it was a hot one…
right now, at 9:50 pm, the temperature is 28°C and feels like 33°C…
looked out the window to see these beautiful clouds;-)…
and just a few minutes later, they were gone…
so happy when I catch a lovely moment;-)…

the sky was beautiful this morning when I looked out the window first thing…
a few minutes later I got another view…
the clouds were very interesting…
a bit later I watched geese flying low overhead as they headed out for a meal;-)… they were moving quickly and my phone was in my pocket…
but it is also great to just watch them and not worry about capturing a photo;-)…
the sky is so wonderful…

reorganized the chairs on the deck on Monday to face the sun…
then I brought out blankets for each one so we would be comfortable while we had our eyes to the sky…
everyone brought their eclipse glasses from October, when we saw nothing due to clouds…
coffee was ready, snacks were brought out and my friends arrived an hour early for our regular Monday gathering…
at first the clouds covered the activity but eventually we got to see some of the eclipse…
this was one of the two photos I took… I held the glasses over my iPhone’s lens and one of my friends pushed the button, lol…
it was fun to be together and enjoy this phenomenon…
another great experience with these wonderful women, one who was on FaceTime, lol…

well, didn’t use those eclipse glasses as the sky was completely filled with clouds all morning…
my daughter in Ottawa, who also had clouds, suggested the viewing was top secret only, lol…
viewing party was cancelled and everyone stayed in their warm houses (it was 9° Celsius) getting other chores taken care of…
will put the glasses away for the next one, which looks to be in April;-)…
looked outside at 5:30 pm to see this, lol…

a few nights ago I got some lovely pictures of the sky thanks to my grandson…
he pointed the clouds out as he was mowing the front yard…
he had to do it twice to get it cut because it had grown so long, so fast…
quite a difference from the many weeks this summer when it didn’t grow at all and was rather brown due to the high heat and lack of water…

sunshine and clouds…
Saturday the sun was shining down on the planters in the front yard and there were diamonds glittering… lovely dome of snow, which reminded me of a giant ice cream cone…
a bit later I caught this sundog… not very big but always such fun to spot… as I was driving downtown this morning there was a huge one, but I couldn’t stop to take a photo…
Sunday the clouds were very fluffy as I took this picture…

this morning the sky was interesting wherever you looked…
I took a few minutes before I left home to take pictures of it all around me…
while I was taking pictures I could hear the rolling thunder and as I drove to work the lightning was all around…
no rain until I was parking the car and then just a few drops…

some interesting skies over the last few days… hard to see, but there was the palest rainbow in this picture from last night…
today saw the sun shining through all these clouds…
look up, look way up;-)…

the last few days I’ve been watching the sky on my travels to and from the office…
a few mornings the sun has been sending rays through the clouds… of course I never get to take pictures on the drive…
this particular picture is from the night we went to a soccer game close to me… the sky that night was a show of great views… in the end the game was cancelled due to lightning… I really liked the sun shining down through the clouds…
the sun against the blue sky in the evenings has been lovely as well…
I was looking through my photos to find a picture that would show the beauty…
the pinks and blues of this shot last Friday don’t really replicate the amazing colour that evening…
it is always wonderful to take the time to enjoy the beauty around us…
more and more I focus on those moments…

the sun has been shining through clouds a lot lately but I haven’t been able to get any pictures…
last night, while we were waiting for the soccer game to start, I had the chance to get a few…
also excited to catch the moon in amongst the clouds too…
after I was dropped off I took a few pics of the clouds out the front…
in the end there was no game as the lightning kept coming, although we did get to have ice cream…
but look at these amazing soccer cleats;-)…
