First Day of Winter by onewing

First Day of Winter

What a difference a day makes. Today is the first day of winter and it has bucketed down with rain all day. The first rain we have had in over a month, so much needed.

I went out this afternoon to take some photos through the windscreen of the car in the pouring rain. Didn't get out of the car because it has only reached 14 degrees c today.

This is a picture of The Boatshed at Little Beach through the windscreen. I think it looks quite nice on black.

Thanks so much for putting my Caves Beach photo on the TT this week.
Fantastic ... looks like the same sort of day we have had ..

What a great way to get a cool abstract!! It's very effective. :)

@julzmaioro Checked our rain gauge this evening and we have had 32 mm rain and it is still raining.

@jeneurell Thanks it has really bucketed down today.

@kjarn Heard about the water restrictions on the news. This is the first rain we have had for 4 weeks and not much before then either.

@robz It was quite windy too and the rain was almost horizontal.

@yorkshirekiwi We really need the rain.

@happysnaps Look forward to your first day of winter.

@rjb71 Yes I remember summer in the UK and don't miss it at all. Although cold today we don't have winter every day in Australia ha ha, we do have warmer days too.

@annied I love Morpeth. Did it rain there too?

@pistache Thanks Clare

@sugarmuser No processing Sharon, this was just through the windscreen in the rain.

@dide Thanks for the fav Dianne. I have really enjoyed watching the rain today, haven't seen much of it for ages.

@sangwann I agree Dione it does doesn't it. Amazing what a bit of rain on the windscreen can do.

This is amazing Babs, you sure chose a fabulous motive!
June 1st, 2019  
Same here ... oh yes one just little difference - it's summer here!
June 1st, 2019  
@onewing not when we were wandering around Morpeth...it started in the arvo while at East Maitland station train spotting hahaha
June 1st, 2019  
It has created a great effect Babs. I'd love to try this, but first we need some rain. Our May was the 2nd driest on record and we're still having temps in the mid 20s.
June 1st, 2019  
I guess it almost rains everywhere. Summer calendar starts here June 21. we had so many cold rainy days this spring.
your picture looks amazing. fav.

Cool painting looking shot. It sure looks rainy and chilly.

Blimey, that does look wet and wintry!

Nicely captured effect.

Great shot

Love your capture of your first winters day! Fav
June 1st, 2019  
It looks like a lovely Impressionist painting.
June 1st, 2019  
A great photo showing your rather wild windy weather....your turn I think Babs but knowing where you live it could be hotter with you in winter tomorrow than it is here in summer!
June 1st, 2019  
I love it.................a very painterly effect!
June 2nd, 2019  
Wild and wonderful processing

@ludwigsdiana @inthecloud5 @merrelyn @bruni @kwind @seattlite @seattlite @fbailey @helenhall @mittens @lesip @danette @peadar @lynne5477 @flowerfairyann @carolmw @casablanca @angelar @craftymeg @bkbinthecity @jacqbb @olivetreeann @happypat @radiogirl @jgpittenger Thanks everyone. According to our rain gauge we had 49 mm rain yesterday and it was much needed. That is more than the previous two months put together. Still raining, but I think it will ease off this afternoon as the sun is beginning to shine.

@onewing That sounds great, hope we start getting some soon too ;-)
June 2nd, 2019
