Observed from the hotel room balcony at sunrise in Calpe, Spain. One of only 2 rain clouds I saw during a whole of 3 weeks in Europe.....in November!!! OK I exaggerate a bit, but not much. I'm afraid I will pay DEARLY for this good fortune the next time.
The first 2020 escape, directly into the nature, out of the peak tourism season. Fresh air, rainstorms, trekking, cheeses, smoked ham, seed bread, wild berries, grappas and hot coffees admiring the forest from our loft window.
When mother nature pleasantly takes care of the passing of time.

A great day for photo taking on Steptoe. Nice dappled light moving over the Palouse hills throughout the day as small storms passed through. Interesting that most of the rain went around Steptoe Butte. I was there 6 hrs and only felt a few drops until the sun set when it rained hard.

Very changeable weather on this particular morning at Fairfield Church, Romney Marsh, Kent.
First visit here for both Justin and I as part of a day exploring a few locations. A little while after sun up these surprise stormy clouds rolled in and dumped their load before leaving as quickly as they'd arrived.
Fortunately I brought my umbrella, so got this shot whilst under cover as the downpour started :)

Still Feels...
like July. That heat yesterday. Weird. Six weeks ago I watched this monster thunderstorm plow through a wheat field. I felt that as one does, alone, outside. That stillness and that strange energy; I love that feeling.

A rainstorm and two days later in the Anna's Hummingbird saga, and I have one more story to tell before I give these young ones a rest for awhile.
The two chicks had been fed, and true to form, they had an energy surge afterwards. The one chick in particular was getting in a lot of practice with it's wings when all of a sudden, it took off straight up at an incredible speed and was gone. I had been cycling frames over and in one frame, the blurry sibling was there practicing, and in the next frame...empty space, for I had missed the actual moment of first leaving.
It took a couple of seconds for the chick that was resting to realize it's sibling was gone. This resulted, if I can anthropomorphize, some anxiety at finding itself alone for the first time in it's little life. Some interesting behaviour in the remaining chick showed itself immediately afterwards.
More on this story tomorrow...
