Can't pick a favourite as each scene has its own special appeal. I'm another one who has not heard of the term "mackerel" applied to the sky/clouds - thanks for expanding my vocabulary! Wishing you a grand and healthy 2014 John and am looking forward to seeing more of your "pet walks"!Valeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12298828743045284127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3404276749629719070.post-34060984130119937402014-01-08T20:17:47.813+00:002014-01-08T20:17:47.813+00:00Happy New Year!

A "mackerel sky?" I never had a name for that particular kind of cloudy sky before. And your dead roses could have been painted by a notable Dutch artist of the 17th century.

Your first photo made it all worthwhile - you must've seen it coming?! That's another grand ole' tree outside of the sheep paddock; it just towers way over all the others. MY, another amazing sky; I've never heard of a mackerel sky but I instantly think of 'silver' as in mackerel fish, or is it meant as a Holy Mackerel!! sky?? :) Then the beautiful fungi...and a cuppa. You must've enjoyed that knowing of the photo-bounty you'd collected and the fresh air and exercise were a plus. <br />Carole M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13261384312136535762noreply@blogger.com
