SkyWatchFriday on Haida Gwaii

 Click on any photo for some remarkable detail. 

 I consider it a privledge to be up early enough to watch the sunrise and on this particular morning you could actually see the mainland coast of British Columbia(100km away) from my meditation spot.

 Clouds don't always need to be ominous!

 And then the day begins.

My morning meditation bench.

During the afternoon this beautiful cloud formation moved in.

This kind of cloud formation is ususally the precurser of change

but it seems the change was for the good

as a subtle sunset introduced the last full moon of summer!

SkyWatch Friday ~ Autumn evening

I was sitting at the window table answering emails last evening when I looked up and saw a beautiful sunset evolving.

It was a beautiful evening for a walk, 18*C and calm.  From the dune the northeast sky was just starting to colour and a loon was calling from the ocean.

I walked through the forest to the road to witness the last of the setting sun.

From the dark the sound of geese and sandhill cranes lingered on the air....migration has started.

A walk back to the dunes through a neighbours property offered this wonderful view and the view below is the view in front of the cabin.  (For more detail click on photos, especially the bottom one, to see the whale eye!)

SkyWatch Friday #46 ~ Weather Skies

Since I arrived back on Haida Gwaii the weather has been cold, wet and windy.  I have been away long enough that it is taking me a while to re-acclimatize to coastal weather.

Our long weekend, the Victoria Day long weekend was stormy and cold but as usual the weather cleared after everyone went back to work and school.  The winds persisted after the skies cleared and the gulls were taking full advantage.

The cirrus clouds, which form above 23,000 ft or 8,000 m are an advant of changing weather, often stormy!

Later in the day these little puffy clouds known as Altocumulus (developing over 6,000 ft or 2,000 m.) showed up.

And then the big guys(stratocumulus forming below 6,000 ft or 2,000 m) moved in!

However by dusk any threat of bad weather was heading to the main land.

      And dusk (11 p.m.) was promising a nice tomorrow!

SkyWatch Friday ~ Spring sunset

 

When you live in the city it can be hard to get a good sunset.

Work, family, commuting, and schedules often suck up time.

A couple of days ago I took my four-legged charge for a walk at dusk

on the edge of the Scarborough Bluffs and was rewarded with this beautiful evening sky.
