The next day the rain clouds are here, so we head to the ocean to watch the squalls move in.

    1. Watching the squall lines move across the ocean, is a spiritual experience, especially after prolonged drought. Hope your travels are all you could hope for my friend~

    Thank you Cindy! I’m so glad to read that you finally got some rain. Rain is such a blessing, easy to forget how magical it is until a drought comes-then we are well reminded by it’s absence.

  14. Wow, what an intense sunset! It’s been so long since I’ve seen such a red sky, so thank you for sharing this. And that last image has such an ethereal quality to it that I almost expect a magical creature to descend from that gap in the clouds! (Maybe I watch too many fantasy movies 😛 )

    1. I think your imagination matches your intelligence. Einstein rightly stated that imagination is the highest form of intelligence, so imagine away please, and keep telling me what you see! <3 <3

  19. Hoi Cindy, A nice contribution to the fire in the sky and the rain, our unique creation of nature takes over again.

    1. Thank you my friend and I am going to be spooking critters in your South Africa very soon now. As soon as they see us, they will all say, “Oh no, here comes that odd couple from America who always get lost, again!” 😉 😉

    1. Heaven.It really is true, that the more you miss something, the more you appreciate it. Jim is advocating we return to New Zealand. He wants to take that famous road that goes up into the mountains past the tree line, not until 2017 though. I am lobbying to combine with a return to Oz……Hope you are well my friend and who knows, maybe we’ll see you in NZ in 2017!

      1. 2017! That’s dedicated forward planning. If you have plenty of time, it would be tempting to combine Oz and NZ. I have just had a short, but lovely , visit from bloggers from Texas. I think they would recommend my spare room. 😀

  40. Those of us living amid mounds of snow often forget there are whole regions parched and eager for moisture — glad the Holler got some, Cindy!

    1. I so often get the feeling blogging, that there should be some way to swap, we take some of the snow, ice and cold, and you take some of the heat and sun!

  42. YAY! I’m so happy for you and all the little critters! Your sunset photos are breathtaking, Cindy. My gosh, it does look like the sky is on fire! And you’ve gotten such wonderful captures of those storm clouds! 🙂

    1. The Holler does get the most remarkable sunsets which was a surprise when we moved in because we had never been here at night before we moved in. I think it is something to do with being in an unpopulated area, on a mountain, with a valley below and the ocean to the west. The sun puts on quite nice shows in all directions~

  43. Some great shots of weather. Somehow it connects us all. An old saying:-
    Red sky at night
    Shepherds delight
    Red sky in the morning
    Shepherds been at the cider again.
    Have a nice rainy day. 😀

    1. A rain storm at The Holler is the most interesting thing that happens here!!! It so rarely happens. You are very kind and most appreciated my friend. Stay warm~
