Beautiful Glow - I thought the orange tint was great looking as the sun started to set

This was taken on Wed Oct 24th around sunset time. We here in Minnesota had not seen the sun for a week and a half due to many days of raining. It was a welcomed relief to finally get some sunshine. I had gotten so "down" due to the gloomy rainy days in a long stretch like we had. It's finally fall with normal high temps in the low 50's and lows near 20 at night. feels great to be free of the rainy days for a bit. Now I can't wait for the snow to start falling. What has the weather been like in your neck of the woods lately? Do you hate rainy days or what? HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB!!~

This is a beautiful photo ( I left a comment). I prefer this type of photo, plus scenery photos more than any other. It is fascinating to watch the different cloud formations. My daughter & I were only commenting on the clouds this morning. The weather here is not that great. Coolish, overcast, but without much rain. It's going to be like this for a few days. Last saturday we had a big storm.,

Close looking - Looks almost as if you could reach up & touch it
I also prefer natural photos such as nature and weather related myself. Here's another one for you then. Tee hee hee. This cloud appears very close. Seems like you could reach up & touch it. I've heard of the tornadoes down there. Any near you at all? Hope not. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB!!~

Another lovely photo; I left a comment. The tornado was in New South Wales, no where near me. It did a lot of damage. Tornadoes are very unusual in Australia.

Nice photo providing, thanks Grandpa Bob. Means winter is coming to your place when long days of rain poured onto your area. oh...I don't know how to hate the weather. The more I hate the worse it will be..LOL!!!. In my place, Kuala Lumpur, since last two weeks having downpour everyday. It is a normal thing to have flash flood due to poor city drainage system if downpour continues for 4 hours, even though there is a 'smart tunnel' in the city. And again, thanks Grandpa Bob for that photo.

I don't hate the weather so to say. I hate when it stays the same and gloomy etc. it brings the spirits down and makes me feel so lost at times when it's like that is all. I love weather usually. hahahaha!! What's a smart tunnel anyhow? HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

We have settled into a fall pattern and are hovering about twenty degrees above you both in daytime highs and night time lows. I bought a coat for my cutie pie grandbaby that lives near you and I will have to get it mailed off, so it will be of some earthly use to someone. It is too big for my cats to wear, and not their color anyway. i will let the snow hold off for a little while yet.

It's been raining also from our neck of the woods too grandpa Bob... here in the phils., oct to jan are cooler months with some rains and its also the typhoon months for us here. I don't like to travel from one island to another during those months because it sometimes becomes cloudy and the oceans become too temperamental for my taste. But its always great to have some change of weather after a long time of no rain.

I have been caught in a typhoon a lot of times Grandpa Bob. I have experience seeing firsthand roofs flying, houses destroyed & trees uprooted. I also experienced being stranded for several days in a place because I can't go anywhere bec of the typhoon. Once, I was caught in the middle of the ocean while on board a conventional vessel bound south. To survive the typhoon, the captain hid the boat near one island and stayed there for 2 nights and 3 days. My parents and bf at that time went almost crazy with worry. LOL!

What a beautiful sunset. Thanks for sharing it with all of us. I live in Indiana and we have had a lot of rain also. Today, however was beautifully sunny. Not to crisp but just enough to know that it is autumn. I also love the snow but am not quite ready for it yet. Seems like we are leaping straight from a very long hot summer into winter. I would love for spring and autumn to last as long as summer and winter seem to. They are such gorgeous times of year and seem to rush by.

I love Indiana. I lived in West Bend many many moons ago. It was also near 60 here and sunny all day. Only getting down to 45 tonight then another day near 70 and sunny for tuesday. Then the cold front and rain come in. Can't wait for the snow personally. I started up my snowblower today to make sure it was running good. HAHAHA!! HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

Oh, We are getting our fireplace chimney cleaned out and ready to go. tomorrow we are going to get some wood stacked on the deck so it is handier to carry in rather then from the shed it is stored in. I have the glass jar of marshmallows already sitting on the hearth ready to roast. I guess this means winter is coming.

I have pictures of clouds in here too. :) I love taking pictures of clouds or the sky in my parent’s place because it has a wider space that you could almost see is just the wide sky.

Thank you very much. Here in Minnesota we set a couple records for rain. The most rain in the 3 months of Aug, Sept, and Oct. Then we've also set the record for the most rain in Oct as well. Unreal rain after a serious drought in the dspring and summer. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

leaves changing colors - trees with some green leaves
That is a very pretty photo. The weather here in the Chicago area is not quite as cold as by you. The nights are in the mid 30's and the days are in the 60's. We have been getting a lot of wind but with lots of sun. I can't complain.:) I love the snow and I know that Minnesots does seem to get a lot of it. We still have some trees with green leaves. I took this photo today of my tree.

It a nice picture. Here in Shenzhen China, it's starting to have a cold weather. I can't hate rainy days because I know the sun will come out after... together with the rainbow.

Thank you very much also. I love taking photos and posting them here. That's the main thing I do here is take photos just for the purpose of making a discussion. I don't go anywhere most times without my Canon PowerShot A540 digital camera. Not cold here just average finally. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~
