Here comes the rain
Not a cloudscape today, but the rain that invariably comes from a “nice picturesque cloud”. Thankfully we were sheltered under some trees at this point. #30dayswild

Rippled Clouds
A couple more cloudscapes today, taken after the rain had passed through. #30dayswild

Cloudscapes
Just a couple of cloudscapes today from earlier in the week – you wouldn’t think it was possible to have so many different cloudscapes! #30dayswild

Mobbed by Crows
I hadn’t heard the Buzzards for a while, so I was surprised to hear them calling this afternoon. I don’t know why they seem keen to announce their presence, especially when the crows seem intent on mobbing them! The Buzzard got the idea and flew in the opposite direction, with the crows coming back to land in…

Birds of Prey once more
Mum shouted from the garden that she’d seen a lot of birds of prey circling, but by the time I got my camera ready, they’d flown out of sight. I did however manage to get some blurred photos of one bird: It’s not really close enough to tell, but it could be a Peregrine Falcon although some…

A pair of cloudscapes
Following on from yesterday’s cloudscapes, I took these photos one straight after the other, but looking in slightly different directions for each. It’s interesting to see how different the colour of the sky looks, but also the way the clouds had spread out in the second photo. The vapour trail can clearly be seen in…

Cloudscapes
One of my favourite ‘wild’ things to photograph would have to be cloudscapes – there’s a surprising number of different cloud formations, and that means each photo can look totally different! #30dayswild
