It was the summer solstice this week. It was also, for three days only in the north of England, summer.
So let me whisk you back eighteen months, to a crisp and clear January day when I took myself off to walk for a couple of hours or so, looking upwards rather than at my surroundings. Skyscape succeeded skyscape. These changing skies perfectly illustrate this week’s WordPress Photo Challenge: transient.
Excellent illustration of the theme.

That’s a beautiful series of photos! I hope you get more of summer soon–3 days isn’t enough . . .

Well, to be fair, I’m guilty of a little dramatic license. Just now, for instance, the forecast said it would be raining. Instead …. we have sunshine.

great interpretation – seasons are transient – especially that far north. I am ten degrees or so further south and it’s a bit cool this morning 19C, but the sun is shiningg and the birds are singing. It’s gonna be a great day.

Yes, the seasons are transient, aren’t they? And my photos are so obviously of winter skies. Despite the promise of rain, which didn’t materialise, we now have summer-only white puffs of cumulus up in the sky. Enjoy those singing birds!

Those are lovely skies, Margaret. 🙂 🙂 Cloud formations can be amazing, can’t they? I especially like the type we describe as mackerel skies.

Me too. There have been some terrific skies this summer too – when I haven’t got a camera to hand, of course!

Lovely transient cloudscapes. Hope you get some more summer days! By our standards, its chilly here today as the winter turns towards longer days.

Actually, an iffy day turned out quite nice …. with far more butterfly and dragonfly sightings than usual.

Cloud formations seem to be upping their game these days. Beautiful patterns come thick and fast.

I love cloud watching! Your hilltops and my flatlands are the places to observe them. Nicely done, Margaret.

Thanks, Clare. Too much cloud today, sadly. Solid grey.
