The wind was brewing up a storm
under the feet of the resident pigeon flock
swirling around and giving
some of our feathered chums – quite a hard time of it.
luckily the nearby building works gave some shelter
expect more tomorrow, as the winds brother comes up for a visit
#CFFC #Patterns
I like patterns
you can find them all around you,
whether its in nature , or in your home furnishings
in a mural or a picture
I Volunteer at Imperial War Museum North, in Manchester, and a key place you spot patterns are in the camouflaged objects around the exhibition space
Most camouflage patterns are inspired by Nature. I was lucky enough to capture a picture of this lizard while he was standing still – out in the distance his patterned skin would have blended into the tree, as if he was part of it….Great for hide and seek.
Mother nature’s rather good with patterns as well, together with jack frost. This pic was taken in the winter season, and although it seems random, there’s a definite structure and pattern to the way the crystals of frost have formed on the car roof.
“Weather”

“Red skies at Night, Shepherds Delight…..“
This old phrase is still around today.
It was the shepherds way of telling fine weather – a red sky at night normally foretold of fine weather next morning
Whilst a red sky in the morning, normally was followed by grey clouds in the skies above. It gave the shepherd time to get his flock onto lower ground and avoid an immediate drenching 🙂
We’re not out of winter yet in the UK, no matter what the met office say, and I’ve known it snow in March, despite it being technically Spring.

I could say mother natures been cooking,
but she’s obscured my view
I can barely see, what’s in front of me
never mind a metre or two
And the pea soup – its a moving
as it follows the warmth of the ground
its making pretty whirls and swirls
as it moves around
And its not easy when your commuting
from museum to back to home
as the fog falls on down, it makes you frown
as you might just be looking through foam!

Melanie looked at the living room carpet
Enveloped by four soggy footprints
Local law enforcement scoured the area, but
Terrible thing was … they couldn’t find the culprits
Even the footprints outside could be found , it’s like they
Disappeared in the snow ❄️
The thought of it just being the
Evolution of evaporation
and condensation, doesn’t
ring true with me. Up there with the
Deity, helping create the mountains and
Rivers, the angels have heard their boss
On occasion when he’s hit his thumb with a hammer
Precipitation? Maybe if you are solely a geographer
Something tells me it’s the angels crying!

It might seem a bit funny – but I’m starting to miss the warm weather
the sun and its friend, mercury seem to have beaten a retreat
nights are drawing in, and furthermore – so is the cold
looking out of the window, it doesn’t even look like night
but the sun has taken its leave – and outside its not bright
perhaps i should have appreciated it when it was in town
when people were sat on the beach – getting brown
For now , i’m not sat by the beach
The warmth has gone – its out of reach
So i’ll sit by the heater with reading planned
and a Mug of hot cocoa – ee thats grand!

An acrostic by inky
Problems occur like the morning rain
Reality is, that’s what life has to throw at you
Each little problem, obstacle or challenge
Can topple you in an instant , however
In case you need them … there are
People who can help you,
In your hour of need
They’re there at a moments notice
An umbrella from the dropping rain
They’re your friends, pals, buddies
In sight, in rain or shine
On good days or bad
Never forgetting you and bringing a smile
#rain #clouds #weather #water
rivers of water fall from sky
clouds have had falling out again
droplets of water cling to glass
not wanting to drop into sewers
fighting gravity to stop imminent splashes
