30th July 2006
no sign of hail

I have to say, that when an old auntie of Mrs N's informed her that we would be having hail today,
with hailstones the size of golf balls,
the words 'poppy' and 'cock' sprang to mind.
Under beautiful blue skies we nipped in to town.
On the way back though the clouds began to gather,
and I began to think that I might have to eat my hat.
(Luckily it's a pork pie hat)
But the clouds began to dissipate
and we're back to blue skies again.

great stormy clouds..

Sweet. Yeah sure the sky and clouds are great but small part of very nice picture. Great detail, color, and light on the field. All is very natural looking. Nice composition.

Powerful shot. You know for an itinerant Tower jockey, you are a really fine photographer. Maybe you should quite your day (or is it night?) job.
