Last of the afterglow


 Back in October I managed to get some photos of the last of the afterglow from the sun setting, mind you I did intend to see if I could get a photo of the comet they were talking about. I'm not sure if I did or it could be a vapor trail you see in the photo below, either way I did get the last of the sunset

The white cloud is what I though to be the comet

Clouds coming in

From out the front window with the glow of my sons car shining on the hedge across the road

Looking up at the dark cloud

 A last look from upstairs

Shepherds Warning

 

Red Sky in the morning Shepherds Warning as they saying goes and guess what I was greeted with one morning the end of September

 
The glow I spotted coming through the shutters on our bedroom window and looking out the back door this is whet greeted me

 
A out the back a stunning red sky 

 
It looked glorious

 
I cannot say the same for the evening


But we did get to enjoy a chocolate cake I made.

Wispy Clouds

 

I notice the clouds when I went out the back of our house around midday back towards the end of June

Looking west

Looking over towards the north

West over the top of our house

Looking east

Back south west

 Finally to the west

The moon at Sunset

 

Another two photos again this week which I took on different days in June both were taken at around sunset

 
This one I took out the front of our house looking towards the allotments, the afterglow from the sunset setting off the crescent moon above it was 22:15

A couple of nights later I managed to get out and take this shot of the afterglow at 21:14

End of May Sunset

 

Only a couple of photo's this week of a sunset I captured out the front of our house after noticing the sky from the kitchen window

It looked quite spectacular

 Same again only this time with a google effect on it. The sky did not last that long so I never managed to get any more photos.

More Flowers and Roses

 

I'll start with this collage of a bee on one of out Fox Gloves

 I had been getting worried I had not seen any then this little fellow made free with them

 
I was messing around trying some settings on my camera when I too this one

 
And this one both of which are on our side patio

 
My wife favorite Rosa Californica 

 
And one of my Veilchenblou it really has some prolific flowers

 
I love the violet blue of it

 
It grows over our wood store about six foot over my head

 
The first time the iris flowered since we moved it here

 
Orange rose and foxglove 


More roses with foxgloves behind.

Welsh Sky

 

We finally managed to get out for an even walk from our Caravan on a nice evening with no rain

The clouds looked spectacular

The blue of the sky contrasted nicely


Some clouds were darker but at leas did not drop rain

 Looking back at the blue sky and clouds

When we got to gate leading to the hill I took this photo

On the way back a wide view was in order. Now in the distance you might see something well you will have to wait to see what it is next week

April Sunset

 

 It's normal for me to miss the sunset and see the afterglow, this evening was no different

 
Best place was out of the bathroom window and after taking the photo which uploaded to my laptop and Google photos I found the photo had been enhanced by them

 
This was the original photo

 
Over the top of the houses a beautiful glow

 
Pink clouds out the back

 
A couple more looking south

 
Overhead the moon through the rain dirtied window

Easter Sky

 

To finish off Easter photos this week some flowers

 
After getting photos of the Easter egg tree

 
I walked on along the road and noticed the daffodils looked superb

 
They looked great with the cottages in the background

 
Or the Horse Chestnut tree
