Blue to black, and back to blue.

It was a lovely sunny afternoon yesterday when I set off for a walk. A gentle breeze kept me cool. I kept my eyes open for new angles for the photographs. I think this long grass looks quite delicate as it wafts gently in the wind. The fluffy white clouds and blue sky are the perfect backdrop.  

I was more than half way round when the sky took a dramatic turn and menacing black clouds came rolling in. 

Then the thunder started and huge droplets of rain came down in an instant deluge. I made for the shelter of a tree as I fumbled in my rucksack to retrieve the brolly from the bottom. Oh my, did it come down heavily for ten minutes. I stood still and waited for the shower to pass. 

The thunder and lightening continued from somewhere over yonder. Eventually it eased, but by this time the waist high grass along the edge of the field was soaking wet. Nothing for it but to walk through it. Although the brolly kept the worst of it off my head and shoulders, my skirt was stuck to my legs and my boots and socks were soaked through to my feet. Squelch squelch.  

When I reached the edge of the village it was back to blue skies again. It became very hot and humid. 

Passing the allotments I saw a rainbow. 

By the time I got home my skirt was almost dry, but it will take a few days to dry out the boots. 

I've finished the new artwork and will post pictures tomorrow. It was nice having a couple of days off, I might do that more often. Thanks for popping in. Catch ya tomorrow. Toodle pip.   ilona
