I love the drama of stormy spring skies
The strong wind was whipping the clouds along at a rate of knots, the light, changing so fast that the moments were hard to capture, I had to be quick off the mark, which meant I abandoned the family to their own devices yet again, Mr Uhdd was expecting me to cut his hair when I dashed to take these shots (he should be grateful I wasn’t half way through the job.)

Reminds me of times I’ve been in Cornwall in the spring! xx

Brings back memories of riding along the Tissington Trail in similar weather. Now whenever i’m horse riding on days like that I always think of Derbyshire and wish I was back there.

I love the drama, too! I’m amazed at how familiar this landscape looks – then realize I’ve been visiting it for quite awhile now. Bracing place. Interesting people. Challenging ideas. OK, and a lovely goofball sense of humor, too.

Great photos, love the one with the gate. The drama of stormy skies is wonderful but the wind I can do without I fear!

Beautiful shots.
I’ve always liked the contrast between the spring colors and storm skies, too. Those dark grey skies really bring out the colors in the plants.

Beautiful. Every time I see your landscape photos, I feel like I’m back in your beautiful country and that’s a good feeling. It’s so nice to know that you can live there and find it as unique and wonderful as a visitor does.

I never get bored with stormy skies.
