Bird & Weather

The sunrise this morning was quite spectacular. There was a strong smell of smoke in the air, so I don't know if that might have affected the colour.




Later on the in afternoon, some bad weather rolled in again. The wind started gusting to 93km/hr, so John had to pick me up from work. The sky was black as night, but it really didn't do much. There is still a storm & wind warning in effect though, so we might still see some bad weather.

As the storm came through, when you looked west as in the picture below, the sky was clear & blue.


Looking east though, it was still really black and cloudy. In one of the pictures you can sort of see a rainbow over a house.
The water in the LNID was blowing the wrong way, which is usually a sign of bad weather.
It's also quite full of algae this summer.

This little bird was in the willow in our backyard, and I thought he was cute enough for pictures.
