Stormy day

 After the driest April on record almost. May will possibly the wettest. 

Rain

 Did some shots last night of the river then some more after the rain of last night.

Storm damage

 Since I moved into this house there has been a rather magnificent willow tree at the bottom of the garden. Sadly with the storms of the last couple of days it is no more. The trunk appears to have rotted and it has broken at the roots. Over the next few days I will have someone in to remove the remains. 

A thunderhead of judgment

The thunder clouds have been looming in the sky recently.

After the Shower

Beautiful day before the thunder shower rolled in, and then out again.

It has been very stormy over the past few days. Very wet so not conducive to going out to take pictures. so these images are from before and after the storm.

Rainbow over the Clyde.

Weather in Scotland is on the mixed side, and with spending time with my mother I'm just trying to get a few pictures when I can.

Today was a shopping trip, fuel for the car and then a drive to see the view from Greenock Esplanade.

There was a hint of autumn storms in the air.

Thunder storm coming.

today has been the hottest July day in 15 years. Sun most of the day and a rumble of thunder later.
Also noticed that my last post was number 600!

Day 4 Round the Island on Poseidon.

Today was our trip around the island on Poseidon. Five stops for a swim and lunch under the trees on Sesklia island.

First though was the walk down the Kalistrata

On the boat we got the spot we were looking for on the front deck of the boat, and soon we were off.

First stop for a swim was at Maroni bay then on to stop at seal Cave. Still no sign of the seal. 

The third swim spot was at Diavates

The lunch stop on Sesklia was the only time the boat moored up. the food was as good as ever.

The final swim stop was at St Georges bay with it steep cliffs looming over the beach 

By the time we were back into Symi we were tired and well fed having had all we could eat and drink during the day.

After we had had a rest and slow walk up to Horio. The sky was showing signs of an approaching storm. 

As the night fell the lightening started flashing and the thunder rolling. No rain in Horio but rumours that there was some rain down the valley at Pedi.

Stormy weather.

Very stormy last night and tonight.
