New Years Day


After the wonderful sunny day we had on Christmas Day it was a complete reverse on New Years Day with wind and rain.

 Station road and this area gets flooded in heavy rain, the puddle is starting to form
 Looking up at the dark skys overhead
 Ominous dark clouds 
 Which blow past quickly
 Mind you it does not stop some hardy lad scooting through in the rain.

Sounds like the contrast between Christmas and New Year's Day in my peninsula world. But these are delightful street views of Mother Nature in rainy mode.

Thank you Gemma, it's been another day of contrast, fine and sunny during the day and raining now

Billy Blue Eyes said...

But you had snow, don't that count. I could do without the amount we are getting at the moment.

Billy Blue Eyes said...

I don't mind it just the amount we are haveing at the moment

Billy Blue Eyes said...

Yep and the next day was fine then today back to rain

Billy Blue Eyes said...

Billy Blue Eyes said...

We have had much the same here, except for 6 or more inches of snow overnight... thanks for sharing your skies..Have a happy weekend!

Billy Blue Eyes said...

As much as I love snow it turns to water and we would still have the flooding. Hope your ok there

Joyful said...

Whenever the rain returns I sigh. Though it is actually warmer then (for us).

Have a great weekend and stay dry. Happy SWF!

Billy Blue Eyes said...

I will have a good one. The rain has stopped for the moment, just hope it stays that way for a few more hours. Need to take a couple of photos

Sharon said...

Oh my, that was a bit of a gloomy day! Is that young man skating in the rain?

Billy Blue Eyes said...

It was very gloomy though today was rather mixed. Yep he skated by on the way to the village.

Birgitta said...

Rainy days at your place! Rain at my place too. The snow are almost gone.

RedPat said...

I find rain so depressing and that looks particularly gloomy!

Billy Blue Eyes said...

Thats sad I liked seeing your snow photos. We had hail today & it looked like a snowstorm

Billy Blue Eyes said...

So do I and it was very gloomy

Englepappa/ Ole JN said...

There's a lot of rain and wind here in Norway too, but not as much as you've got these last days. Now I wish for snow on the fields and ice on the water. There's a "skating itch" in my legs... I wish you all well in the new year, and I'm looking forward to all of your 2014 pictures!

Billy Blue Eyes said...

Thanks for the nice comment. Hope you get your wish I just hope it stops raining here.

Jenn Jilks said...

You've had such bad weather there, too. You've been on our news! And you are in our thoughts!
Cheers from Cottage Country Ontario , ON, Canada!

Billy Blue Eyes said...

Oh wow made it over there did we. It looks worse than it is as the serious stuff only affects a few places, most of us are unaffected.

DeniseinVA said...

Great rainy day photos Bill. Hope it stopped before doing any damage. Happy New Year :)

Dana said...

There's something inspiring even about the gloomy days. Nice photos!

Billy Blue Eyes said...

It's been worse that that, Happy new Year

Billy Blue Eyes said...

Not sure I could agree with you sometimes on wet days
