Bad weather always looks worse through a window.
– Tom Lehrer –

Skywatch keeps creeping up on me when we have rain and cloudy skies. The rain had stopped this afternoon but it was still cloudy when Sammy and I went for a walk.

I think this is stunning. First of all of the beautiful green is there and then there is that lovely spot of red dead center. Very nice! :-)

I can’t tell you how much I love this!
It’s dreamlike for me.
The framing makes the red bush pop out at you and it’s gorgeous!
I just want to keep looking at it and imagining being there. I can almost smell the rain coming.

That red bush was a beauty in the composition.
PS in bad weather one is often saved by the hard disk ;-)

Great photo – I have to agree with everyone on the red bush, all the colors, and the composition. And it’s nice to have a reminder of nicer weather!:)

I know it’s SWF, but I really like that tree. Thanks for the comment, and every sunrise was viewed with tea in a comfy chair. Happy SWF!

Actually, it looks pretty darn beautiful to me! Lovely colors and sometimes the subdued light helps bring those out more. Nice shot, and your header photo is awesome.

This is incredible. The colors are so vivid. The sky is showing it’s own personality. The vines are wonderful. The perspective fantastic. This is really a terrific capture.
