The last few days of rain and successive storm fronts have provided some great clouds.

Towering column of grey and white clouds with silhouettes of conifers in the front lower left corner. Dark blue sky in the upper right.

Grey & white clouds, backlit by sunshine, are coming from behind tree covered foothills.

A brief break in the clouds lets the sun shine on the foothills. Dark green conifers are interspersed with gold, yellow and, ochre coloured poplars. The upper half of the frame is medium grey clouds coming from behind the foothills.

Another storm front moving in. The top of the frame is clear greyish blue sky. Below is a ridge of flat bottomed puffy clouds that hangs over a tree line of dark green conifers & gold coloured Cottonwoods. In the lower left corner a shallow pond.

Clematis seed heads after another heavy rain.

Clematis seed head; rain drops are suspended on the ends of the pinkish tendrils in the upper left against a very dark green. The bottom of the frame is light yellow. In the droplets themselves can be seen reverse images of a columnar cedar.

Canada Geese are on their way South. A small group were resting on a gravel bar in the middle of the North Nechako River.

A lone Canada Goose standing on the backside of a sand bar. The bird is alert. Sun is shining on the bird from the right. The background river water is a muddy brown/green colour.

A gravel bar in the river. Behind it, gold coloured Poplar trees are interspersed with a few dark green conifers. The sky is mostly light grey & white clouds. Looking closely at the gravel bar, the specks center right are a small flock of Canada Geese.

Rain, damp and cool nights; fungi are appearing.

A single mushroom amongst fallen leaves and blades of grass. The mushroom's stem is twisted and the cap is folded up exposing the gills.

A single long stemmed mushroom in front of fallen leaves. The mushroom has a small yellowish cap.

The sun came out this morning, whoo hoo!!! The poplars on the foothills are showing their autumn golds.

A hill top with a mix of conifers and deciduous trees. The conifers are a deep green. The poplars and alders are gold, amber and lime coloured. This section of hill top is more golds than green and set against a sky that is light Robin egg blue.

Have a great weekend!

It is such a soggy, dreary day. Rained for several hours, once it stopped the clouds came down to rest on the top of the foothills. No sunshine peeking through today! The garden snails are loving the weather and feeling quite amorous.

Hillside with a mix of conifers & deciduous trees. The poplars are turning yellow, but the colours are all muted by the mist/low hanging cloud.

Two garden snails are circling each other on a wet, flat rock. They are preparing to copulate.

And on the other side of the pond, in the northern interior of British Columbia, the sky is the colour of lead, everything is sodden & even the crows looked dejected. There's always tomorrow😉.
