I took this in November, when we still had colour in the backyard. Taken from inside with the sun coming through the blinds.
HSS!
We're in the midst of the snow storm that was predicted - not going anywhere today.
Last storm to come today, as predicted. We will have a series of three storms over a four day period. Hopefully the drought in CA is almost over! This was taken from our deck which took us over five hours to clear. It is always so peaceful when a storm ends, and the snow is always appreciated.
"Le ciel rouge à la fin du jour, du beau temps prédit le retour."
Proverbe cévenol
Le ciel de feu est un phénomène naturel qui peut se produire partout dans le monde, mais certaines zones géographiques sont plus avantagées que d'autres : l'embrasement du ciel dépend de la situation météo et de la composition de l'atmosphère à cet instant précis.
"The red sky at the end of the day, the good weather predicts the return. " Cévennes proverb
The fire sky is a natural phenomenon that can occur anywhere in the world, but some geographical areas are more advantaged than others: the sky's blaze depends on the weather situation and the composition of the atmosphere at that particular moment.

The weather forecasters are predicting that we might get some winter weather in the next few days, so far we have got off relatively lightly . I doubt however it will be as cold as Arctic Norway this was taken around lunchtime in December and whilst there was no sunlight, the snow does make it appear brighter then I was anticipating . The light has an unusual blueish tone through the short Arctic day .

We had gorgeous sunshine when arriving at Siglufjordur in Iceland's North, but suddenly lenticular clouds started forming and we knew we would get a storm and three hours later we were sitting in the very thick of it.
The groundhog predicted an early spring here in Ottawa. Right now we’re being hit by another big snowstorm and I’m not very optimistic about the prediction. I haven’t been able to take many photos with the frigid temps and cold this winter so I’ll be digging into my older files for a while.
Here’s hoping this little gosling will bring some luck and is taking his first tentative step forward into spring!
Have a great weekend Flickr friends. Tina and the Puglets xo
I would like to thank all of you that have taken the time to view and comment on my photos, it is very much appreciated.
08-november-2021: in the beautiful mountain environment between "Sella Nevea" Ski Resort (1162m a.s.l.) and Plains (1551m a.s.l.) of mount "Jôf di Montasio" (2754m a.s.l.), the summit in the background of this shot.
A migratory bird that is famous for appearing just before the start of the rainy season. In the countryside, people still predict rains by its sightings. It migrates all the way to Africa and comes back to India just in time for the rains and of course, the breeding season.
This is a brood parasite and lays its eggs in other birds nests. It would eat one of the hosts eggs and drop its own in them. This bird prefers Bulbuls, both Red Vented and White throated, tailorbird etc.. for hosts - all of these birds are in their nesting season now.
The area I visited y'day had maybe 3-4 of these and the place was quite active with small birds that are perfect for these Cuckoo's to lay their eggs. They were flying around slowly picking up food from various bushes and maybe surveying the area.
Thank you so much in advance for your views and feedback.
A windy, foggy day at the beach in Ocean City, New Jersey.
BUT all day rain had been predicted, so it was all good.
AND any day at the beach is all good by me......
We were all walking the boardwalk after lunch,
and no one was waiting for me and my camera....
they just kept walking.
I didn't want to get lost so I snapped shots on automatic as I tried to keep up!
Well it certainly took a little longer than the predicted 5hr journey time to get there. Nine hours with only one stop for coffee and recharge the battery for my phone.
Two bad accidents on the A19 and the M90 created tailbacks for over ten miles. On both occasions we stood still for over an hour.
So you can appreciate the delight the next morning, when we were treated to this beautiful sunrise behind the castle.
Named after it's Gaelic name, Dun Fhoithear, literally meaning "fort on the shelving slope"
As far as castles go, it's difficult to imagine a more remote and dramatic location than Dunnatar.
Perhaps with the most impenetrable position of all Scottish castles, this one sits on top of it's own cliff peninsular on the road to Aberdeen, defended on all sides by the forces of nature.
Dunnatar Castle also comes with a good dose of dastardly history with an intrepid mix of torching, smuggling and pillaging.
Add to this some seriously stunning scenery and vistas to rival the best.
There are 50metre high cliffs on three sides of the site. While those are pounded by the North Sea, the fourth is joined to the land. This section was once a peninsular, but it's access was destroyed in favour of a cliff pathway. As a result you can only reach Dunnatar via a narrow, twisting route that ends in a tunnel, making it one of the most difficult Scottish castles to get into.
Strong winds and rain predicted for today and this evening, so Marnie and I had a good walk this morning. Here's my goodbye to 2024.
To be honest, I'm hoping the weather will be bad enough this evening to put off lots of the fireworks, as they really do cause Marnie a lot of trauma, and therefore, me too !
Whatever the weather, have a good night and an even better 2025 my Flickr friends !
Thanks for all your support in 2024 -- so appreciated !

