Skyfall by maggiemae

Skyfall

Its not spring weather here, in fact its quite surprising! Snow further inland and out here late today was a dark cloud where some lightening and thunder was seen! I didn’t see any but managed to get the hovering dark shape from our deck.
Three good things:
1. The blossom is still (almost) on the trees. If I was getting married, I’d stand underneath it. Maybe I will anyway!
2. Lesley ( @kiwichick )is in NZ to visit her family and she bought a book from me which I sent to her mother according to her wishes! How nice! Some good NZ photos to come?
3. Cloud formations in the early and late evening were spectacular!
What an amazing sight. Spectacular clouds.

Such a dramatic sky, and wonderful scene!

Woah! Those are some crazy clouds. Reminds me of the spring clouds in IL right before a tornado hits! Yikes!
October 12th, 2016  
these weather phenomena happens around here, too, and quite often. they look ominous, don't they? but beautiful to photograph!

Wow! Such a dramatic sky, those clouds look quite ominous
October 12th, 2016  
@homeschoolmom Yes, I've never seen a cloud like this before - it just sailed right out to sea!

@dide Chicken Licken would be running around trying to find Foxy Loxy, do you think, Dianne? Would be running around a long time here!

dramatic, full of impact and rather sinister Maggie
October 12th, 2016  
@phil_howcroft I agree Phil! That flat underside with all those curves in it was ominous but it just sailed out to sea and disappeared! Some poor boat will get it!
October 12th, 2016  
Instant fav ! This sky is incredible! I first thought you made a collage with two photo and that the upper part was a dark wave !
October 12th, 2016  
Absolutely amazing clouds, they must have contained some pretty severe weather. Great photo!
October 12th, 2016  
@inthecloud5 It would have been amazing if I had caught some lightening coming out of this!
October 12th, 2016  
Wow... that is one intense cloud!!
October 13th, 2016  
What an amazing photo. I thought you'd photoshopped waves to the sky, but those are really your clouds! It's been crazy weather here in Welly. Yesterday was cold, dark and windy with some rain. Today, beautiful sunshine and hot! Thanks for sending the book. Maybe it'll arrive tomorrow before we head north. Otherwise it'll be a surprise for her on our return in 2 weeks.

@kiwichick I sent it yesterday, Lesley but it might take 2 - 3 days to get there.
October 13th, 2016

October 13th, 2016  
@maggiemae That's great. I didn't expect it before we leave for the beach, but if its speedy then perhaps it'll arrive tomorrow :)
