Sun and Rain

A couple from the stormy day which was not much more than a normal blustery Autumn day here. Apart, that is, from it being so dark for much of the time with just an occasional glimpse of the Sun through the high Saharan dust:

In the close shot the Sun looks a bit lop sided as the camera couldn't find any clear edges to focus on.

This morning it was a case of looking where I was treading when we went for our early walk. The ground was wet from an earlier shower and it was almost impossible to spot any frogs in the gloom. This one got out of the way just in time and thoughtfully waited for me to take a flash photo:

  1. Much ado about nothing here. They will cry wolf until they cause a disaster.

    1. Adrian: They seem to have over reacted since the infamous Fish missed hurricane.

    2. John just an excuse to justify their jobs. We were out shifting a herd of pigs and it was very dark with an orange tint. They never warned us of that. The pigs were happy and the swineherd said it will just be shit in the air.... Who is paying for all these Muppets? Sack them all but keep Ellie Creed.

  2. Great photos and interesting weather. I did wonder how far inland that much talked about storm would be felt!!

    1. Mick: Ireland looks to have taken the brunt of the very high winds and possibly some of west Wales and western Scotland though it seemed to weaken rapidly as it travelled up the coast.

  3. Wow, looks like quite a dust storm you had there John! It was a dust storm, right? And lovely capture of Mr. Frog, glad he got out of the way in time!
