Considerations

Having complained that June light is flat and uninspiring, I must admit that it is not always so. Summer evenings are one of the pleasures of life in the country.

.

Especially when clouds build up in late afternoon.

.

Which, scrolling through recent images…

.

…appears to happen with some frequency!

.

Summer mornings have merit too, when clouds linger…

.

…and dance around playfully.

.

Sometimes they keep you guessing, will it rain, or will it shine?

As I recall, some half dozen large raindrops spattered the windshield for the sum token of that day’s precipitation.

.

Friday evening, as usual, I kept my eye on a window and took the requisite photo, deciding that one would suffice. Not long after I retired to sit on my bed reading.

As long as daylight remains, however, my eyes are drawn to it because I know how quickly change occurs in this part of the world. I don’t have a full view from my bed, but enough to detect colour.

So when I perceived pink, I had a debate.

.

Elsewhere.

Anyway…I untangled myself and went to the kitchen window:

,

As you can see, an hour had made quite a difference.

.

Such colours would look good in a silk scarf.

.

For another view, I needed to be in the garden but when I looked out a front window, I came upon another consideration:

.

There was a fox on the walkway, so I didn’t want to open the door and couldn’t even get too close to the window or it would take fright and abandon its meal.

That would not do.

.

So I squirmed around on the floor trying to capture a view.

.

Not very successfully.

.

By then the scene was changing rapidly, so I went back to the kitchen.

.

To capture two last shots.

Everything considered, perhaps June is not unexciting after all.
