After the Storm!

Hi Nariz.. those are stunning photos :o)

Lovely scenery, certainly looks like paradise! I would love to live there!

lovely. the 2nd photo looks like it was a cross-stitch picture :o)

WOW! Awesome!

Nariz thankyou for sharing, it is indeed a paradise scene...

Amazing pictures. What a fantastic view you have.

Lovely, wonderful, heavenly, the rainbow and the peaceful scenery. Thanks for showing

I love a thunderstorm. B hates them - they make her a bag of nerves. Funny thing this evening I just told her I would rather have 10 thunderstorms than one day of snow. She disagreed lol

I love the 2nd pic :) It's beautiful

Thanks guys. :o)

i liked your remark re the embroidery effect Helen60, it really does!
lovely pics Nariz, any crocks of gold on your land??
enjoy the calm after the storm....
peace has returned here as well.

I agree with you Hywel, I love thunder storms, but my poor Mother was terrified! As for the snow I can't stand the stuff it's a real nuisance!

wow great pics Nariz :o)

Great photos of the rainbow, Nariz! :-)) We haven't seen any rain here in the last two months! Even the in Spain the weather "behaved" itself. We only got wet our last day in Cuenca when we had 3 or 4 small, for Cuenca, thunderstorms that didn't leave much water. When I was last there in Xmas/NY 2010 we had a tremendous storm that left an awful lot of water, overflowing the rivers that run through Cuenca!

Woken up to clear bright blue skies today so, hopefully, no moe storms! I think the garden was almost screaming for mercy with all the wet!

its never right were we are is it... my first reaction is " lucky you, my garden is screaming for mercy with the drought" , we can see lots of storms around but they all seem to bypass us, lots coming from your direction with much flashing and rumbling at night.

We are having a VERY windy day today here & about 6pm we even has some spots of rain! That's all it was, now at 6.30pm, the street is almost dry. This morning the allotment needed watering again even though I thought that Saturday's watering might get me a few days grace - no way I had to do a lot of it again!

When I got home I had to start watering the plants on balcony as well! Everything dries out so fast with the wind. I have a lot of new planting from last week so I can't let them go for a day or two or I'll lose them.

Managed to get some more bush Lobelias & some more Petunias to finish off the planting on the balcony. I'm putting the Petunias in the clay pots on the balcony railing & I still have 2 pots to plant up & 1 that's missing a plant. I'm putting 3 Petunias in each of the clay pots & in the hanging baskets, I've still got 2 to make up, I'm putting 4 or 5 bush Lobelias around the sides & 5 Busy Lizzies in the top with a Geranium in the very centre of each basket. Unfortunately each Geranium is different, not just in flower colour but in the leaves as well! Several are variegated - no 2 are the same! I lost the majority of my plants over the winter this year so I've had to make do with what I have to hand! I'll eventually put some photos up.

Look forward to seeing the photos, Balcony. I love geraniums (pelargoniums) in all their guises and was devastated to have lost so many in the winter of 2009, but my stock is gradually building again with regular cuttings.
