The Modus can still be driven for journeys as short as to Ferndene Farm Shop and back, so this afternoon we purchased provisions there, and without moving away from the Modus I photographed
the changing skies within half an hour.
Later, having discovered how to add photographs which had not been included in my earliest posts, I upped the ante on their illustrations. Here are a selection of those to which I have added photographs and/or header pictures:
This evening we all dined on barbecue sauce marinaded spare rib racks and Jackie’s tasty savoury rice with which she drank Hoegaarden and I drank The Guv’nor Spanish red wine.
We are on the edge of two cold winter storms — your skies look very much like ours today!
Thank you very much, Janet. I hope you stay well
Beautiful pictures with the trees and clouds.
Thank you very much, Andy
You’re welcome.
Our sky looks similar to yours today, Derrick. It was 66F yesterday and just 47 today with high winds overnight. Summer, come back!
Thanks a lot, John
You know I love skies. Yours are gorgeous.
I do. Thank you so much, Sherry
We haven’t had dark skies like that for weeks, and very little rain of late. At school, we were told that “February” came from “fill-dyke”……not this year!
Thanks a lot, John. I don’t remember any shortage of rain when we were in Newark
I was looking for something entirely other, and look who I ran into on an Oregon university site! I think it might be Florence’s sister!
“So it is” said Jackie – and so it is. Thanks very much, Linda
The changing cloud formation always fascinates me, Derrick.
Cheers, Ivor
That was a very beautiful kaleidoscopic sky you captured, Derrick. We have had snow squalls here today.
Thank you very much, Lavinia. Your country’s widely contrasting weather news looks alarming
Dry and a very cold 22 degrees Fahrenheit here this morning.
Now, that’s what I call changeable weather! February weather can be so interesting!
Thank you very much, Diane
I particularly like the first trees against the sky photo. I’m gaining a better appreciation of bare trees than I used to have.
Thank you very much, Liz
You’re welcome, Derrick.
That was our sky today, been like that for days
Thanks very much, Gary
Gorgeous captures today, Derrick.
Thank you very much, Jill
Skies that are too familiar in this part of the country. Beautiful capture of the clouds.
Thank you very much, Zakiah
Marvelous sky photos! The tree branches are so intricate in their detail. Soon we will not be able to see this. I’m glad you can at least go for short trips to the farm shop.
Thank you very much, JoAnna
Some of those cloud photos look ominous.
They do. In fact we got less rain than was forecast. Thanks very much, Arlene
I enjoy moody skies – especially if there is rain in the offing! Here we have been experiencing the most beautifully coloured sunrises (already so much later!) and sunsets. Last night I watched in awe as the palette of the sky, once the sun had gone, included a mixture of gold, peach, orange and yellow that mixed effortlessly with violet, purple and so on into grey – with not a cloud in sight.
It is amazing to see that range of colour in the sky without cloud to catch the tinges. Thanks very much, Anne
Gorgeous sky photos! In some of them it looks like the tree branches are gently holding up the clouds! 🙂
I am a sky-gazer! Always so much to see…daytime and nighttime…especially from those artistic mood-filled clouds! 😉
(((HUGS))) 🙂 ❤️
Thank you iso much, Carolyn X
Wow! Such beautiful pictures
The sky is one of the natural wonders that can be observed endlessly.
Wonderful what you can capture without leaving the car. We are across country from Lavinia, and that storm has now reached us. A very snowy day, but nothing we Mainers can’t handle.
That’s the spirit, Laurie. Thank you very much
Wonderful captures, Derrick. I love glowering skies and gloomy clouds!
Thank you very much, Sofia
Our weather is spring like but I feel winter is not over yet. Your beautiful photos reflect nature’s moodiness during the transitional months.
Thank you so much, Eugi
You’re welcome, Derrick.
Blimey Derrick, there’s now no holding you back.
🙂 Thanks a lot, Sheree
Clouds are fascinating.
Thank you very much, Lakshmi
Fabulous photos of the ominous clouds.
I am enjoying your older posts, Derrick, as I hadn’t seen them in their original iteration.
I’m pleased. Thank you very much, Dolly
The pleasure is mine, Derrick.
Wonderful cloud pictures. Also bravo to the Modus for soldiering on.
Thanks very much, Pat
A lovely collection of photos, Derrick.
Thank you very much, Alys
What an interesting sky!
Thank you very much, Ribana
