book, otherwise I probably would not have gone in. Really like the door knobs to the front door. The link below gives a very interesting, detailed history, including an old photo of the church in 1980, before restoration. I would love to have seen it back then.

As well as the old ghost town, I also wanted to check on a favourite abandoned house - simple, old and leaning. It was a relief to find that it was still standing.
From there, I took more or less the same route home, Too late in the season for wildflowers. Very few birds to be seen, too, though I did see four hawks that were too far to photograph. Fortunately, I still had a little gas left in the gas tank. Always a concern when I do a long drive.
Despite the strong wind and the smoke haze, it was a good day. SInce then, we have had a tiny bit of rain, and I noticed that the golden leaves are already falling.
Today the weather forecast was for it to brighten up but it stayed murky all day. I met with Tony in the usual place to walk the Pevensey Levels it was muddy but not as bad as it had been on my previous visit. So although the cameras stayed firmly in our bags for most of the walk however we did manage some images. Here are my five 2 of a Marsh Harrier two of geese and one of the Great White Egret!!.

I was beginning to feel like I was missing the entire Autumn due to being at work all the time and when my week off came up (I deliberately booked my October holiday for when the school kids aren't off), the weather forecast looked to be terrible. As such, I resigned myself to the fact that I probably wouldn't be getting any long walks done this week.
However, that hasn't stopped me getting out most days for some Autumnal photography. These photos were taken on Wednesday when low mist and thick cloud hung over the landscape. Despite the poor weather, the colours in Dura Den were looking wonderful and since the road is still closed*, I didn't have to stand here for ages waiting for traffic to pass by.
*the road has been closed since October 2012 when flooding washed it away (caused by Fife Council refusing to clear a backlog of woodland detritus that had built up behind an old dam). It took two years and two months before the council finally got the contractors in to start fixing things.
The road has now been rebuilt and the contractors have left. However, it's up to Fife Council to finish the job so I guess we'll be waiting another three years for it to open. Maybe if I told them Dura Den was in Kirkcaldy, they'd get on with the task at hand and stop forgetting we exist?
weather forecast was wrong so I ended up riding in T.607s. Armwarmers had to stay on as we had no suncream.
.... sunny with spells of rain!! Although, this was taken a couple of days ago that weather forecast stands for today!! Most certainly cooling down!!

Thanks to everyone who views this photo, adds a note, leaves a comment and of course BIG thanks to anyone who chooses to favourite my photo .... Thanks to you all!
The weather forecasters had given us a bum steer on this day. The 'bright and sunny' turned out to be bright for 30 seconds then completely overcast for hours and a bit cool. I took a few pics, but the monument just melted into the sky and there were so many people taking selfies etc. We wandered along the prom and visited the Belém Tower and had some lunch, overlooking the water. After we ambled back, the sky cleared and I took this. Much better!
Taken with my Fujifilm X-T30 II camera and a XF18-55mm lens.
The weather forecast was for sunshine, but in Scotland it is so unpredictable. Depressed with the weather, I was ready to head home, when a break in the clouds allowed for some interesting shots.
The weather forecast was spot on today. After a grey start and light rain it would clear and it would be a sunny afternoon, so I planned for a late trip to the Somerset Levels. What the forecast missed out was a warning about the big squalls and the sudden and ferocious gusts of wind. So I wait.... and was reward with lovely conditions.

The weather forecast for this morning was that we would have sharp frost first thing. However we woke up to heavy rain showers and sunny spells which gave us some very good rainbows. But it is freezing hard at the moment so we could have a wintry scene tomorrow !
Yesterday the weather forecast was for cold so I opted for layers including this very warm Norwegian sweater. I met my coffee buddy, went to target and the post office. The sun was shining brightly and there was very little wind so the day was quite pleasant.
In the evening I was visiting via Skype with a friend who is leaving for Florida on Thursday. She suggested that take a photo and post it on Flickr so, here it is.
56103 powers through Burbage Common on 4Z20 Chaddesden - Long Marston passing 4L93 Lawley St - Felixstowe.
Shame about the Liner but the train runs a similar path tomorrow from Humberstone Rd - Long Marston but slightly earliar and with a bleak weather forecast , Typical !!
Weather forecasters are calling for the storms to be in southern counties and moving in a north easterly direction. Good for me and well; not so good for others. I decided to visit a parking garage not too far off from downtown in order to capture some rather eerie clouds. I slowed the shutter down with a neutral density filter. I kinda like the results.
The weather forecast suggested mist but a change of plan was rewarded with a great sunrise over Curbar Edge.

The weather forecast meant I was expecting a day of rain, so looking out the window at blue skies changed my plans.
High tides and clear skies meant the river Medway was a wide ribbon of blue. The Medway valley footpath was extremely muddy though.......
ps - the rains came later - but luckily I was home by then.
Weather forecast was nice for the weekend, and I tried long exposure session of the comet for more than 3 hours.
The comet was drifting toward west a bit northward in Virgo. It got bigger and brighter than before. Dust coma was round and small. Dust jets were visible toward north northeast and south southwest in short exposure frames, and the dust area showed not round shape but longer toward north northeast and south southwest. Dust tail got clearer and longer than before toward east northeast. The shape was like a "," comma in total at the night.
Ion activity was detected faintly. The area had greenish tint in color enhanced frame.
Here is a frame of the comet taken on March 7, 2024:

Here is a view of the site and my equipment at the night:
Not able to get out this morning, but the weather forecast offered an afternoon of full sun.
By the time we were able to get out the sky was still overcast and grey, but the weather forecast was still promising afternoon sun.
We decided to go to one of our newly found sites in Northwest Leicestershire and searched the area we have been watching, nothing was flying.
After searching for about 20 minutes under still overcast and grey skies we found a single Brown Argus roosting on an ear of grass. I took this and other shots before moving on.
These shots were taken with the Canon R7 body.
Chestnut sided warbler, Rondeau Provincial Park Oct 8, 2017
Setophaga pensylvanica
On the wintering grounds in Central America the Chestnut-sided Warbler joins in mixed-species foraging flocks with the resident antwrens and tropical warblers. An individual warbler will return to the same area in subsequent years, joining back up with the same foraging flock it associated with the year before.
