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;-)…

as we were driving home tonight the clouds were very cool looking…
leaving the office it looked as though we were going to be in for a snowstorm… very dark gray… but above those, there were gorgeous white lines against the blue sky…
once I got home, took some shots out the front…
the first pictures were through the living room window… had to toss all of them and retake the shots out the front door because the window is so dirty… gonna have to clean that, lol…
getting lighter and feeling warmer each day… this makes me happy…

the sky was filled with clouds at the start and at the end of the day…
although they were the same, they were also completely different…
last night there was a sun dog in the sky as we headed to a volleyball game…
it was quite spectacular and very odd as usually we see sun dogs in cold weather…
so much to see when you look up;-)…

as we drove out to Rabbit Lake for the Regatta we stopped so I could get a shot of the runway, lol…
reminded me of driving along Ness by the airport…
it was a lovely sunny day, until it wasn’t… all of a sudden these huge dark clouds appeared and the thunder started rolling…
our guy was at the start line for his first race ever when they announced that everyone had to come off the water…
then we waited to see if the downpour was going to stop… in the club, along with all the boats they had sandwiches, fruit, treats and souvenirs, which we might never have seen without the rain, lol…
all the grandparents stood around under the awning with the mother and son and had a snack…
there was one lighting strike right across the lake which had everyone jump about a foot off the ground… we could smell the ozone… after about 45 minutes the rain stopped and clouds broke up…
the sky cleared and the races were back on… our boy did very well… he finished his singles… it was a long way…
then he had to come back to the dock and jump into the boat with his doubles partner and off they went… they got a third place in that race… all in all it was an excellent start to his rowing career…
lots of fun to watch but we did learn that we are going to need binoculars for this sport, lol…

this morning I got to have the chocolate cupcake that I didn’t have last night…
it went very well with my new purple and blue mug;-)… and was tasty… just read an article saying chocolate cake in the morning is good for you…
at the end of the day got this shot of the clouds…
lovely to look at, and maybe, the first blue sky we’ve seen all day…
I’ve just taken this shot of the moon and deep blue sky over the neighbour’s house… I was expecting a better quality picture because of the newer phone, but maybe I need to do a bit of reading on this…

the sky has been very interesting over the last few days…
yesterday as I was waiting for my ride to aquasize got this shot…
it looked really bad but there wasn’t any rain coming down when we got out of the pool…
we could use some rain to clean up the dust but I would prefer that it rain during the night, lol…
today I caught a few pictures of some cool looking clouds as I made my way home…
now the sky is a beautiful blue without a cloud in sight…

yesterday morning I spent some time taking pictures of the moon as it was setting… it was very early and the sky had lots of clouds when I started…
after checking through the pictures on the computer, this is the one I am most pleased with…
this morning got this picture of the sun rising amidst the clouds…
kids were over and did a little work on the siding, trying to waterproof the repaired hydro connection…
and scraping some of the peeling paint…
think I’ve found a company to paint the trim and soon those purple doors are going to have a fresh look;-)…
