Just before the storm!
These are the times that I love and a man in the sky was sending out a warning!
Of course silence descends almost like a held up breath that covers the landscape. The animals and the trees know that much water is coming and they are all preparing for it. Even the flowers are closing up shop and the small insects have all retired into the sanctuary of their shelters.
Spend some time with me in nature's silent song!
The tree looks like a big dog growling at the sky!
Seagulls scatter for home without a sound, gliding like ghosts across the sky!
A dove makes a final u-turn before landing!
This pigeon was taking a short cut home!
What is that, an alligator with a sun eye?
Looks indeed like some kind of animal!
Such warm colors in this picture!
Finally time to go as fairy drops tumbles down!
The sessions prior to a storm always hold me spellbound and I think that mother nature has transferred her fixations into my heart. A sort of apprehension and knowledge to protect washes over me and I start to shut down exactly like the flowers do.
One can but only stand in wonder at the beauty of nature!
Hope that you have enjoyed the pictures and thank you for visiting a post by @papilloncharity
awesome pics. you should use the photography tag too, there's a photo tribe on steem - https://www.photostreem.com
also, use a frontend like busy.org to add more tags :)
Thank you my friend.
I used the #photography tag for a long time, but found that there are other tags that give a greater response. Maybe I should look at a front end that offers more tags.
Thank you for the kind advice.
Hope that you have a good Friday.
Blessings!
good to see you using esteemapp :) you can continue to use it but esteem tag is not mandatory for curation!!
Well, then I can certainly replace the esteem tag with #photography?
Cape of Storms living up to it's name again Stephen summer is arriving quickly once again, soon your winter rains will dry up.

We hope that you have a good Friday.

I to love watching the clouds coming in often with such drama before a storm, and these are great shots of it :)
Thank you JJ, nothing compares to the dramatic scenes that nature can conjure up. Drama galore.
Blessings!
Ohh yes without a doubt and speaking of natures magic I am just heading out to the beach and hoping it gives me some magic for sunrise this morning
Ooh...that sounds nice. Hope nature's magic made it's appearance for you!
ITs wasnt to special this morning but a nice relaxing and refreshing walk on the beach is always a great way to start the day for me :)
That's nature for you JJ. Some days surprises will appear, many that we are not even aware of and only see when we open our photos. Other days would be mundane and almost lifeless.
But one thing is a constant, relaxing and refreshing, as it's nature's very own medicine for the soul.
You are right, as it's an ideal way to start the day.
Blessings!
Medicine for our soul that’s a great way to put it and so very true
I love how Mother Nature is never predictable makes it always interesting and fun
It is her unpredictability that I live for my friend. Always going around expecting something and grateful for whatever happens. Almost like a dailt adventure.
Blessings!
I really enjoy it, just like the animals do, when we rain we seek shelter and we only dare to look through the window to the rain fall, only the most daring eventually we can enjoy for a short time how wonderful it is to feel the rain fall.
Well, I am not the most daring, but I am often out in the rain my friend.
Only problem that I have is that my camera lens gets wet.
Rain is always a blessings as the water brings life with it.
Hope that you have a good Friday.
Blessings!

Take care my friend and watch the storm from a safe place. We too in Greece had a sudden drop of temperature today and a great storm yesterday evening.
Glad that you guys are safe Sir George.
Storms bring us water and water is life.
We are also okay over here.
Thank you for the kind support my friend.
Please remember to give me a message about you know what for the church on Sunday.
