Before 9:00 A.M. today - Sadie and I were given a concert by at least 4 different V's of Canadian Geese flying around treetop looking for a place to set down.
The August fog started building around 11:00 last night. The moon made the gradual development over the bean field to above the treetops rather ethereal.
The first V came last week on August 6th, a group of approximately 20, flew low over the end of the drive a half mile to the west of the house.
Beginning to make me wonder if they are getting started on their way south ,because winter is going to be early this year??? ;)
The above picture of a curious cloud formation was seen hanging over our west pasture before sunset one evening.We had a night filled with some severe weather in central Iowa, on the evening of August 14th. Here at home we just had lots of clouds, some swift breezes,and eventually some rain.
Hubby's Experimental Aircraft Association's monthly meeting was interrupted by a sighted tornado over the city of Marshalltown. It stayed parallel to the clouds,but was visibly rotating.
This summer has brought some really pretty evening clouds...or maybe I have seen more of them,because of my increased encouragement to be outside.
The clouds in the picture below changed constantly. As did the way the shadows developed as the sun passed from top to bottom as it finally dropped below the horizon. Created a sense of peace and beauty as it slipped silently out of view... ;)
