  Another Storm Approaching – Watercolour

  A view over the hills to the west of the central belt of the country as a huge thundercloud approaches. Kinda sums up our summer.

  The last time I saw threatening skies similar to this, the forest was on fire. Oddly enough, the fire caused its own rain cloud formations too. Thank you Uncle Bob.

  You are welcome, Greyseal. It does look a bit like fire but highly unlikely after all of this summers rain which seems to have gone on for months. This is from July 4th

  You wouldn’t want the amount of rain we have had this “summer” Rose. Apart from soaking everything its meant more gardening (for gardening read hacking vegetation from the house to stop it being taken over Mind you, if it continues I will arrange for it to be sent to you Ha Ha

  Yes, do arrange to send some of that wet stuff our way since we have not had a drop since last May and probably won’t have any for another month or so. But I drove by the fire area yesterday, some 75,000 acres burned, but it could not be seen from the highway even though the “burn” smell was everywhere. Along the highway there were huge tent cities where the firefighters eat and sleep, and the meadows were all trampled, but I’m sure they’ll recover in a couple of years or so. As for all that forest, it’s history for a long, long time! So glad we have plenty more where that came from.
