Stormy Weather (IV)
Posted by Lesley (Lincoln, United States) on 1 April 2009 in Plant & Nature and Portfolio.
We're under a stormy sky,
Watchin' the clouds roll by.
But there'll be another dawn
To clear the storm away,
And we will be all right.

@Alun Lambert: Thanks, Alun. I was just happy I didn't get wet!
@jamesy: Thanks, Debbie. I love stormy skies, but get a bit nervous if there's lightning. Fortunately, this was a mild storm.

@Linerberry: Thanks, Liners. It was a bit scary, but nobody seemed to pay it much attention. Just the silly tourist taking pictures of it. ;)

@Anthony Lambert: Thanks, Anthony! I'll do another series later. I'm moving on to food next week. :)
@john4jack: I felt like I was the only one looking up at it!
@grouser: I'm the drama queen of weather!
@Laurie: It was, but nobody seemed terribly concerned. Guess they know their weather better than us tourists!
@PD: They do, don't they? But they never materialized into anything terribly serious. We wouldn't be so lucky here in the Midwest, would we?!
You ready for the snow we're supposed to get this weekend? Sigh.

EYES WIDE SHUT from The library of my soul, United Kingdom
This is so weird for me Lesley, a photograph taken in the town where my family live. Top the left is the Safeway supermarket where we often shop, that 7-eleven stocks Ben and Jerries tubs of Ice Cream so I'm a happy bunny! Past the 7-eleven on the far right corner is my breakfast place of choice, with fabulous breakfast skillets. Back to the right and behind us are the banks where I change my British pounds up eagerly for Canadian dollars and of course further behind us the beautiful Marina and glorious walk.
This could be a shot from my own photo album. My mum used to live a few blocks up from Safeway and my family live a few roads away. The highway just past those traffic lights, takes you left towards Victoria, and nefore that, Beaver lake which is a magnificent walk. I could go on....... ha ha

@EYES WIDE SHUT: And I've been in the Safeway you're referring to! We only ate out once or twice, I think, since we cooked on the boat, so I'm not familiar with your breakfast spot. Oh, we did get ice cream at a place on the corner down by the waterfront near a fancy hotel (and possibly a round-about?).
Glad you enjoyed the photo, Paul. I working on another series I think you'll enjoy!
