Uneasy Skies of the Vermilon River. A Post To Sky Watch Friday.

Bright With Clouds
The weather has been hot and fairly sultry, but all this was to change with a rain weather warning almost totally across Northern Ontario. It resulted in a thunder boomer complete with rain and hail. After that, the temperature dropped to a noontime temperature today  of 7C say 40F.

 Did Boom & I miss summer? We don't have rain warnings, snow yes, but rain warnings that's for you southern guys.

A Change Coming


Growing Clouds.


Still Banking.

From the North.


With the weather so unstable I'm not getting out as much with the camera, although Boom and I are in the forest every day. After all we need that exercise.


Song Sparrow





But we're fortunate some of our feathery friends came to see us.

    Gorgeous clouds, lovely skies, delightful birds -- particularly the little hairy woodpeckers and superb captures as always, Gary! Hope you and Boom have a great weekend! Enjoy!

    An upside of the changeable weather can be the dramatic cloudscapes. Beautifully captured, Gary.

    It was 41 here yesterday! Tonight it is 14...I hope I missed summer if we are going to have temps like that! Great cloud shots, and that robin is just so cute.

    Wonderful clouds, Gary, and I guess your Boomer isn't afraid of thunder-boomers like our Lindy is.
    So glad your little feathered friends came to visit. We get sparrows and robins and mourning doves, too.

    Great shots. I love the big white fluffy clouds against the blue sky.

    We some bird photos as a bonus. Mourning doves are not that colorful but they are probably my favorite bird. They looks so smart.

    I love the shots of the Mourning Dove. That is a dove I yet have to encounter.
    The skies looks like it can´t decide, rain or not?

    Cape Breton's weather has been nothing to sing songs about, either!! I'd rather it be hot! Great shots of the clouds. They can be so intriguing.
