Hope, you and your loved ones are grounded well and enjoy the clarity which the storm brings when blowing all the old and heavy stuff away.
Much love,

Sorry to hear that spring is eluding you Mike, but this certainly made for one fabulous photo! 🙂 Are you and your family still planning to head over our way this summer?
Not really Mike. We have an average annual rainfall of about 600mm in Christchurch. Since January we have had about 440mm and most of that fell in March and April! We are beginning to feel water logged. I suppose March and April aren’t summer months but we normally expect more sunshine than we’ve had.
That’s a shame, we certainly know how it feels to have an unsatisfactory summer, most recent have been complete wash outs, apart from last year
This is gorgeous! I am headed to my little place on the coast in Mexico in two weeks. No waves like that since it’s in the Gulf of California, but still, a little piece of heaven. Some day I will see crashing waves!
Great photo. Here in Northern Ireland it’s been raining & well raining some more! The winds have been strong too but not like the impression given in the photograph

I agree with LuAnn! 😉

Thanks Steffi, the clouds and winds have left us to a pure blue sky, so all is well 🙂

Hi LuAnn, yes we’re all set, coming over in late June, can’t wait. Hope you have a lovely summer in your camp 🙂
Thanks Mike! Enjoy your US trip. I will be looking forward to some posts on your adventures. 🙂
And you once said it was not possible to take beautiful pictures of stormy weather 😉 !!
Ah yes! I was obviously seriously underestimating the other Mike’s talents 🙂
Spectacular photo, Mike!
Thanks Jo 🙂
I wouldn’t mind a postponement on winter here. 🙂
Yes I know how you feel, did you have good weather overall this summer? Hope so 🙂

Awesome scene!
Thanks Terry, I was nearly blown off my feet (again!)
So dramatic! And beautiful. Our spring in northern Illinois has been on and off. It’s on right now. But that will change next week.
I guess that’s spring for you, can’t quite decide to make up its mind 🙂
Stormy yet beautiful photograph. Soon you’ll be inspired by blue skies, I hope!
You’re right Elisa, stormy but very beautiful 🙂

Sounds like a little piece of heaven you’re headed to Emilie, enjoy!

It sure has been rough, hopefully storm before the calm 🙂
WOW! I would not want to be out there in a small boat! Fantastic photo though.
I know Anneli the waves were so powerful, not a place for a small boat at all!
