Carol A. Hand
A colorful morning although skies were grey
On a cool but ordinary Saturday
An impromptu trip along Lake Superior’s Northwest shore
Dramatic skies promised rain for sure
Fast moving storms pass, creating fog and rising steam
Inspiring a moment to ponder, perhaps to dream
Watching a robin bathe
And a rescued resting little bug
Taking time to enjoy family
And time for a hug
Beautiful sights and laughter along the way
Treasures of travels on an ever-shifting weather day
Lovely “travelogue” Carol.

(I love watching clouds and overcast days are actually easier to work with – the light is diffuse and not too bright.)

Dear Natalie, thank you so much for your delightful comments. I’m sorry to hear it’s too dry in Texas. We’ve had alternating bouts of drought and too much rain this spring, as well as a prolonged period of frost warnings. I just got some of my plants in last week! Hugs and blessings to you, too. ❤

Oh wow that is late. A lot of my flowering things have already come and gone. And we’ve entered summer’s inferno here in Texas sadly. It’s always good to find your posts in my inbox and see what you have to say. I believe us to be kindred spirits dear Carol❣️😘

Lovely verse and gorgeous photos 😊 We are in the midst of a heatwave, 32C yesterday, such a contrast to a week ago when I was still wearing woolly jumpers and long socks!

Thank you so much for your kind words, Chris. It’s always a challenge for me to convert temperatures from Celsius to Fahrenheit. 🙂 Here, 32 is the freezing point. Where I live in Minnesota, it still goes down to 50 degrees F at night (10 degrees C?).
In the process of figuring out the conversion of C to F, I learned something new! I didn’t realize that 0 C is the freezing point of water, and 100 C is the boiling point. I really like that way to set the values of degrees. It never occurred to me to ask where Fahrenheit values came from until today. Now I know but I’ll let others discover it online for themselves as I did. 🙂

Thank you so much for your kindness, Pat, and best wishes to you and your lovely family in sunny Yorkshire.
Ah, how I wish I were photogenic. Unlike the photo IDs for work and driving that have given me a laugh for many many years, digital photos give me the option to choose what to share. I have a rather large collection of rejects. 🙂
