Picture This #241 ~ Extraordinary Weather

Hi all bAZ here!!

Mitch kindly invited me to Host again this week, a task I gladly accepted, so here we are again ready for another challenge!!

I dont think there are many of us that have not had some sort of extremes in weather conditions over the last few months. It seems like around the whole planet there there are few places not touched by unusual weather, so my theme this week is  "Extraordinary Weather", this can include the whole spectrum of weather conditions from unusually good weather to the most extreme conditions. 

I feel sure that many of you have captured some extraordinary events over the Winter here in the North and the Summer in the South!! If you don't have any from this past winter, then any from your archive will be ok.

Here are a few shots I have captured in the Winter storms here in England.

Have fun with this and have a wonderful weekend ;)

So it begins! First big Flood at Ringwood Hampshire Just after Christmas.

Coming of the Storm, the last big storm heading east and on the horizon, I stayed as long as was safe but the wind picked up to a point where it was hard to stand up and it was time to go!!

After the storm, Somewhere..................

A final thought that I consider myself very lucky to have come through this winter virtually unscathed. 

Thousands of people in Britain have been flooded out and many are still under water and I know in America the country has experienced drought in the west and the most extreme cold on the eastern seaboard!!

Picture This #240 ~ Colours Of The Rainbow

Looking at rainbows. The colors that make them.

They show when the rains start to fade away in most cases.

And at other times, it is just as the storm starts.

This is going to be my second attempt. The first one wouldn't accept my html.

Didn't work the second time either so am going to load them from My Pictures.

Sorry Mitch, don't know what is wrong with Flickr!

Anyone would think I like roses!!

Picture This #240 ~ Colours Of The Rainbow

First of all thank you so much for my banner photo. I will tell the rose about her place honour as soon as she starts to blossom this year. Also thank you Marianne for hosting. Here are the photos from the Swiss Team (I, me and myself)

Let's start with a rainbow, taken in my village

Even the sky over our village can be quite colourful

The flower dept. of the local supermarket is a good source for colour

Good Morning all,

 Congrats to Pat on a wonderful header image and to Marianne on selecting a wonderful theme for this week.

When I was a student we had a great mnemonic  for remembering the colours of the rainbow:

Red - Richard
Orange - of 
Yellow - York
Green  - Gave 
Blue - Battle
Indigo - in
Violet - Vain

It has stuck with me to this day! LOL
OK so here are my selection of images reflecting the rainbow.

Have a wonderful weekend ;)
