Wordless Wednesday ~ What a difference a night makes!

 I took this picture to try and catch the sunset last night where I am staying on Vancouver Island.

 I did not realize that what I captured late afternoon yesterday over Victoria would lead to this...

 about seven inches of beautiful light fluffy snow!!!!

Wordless Wednesday

SkyWatch Friday ~ April Showers

As the saying goes..."April showers brings forth May flowers"....  

Two days of rain and it seems that everything has come alive...

buds are ready to burst open,

and some already have

and there is colour everywhere

even the dry brown of the weekend is beginning to green up.

As dusk drew nigh the clouds broke up

as a cold front advances

and promises to drop temperatures and bring s*?*!
