And yesterday’s rain total? .75 inches for a season total of 3.75 inches. Oops, misread the gauge, somehow. Only .50 or 3.50 for the season.

  • Great shots Daniel! We're from Toronto, Ontario. We've been to your neck of the woods twice now. Hope to return. Love the country.

  • You know I have been working on cloud paintings this past year! These are wonderful. In the top two photos, the clouds look like they are rushing somewhere; the first one especially! In seeing the surf photo right below the clouds I was thinking how like clouds they appear, yet my mind tells me of how water feels and think, in painting them, I would have to incorporate the feel of the water and the splash and the force. Then I thought on clouds being a phenomenon of moisture, but different. I MUST try water, soon! Thank-you for the link, Kate! ...and thank-you for your special vision, Dan!

  • No matter how you slice it, we live in one of the most spectacular places in the world! These shots are all poetry in motion. Thanks for sharing Kate & Dan!

  • Hey!!! Those look like my watercolors! Cowibunga, Stoka-boka! I need to break out the paint brush and get painting!!!

    Thanks for the inspiration!