“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”.
This West Country, (UK), rhyme, indicates that the tree that gets it’s leaves first, predicts either a dry or wet summer.
The ash trees in this photo were just beginning to come into leaf on 22nd of April, while the oak tree in the background already had a good covering of leaves. The oaks are usually one of the last trees to get their new leaves, this year they were very early. It remains to be seen how accurate the rhyme proves to be in predicting the summer weather!

Wishing everyone a cheerful weekend! I am hoping the warmer temperatures predicted for us will bring out a few more Warblers to the park this weekend. It has still been unseasonably cool for us. But I noticed there were black flies hovering me when I walked in the woods today!
I predict that the dividing line will not be Mason and Dixon's, but between patriotism and intelligence on the one side, and superstition, ambition, and ignorance on the other :-)

The weather forecast predicted a sea of fog in the morning, with a ceiling of 600 meters. I set off for the Belchen – a Jura hill offering views into the Swiss Plateau. However, I had bad luck with the weather. The wind was incredibly strong. Blurs of clouds raced past me as I reached the summit at 5 a.m. I unpacked my Shen Hao 6x17 cm camera. I had to hold the tripod steady to keep it from toppling over in the wind. To make matters worse, the light meter refused to work. But luckily, I had an app on my phone. You can see the result here.

With a calm sunny day predicted I hoped the weather would suitable for some fall reflections. It was, and soon the brisk morning gave way to a bright autumn day.

Gazipasa
The unknown or predicted history of Gazipaşa goes deep within the historical perspective. In general, this historical adventure begins in the 2000s BC. The Luwians, a branch of the Hittites, lived in the region that the Hittites called the Kizzuvatna (Çukurova region) and Arzava (Antalya region) countries. Since Gazipaşa is in this region, it is highly probable that the historical journey of the district started with the Luwians - Hittites. As a matter of fact, the lion remains in the ruins around Karatepe (Sivaslı) confirm this information.
Another important milestone in Gazipaşa's historical journey is 628 BC. There are two cities in history with the name of Selinus. Selinus, which was founded as a city-state at this date by the Greek Cave-Hyblaia people in Sicily, and Selinus in the south of Anatolia. It is a port city established in the Cilicia Region and on both sides of the Hacımusa (Kestros) Stream. Its castle, on the other hand, is at the location of the current castle ruins and was an island at that time. From here, maritime trade was carried out with the trade centers of that day, especially Egypt.
The city, which passed from the Greek administration to Roman rule in 197 BC due to Antiochus, was built in AD. In the 1st century, the Roman King Trojan, who went on the eastern expedition of the Mediterranean coast, got sick and came to the port of Selinus and was the guest of a merchant's house. Hadrian, who would succeed him on the throne, came to Selinus and took the corpse to Rome, and had a tomb built in commemoration. For this reason, it is known that Selinus was called Traianapolis for a while, and in the Christian period, it was the Episcopal center affiliated to the Archbishopric of Seleukeia - Silifke. The period of the Roman Empire, which started in the 1st century BC, continued until the 6th century in Gazipaşa, which is within the Anatolian borders of this state.
M.S. Starting from the 6th century, the Southern Mediterranean was dominated by the Byzantine Empire, in the first half of the 12th century, it was attached to the Armenian Kingdom of Cilicia, and in the period of the Turkification of Pamphylia together with Gazipaşa, Antalya and Alanya, Selinus became the ruler of the Seljuk Sultan Alaaddin Keykubat I in 1221. In the year 1225, Alanya was started to be known as Selinti because of the fact that the five big streams that originate from the Taurus Mountains and flow through the city center and mix into the sea from here until 1225 cause floods from time to time. However, the conquest of the Seljuks, except for Alanya, was short-lived and the Armenians, who took advantage of the defeat of Gıyaseddin II by the İlhanlılar in the Kösedağ War in 1243, recaptured this place and remained in their hands until the conquest of the Karamanoğlus in 1275. During the Mongolian invasion of Anatolia in the 1270s, Selinti was located within the borders of Konya and its affiliated regions of the Anatolian Seljuk State.
During the period of Anatolian principalities, Antalya and its surroundings remained in the Teke Principality since 1335, while Alanya, Selinti and the eastern and northern regions came under the rule of Karamanoğulları, whose center was Konya.
Gedik Ahmet Pasha, the Commander of the Naval Forces (Captain Derya) of Fatih Sultan Mehmet in the Ottoman Period, took Alanya in 1470 and Selinti, Anamur and Silifke regions in 1472 from the Karamanoğlu Principality and included them under Ottoman rule. Famous traveler Evliya Çelebi states on page 126 of his famous Travelogue, "In the 18th century, Selinti accident is a town within the borders of İçel (Mersin) with 26 villages connected to Silifke Sanjak and paying a tax of 80 coins annually. It is surrounded by well-kept mosques and houses by the sea. It has lush green mountains. It has a pier 70 miles from Cyprus."
The only sure way to safely predict what will happen in the future is to travel through time the slow way and observe what happens.
The phrase ‘only time will tell’ means we won’t know what will happen until it does. A case of stating the obvious.

