It was pretty silly of me but I had to get out of the car and look at the sky and there I was standing in the road taking shots of clouds. They fascinate me sometimes and I just cannot resist.

Our first clear night after a few days of heavy rain and the local river is flowing over its banks. The LE imparts a stillness to the water, but it was charging out, B&W f pro 10 stop ND.

Even the clouds took off on the last hike we had when Mark was home this time.

Fun to see symbols in nature.

This sure looked like a flying bird.

I was ambushed by this impressive storm as I was out on a walk in the countryside. I made the mistake of thinking that after all the rain I'd encountered so far, I was now probably safe - and then this appeared from behind the trees I had just emerged from. It also produced quite a bit of lightning and thunder, so in the end I had to duck and stay close to the ground for safety's sake.

Unique cloud formation, caught by my smartphone.

the clouds today were so pretty :)

A cloud towers over the causeway just before dawn in Jensen Beach, Florida. See this, and more, on my website at tom-claud.pixels.com.

Had a night in the Peak District at the weekend. Not much time for photography though, and weather wasnt the best. This is about the only bit of light that happened!

Clouded Yellow : Colias croceus

The local winter inversion has been fairly consistent over the last couple of years; the fog rolls in and settles for about a week. This makes it fairly simple to plan an evening photography walk out to a favourite viewing spot.

This year the opportunities have been elusive. When I am unavailable or don't expect it, the fog suddenly arrives but doesn't stick around. When the forecast calls for it and I pack my camera bag, the fog fails to materialize.

This week I finally went up to try out my backcountry ski gear. It hasn't been used in at least 2 years! There were hints of fog creeping in after work so I returned for my camera bag hoping I could go for a photography walk after skiing. But after an enjoyable skin up Seymour Mountain, the city was still clearly visible below.

I didn't realize however that East of Vancouver, the Fraser Valley was completely enveloped. Halfway down the mountain there is a decent viewpoint and I curiously parked there. The clouds were further away than my regular vantage but I pulled out the tripod and took a couple of quick shots. The thickness of the clouds led me to plan for a trip up the following evening. But the low clouds dissipated throughout the day and nothing was left to shoot.

In an effort to share photos more frequently than last year, I pulled this one from the Wednesday snaps. It was converted from RAW, added a little brightness, contrast, and removed some digital noise.

‘Beware the Blackthorn Winter’ is a country saying about a spell of cold weather in early April which often coincides with the blossoming of the blackthorn (Prunus Spinosa). The pure white of the blackthorn blossom matches the snow or hoar frost covering the fields nearby and almost invariably bitter north easterly winds. The longer days and sun gaining strength at this time of year often give a spell of warmer weather - but then the Blackthorn Winter comes along and reminds us it’s not quite summer yet. Statistically, we are more likely to have snow at Easter than at Christmas.

A Blackthorn Winter can be described as the opposite of an Indian summer.

Blackthorn white blossoms appear before the leaves, creating a contrast against the dark smooth thorny branches. The blackthorn flowers eventually become purple sloes, ripening in autumn and harvested traditionally in October or November, after the first frosts, and used to make a Sloe gin liqueur.
