SKY

The sky was a kaleidoscope yesterday. Frequently shaken.
There was no rain to speak of. Just the occasional rise in humidity as the clouds formed and reformed and moved off and moved in then moved off above us.

(I almost had to post without my photos this morning – they are increasingly slow to load into my media file- sometimes as long as an hour – there is something wrong with my system and I need to focus on it later today – but it is wasting my time and I hate to waste time! I will put my favourite up onto Instagram so scroll down and see it there soon. Problems with programs is SO BORING!)

Anna and I got all the work done that we wanted done then raided the garden and cooked good food. img_4018

Today I will begin to retrain the ducks to their new area in the barn. We have cleaned in the barn and sorted things out and I want to herd the ducks into the barn at night time now. I will start that tonight but I am not sure if it will work. They will go where they are herded of course. So I will begin with feeding them in there every evening.  They graze right beside the barn door I want them to come and go from but it will be interesting to see if they stay in there or just fly back out in the night and return to their old sleeping area. They have outgrown their little shelter in the field though. img_4020

Three eggs were laid yesterday. So they need to move – that space is way too small for ducks to be waddling about and laying and stepping on each others eggs with their big flat feet. img_4022img_4024

  1. Thank you! But ‘no, thanks’ for me !! For most readers here your photos show beauty – for me they denote ‘fear’ !! Perchance darkness and drama and matters uncontrolled take me back to a childhood of bombs and devastation and endless murder, rape and pillage I could not understand or in any way control . . . . I love the mostly clear skies and gentle winds above me now . . . . . look at yours as photographic art I do appreciate but cannot share . . .

    • Here in Southwestern Ontario I was within about 3 miles of a tornado when I was in my late teens – a very unusual weather event for this area. Folks in tornado alley in the US might say that wasn’t really all that close, but I saw enough destruction to think that it was quite close enough for me. I still watch for storm clouds and odd skies, but the pictures posted here did not give me that fearful reaction.

      It is difficult thinking that sky photos I see as beautiful would have such a fearful and devastating connotation for you. It takes something like your comment to remind us that individual experiences have an effect on everything. Thank you for making me think about the “other side”.

      Wishing you clear skies and gentle winds.

      • A whole day later and almost by accident: Hello Chris and thank you so much !!! I can only guess at my reluctance to be comfortable with violence in nature . . . so, some of this may be psychologically incorrect . . . perchance growing up in a violent world of war simply asked for the rest to be gentle and in peace . . . .shall surely be looking our for your future comments . . . and greetings for early spring Australia . . .