Packard was an American luxury automobile marque built by the Packard Motor Car Company of Detroit, Michigan, United States, and later by the Studebaker-Packard Corporation of South Bend, Indiana. The first Packard automobiles were produced in 1899, and the last in 1958, with one of the last concept cars built in 1956, the Packard Predictor.
A migratory bird that is famous for appearing just before the start of the rainy season. In the countryside, people still predict rains by its sightings. In many parts of India, it migrates all the way to Africa and comes back just in time for the rains which is the breeding season. But in South India, this is a resident bird and can be seen late summers, rainy seasons and sometimes in the winters too.
This species of Cuckoo is a brood parasite and lays its eggs in other birds nests. It would eat one of the hosts eggs and drop its own in them. The bird prefers Bulbuls, both Red Vented and White throated, tailorbirds etc.. as hosts for its eggs.
We sighted two of them in the area I visited during the weekend. The place was teeming with butterflies and no wonder there were so many cuckoo's there. This cuckoo caught caterpillars in the dry bushes and then flew over to the trees and consumed it there. This happened a couple of times and that is when I took this shot!

We're predicted storms today so I'll pop down to the coast to try and pick up some of the wild energy of the sea and wind. This is from a couple of weeks ago when a. hard frost gripped the valley. Oh Weather is by Damien Jurado

Dragonflies are an ancient family of insects. They have been around for 300 million years and predate the dinosaurs. There are over 5,000 species spanning all continents except the Antartica. They are important bio-indicators for environmental health both of water and land.
This is not a perfect photo, but the red fog, especially against the American flags, seemed ominous. I was walking down W. 33rd Street, between Broadway and Seventh Avenue, to Penn Station, and had passed the Empire State Building, which was almost totally obscured by the fog, on the previous block. I'd love to take this again, with more care, but one cannot predict the weather, especially fog. -- NYC -- January 21, 2017
As predicted by this years "Finch Forecast" there's been a relatively healthy influx of Evening Grosbeaks into Northeast Ohio. I say "relatively" because the population of these beautiful birds has been declining in recent years thought to be a result of the destruction of large areas of their boreal breeding grounds. Let's hope this can be addressed to help keep the numbers from decreasing. A huge thanks to one of Cuyahoga County's most talented birders who discovered this lovely finch.
Summer in Melbourne was milder than predicted this year, and it seems like it is bleeding into autumn, for the weather is warming up and everywhere gardens are bursting forth with beautiful coloured blooms in a profusion of colours.
I took an afternoon stroll in the late summer sunshine the other day, and I walked past this beautiful "Julia's Rose" which is thriving in the well maintained garden of a stylish 1930s Art Deco clinker brick villa. This coffee coloured rose bush is a favourite of mine, as I love the shape of the flowers as they expand into full bloom.
Introduced in 1976 by Wisbech Plant Farm in the United Kingdom, "Julia's Rose" is an unusual colour blend of coffee, lavender and pink blushes on long smooth stems. A tall open bush, this rose repeat flowers often in clusters from October to May and in cooler weather can become completely coffee-coloured.
with a predicted 18 to 24 inches of snow hitting this week in North Dakota, it's nice to see some positive signs of spring...these flowers will get buried, but will survive, with the extra moisture, hopefully they will really take off and bloom more.
As predicted a CME (coronal mass ejection) sparked a strong G3 class geomagnetic storm yesterday. Thankfully it cleared after midnight and I was able to witness some very colourful displays, even seeing red rather than just what the camera picked up. The storm is ongoing with another possible impact to come. From Space Weather:
"The lights spread across multiple US states including Oregon, Minnesota, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Idaho, Montana, New Jersey and North Dakota. At maximum, the lights descended as far south as Colorado."
— My watch can predict the future!
— That's impossible! Can you prove it?
— Sure! — glances at the watch — Right now it's saying you have no panties.
— You see? That is wrong, I have panties on right now.
— Oh, I'm sorry, its 10 minutes fast...
Weather app predicted 💯 low cloud cover - so I drove to my favorite woodland and was greeted by constant rain, zero wind and zero mist. Which seems to happen everytime I'm up that way. So I continued on and found paths that I hadn't walked before which for woodland I've walked through many mnay times was awesome. Most paths are either dog runs cyclists, or footpaths. But they sometimes throw up magical tree shapes, if upur really lucky 100 year old beech trees which survived the 1985 hurricane 🌀 which are now showing signs of age and fungal infections. They aren't long for the Tree world. So I've been photographing some of them recently they are so huge its hard to fit them in a frame. You can see the one of them in the previous photo I posted.
