It's not all sun and surf.....!!

There's thunder and lightening too.. I certainly don't want to make this all about the weather, in a way I'm hoping to make any of you shivering in freezing temperatures feel a little better.... This is what I was looking at sitting working at my desk the very next day after the previous post, and although not really cold, it was pretty wild, wet and windy.....crazy huh!! Looooove it..

  1. Strange weather everywhere. Sydney's looking at the coldest start to Summer since 1960.

  2. Almost fell for it, but no not quite. It is pretty cold as I write this and I am not given to exaggeration. It took me a while to warm up and dry out after returning from a friends place a walk of perhaps 10 minutes from here. That said I have lived in places where it was hot every day and I choose to live here in Yorkshire where you can experience four season in one day as the song goes.

  3. A little summer rain is nice every now and then. Your photo makes it look down right inviting.

  4. A very noisy morning! Being a POM I like it on the cooler side & love the rain.

  5. Terrific rainy day shot, Grace! No rain here lately -- just gray and pretty chilly, but I don't mind as long as the wind isn't blowing. Love the water patterns on the glass!

  6. Oh I love weather like that! We had two solid days of it with cold temps (50 is cold for us) which is very unusual for Tucson.

  7. Right now, right here in central Florida, it is quite warm (80 degrees F plus today) but very dry. We could use some rain. I hear we are in a drought which means lots of fires in our forests.

    The rains come and that's what keeps us green and happy!

  8. I wouldn't mind a little rain. We just finished getting the stuffing knocked out of us by an unusually strong Santa Anas. 6 days and still people are without power. They're like the full moon - bound to put a girl on edge.

    btw: thanks for visiting my blog. You are a rarity in that you came back and left a comment. If you return you'll find I replied to it

  9. Gympie : last week 30+ today 11.00 am 18.8 and steady rain. Seems the cold wet change is right across the continent.

  12. Every thing seems upside-down over on this side of the continent, too, Grace. I guess we had our early summer during August.

  13. That does look alot warmer than the day we had today.

  14. This makes me realize that I know almost nothing about Perth's overall climate, other than that you are north enough to be warmish. The wet and green is attractive to us up here, where it is cold and gray.

  18. In Norwich we're actually a bit envious! It's almost mid winter and the pundits are saying we have drought conditions here! Makes me feel guilty thinking about hot summers!

  19. It's great your windows is looking out at the green and nature, mine is looking out at the wall ! but it has been raining every afternoon or evening in KL ...

  20. Lovely capture... There is something very evocative about rain streaming down glass (presuming one is on the right side of the window of course!)

  21. love this shot. there is something so universal about looking at the weather through a window...but this definitely doesn't look like new england.

  22. So glad to have moved beyond yesterday's thunderstorms, lightning and rain. Great shot Grace.

  23. Wish I was seeing this outside my window. The gray skies here make me not even want to step outside. :(

  24. I love a lazy day inside gazing out into the rain! Beautiful shot of the rain against the window! ;-D

  28. Nice one. I used to really dislike rainy days -- until I moved to Florida. Now, they're so few and far between, I've grown to appreciate them. Have a cup of tea and enjoy listening to the pitterpatter of raindrops (in between lightning strikes...lol).

  33. Re your comment that Haagen Dazs was "good" - You betcha! Way too good. And it's very had for me to stay away from such a good thing! Which is very bad for me! :-)
