After a warm winter day reaching 28 deg C the afternoon cloud formation a clear indicator of change in weather approaching. First photo showing late afternoon with sun starting to drop down at the horizon, second photograph straight up above of the incredible rippling cloud patterns.
15h50
Photograph of Cirrocumulus clouds rippling overhead at 15h50 on 10th June, an indicator of fair, but cold weather arriving.
Much like life below we bump into one another online and off, new decisions of where or how to go forward. Knocking into one another connecting through space and time.
17h00
Clouds just happen to talk a different language, sometimes they gather making a strong concerted effort, other days they float aimlessly about, sounds familiar doesn't it.
(Canon PowerShot SX730 HS, f/8, 1/25 sec, ISO-80, focal length 4mm and 7mm respectively).
Mild weather presented itself the next day, a glorious winter day, not quite so warm at around 25 deg C, for winter who can beat that? However change happened suddenly around 15h00 when I took Woody out for his constitutional walk.
After a hurried pee around the garden I took a few snaps and retreated indoors to give Woody 2 Rescue (natural remedy) tablets since one thing that puts him on edge for up to six hours is an electrical storm... and yes he heard it approaching.
Looking down the valley an ominous look of dark nimbostratus (hope I got the right one there) cloud creeping up the valley. In the distance a faint rumble which set the dog into motion, his ears are far more acute to hearing than mine will ever be.
We listened from indoors as the stormy rapture released itself, all hell let loose (photo taken 15h56 out my window), downpour lasted no more than 30 minutes. Later on checking the rain gauge 40mm had fallen, it came straight down hard and heavy, just as quickly moved on up the coast still burbling and spluttering.
Intense storms like this come and go quickly especially after the warm berg wind on the previous day, let's look down the valley after the storm cleared at 16h45.
Cloud line literally cut down the middle over head at 16h52.
Following events like this, some clearing of mud will happen. We are normally rewarded with a fantastic display in nature with a golden sunset.
Rippling clouds remind one of days we were carefree, lulling us in mesmerizing time frame of ability to move around freely enjoying life.
Stormy rapture, harshness reminded me of how quickly life can change, excessive control swirling into our lives creating havoc.
Currently sitting waiting for the next move on cold cloudless day, still unable to move freely, harsh rules imposed some possibly returning, one really has to throw caution to the wind of dictatorship on the horizon.
Emotional turmoil, stumbling around seeking answers, a special call out to @jaynie who has Mom/Best Friend @lizziesworld in Hospice Care. Another goes to Bruni while undergoing a regiment of treatments
@wonderwop keep strong!
