Storm clouds over Freshwater Bay, Isle of Wight (UK). It started sunny this afternoon but soon changed to this weather. 15 Mins later..... Rain. Comments (good or Bad) welcomed. Thanks for viewing my images.
The best of a bunch of shots as the sun dropped below the cloud, no afterglow after the sun set below the horizon but a beautiful end to a very warm day.
Evening stroll on Freshwater east, lovely beach, but the light was rather flat. The paddleboarder did provide some interest.
Thanks for the views, faves and comments
Not sure which species this is - online identification resources are a bit limited. Forest Lake, Brisbane

A brisk morning at Freshwater, and a sunrise that showed a lot of promise, but didn't develop.
Can anyone see the turtle emerging from the rock?
It's mid-September and the weather is warm when the Sun shines but it is definitely chilly when it hides behind the clouds.
The chill in the air reminds us that Summer is drawing to a close.
Surprisingly there are quite a few people around for this time of year.
Now that the children are back at school the oldsters are making the most of it !
Pembrokeshire, thanks so much for your visits, comments and faves, you are all appreciated, happy week!
Australia’s freshwater turtles spend most of their time in rivers, lakes, swamps and ponds, including farm dams. However, they sometimes come onto land to migrate between water bodies or to nest. Some species can also survive for months in a dormant state buried in soil or dry lake beds. However, they are not able to feed out of water.
Nesting turtles dig a hole in the ground with their hind legs, lay their eggs in the hole, then cover the eggs with earth. A clutch may comprise as many as 25 eggs, depending on the species of turtle and her size. After a few months the eggs hatch and the hatchling turtles make their way to the water, where they typically take around 10 years to grow to maturity.
Little is known about the life span of Australian freshwater turtles, but they can probably live for 50 years or more.
The 'Freshwater' ferry gliding back to its home at Mort Bay (Balmain) for the night.
The 'Freshwater' is the biggest ferry on Sydney Harbour and travels each day between the city (Circular Quay) and Manly Beach.
Photographed from McMahons Point Wharf, on the northern side of the harbour.
In the distance, to the right of the ferry, is Wharf 2 at the Walsh Bay Wharf Precinct. This is the location of the 'No Public Access' steps.

Kingfishers are small unmistakable bright blue and orange birds of slow moving or still water. They fly rapidly, low over water, and hunt fish from riverside perches, occasionally hovering above the water's surface. They are vulnerable to hard winters and habitat degradation through pollution or unsympathetic management of watercourses. Kingfishers are amber listed because of their unfavourable conservation status in Europe. They are also listed as a Schedule 1 species under the Wildlife and Countryside Act offering them additional protection.

This endangered species is native only to Buttermere in The English Lake District. It lives at the bottom of the lake so is rarely seen. However for a few hours on the 1st April each year you can be lucky enough to spot them making their way up the waterfalls of Sour Milk Gill on their journey to mate in the deep waters of nearby Bleaberry Tarn. This cycle starts at Dawn and is completed by Noon when they should all be back in Buttermere. Viewing is best accomplished when they are midjourney.
Should you see them do not be tempted to handle them as their tentacles can give a very serious tickle!
