Overcast

Photo taken Autumn 2024 in Westport

We are starting to get a few more overcast days here and there. Earlier this week I noticed a slight chill in the air. The Winters here tend to be dry and cold not damp and I think by April/May we will no doubt we using our fireplace a bit more. But our Autumns and Springs are usually catching up on the rain we don't get over Summer. This week much of the country, not just us is being inundated with rain. We live 5 minutes out of town so semi-rural and there is a portion of road on the way in that seems to lift up with rain and as usual the road contractors just smooth it over and relay it instead of putting drainage under it and fixing it properly. sigh.

Linking up with Skywatch FridayAll Seasons and Tom's signs.

I'm trying to find out how cold it gets in The Sounds. Either it's colder than I expected or people here are wimps - everyone says very cold. Perhaps we should have moved to the West Coast.

The more photos I see of New Zealand main streets the fewer I now recognise. I suspect few have changed much in the 10 years since I left New Zealand so I suspect my memory for many is dimming.

Looks like our skies now. We have just stopped nightly fires

So funny that with us it's just the other way around.

We went from overcast to sunny skies the last few days. 15C here right now.

Today was 17C, tomorrow is forecasted more normal 5C. And below freezing point night temps next week. So not too springy..

Nice photo of the town. We've been having overcast skies off and on.

We have some terrible flooding at the moment - the images of the cattle stuggling is most distressing.

THanks for sharing with #Allseasons

Are the farmers trying to sort their cattle out? I hope so.

I like the night lights ... they lend a bit of magic to the overcast. :)
