Just thought I'd share a few pics from our windy walk today. I recently bought a book on clouds which my OH has pinched and is reading! So I'm beginning to notice clouds more when I'm out and thought this first pic showed how interesting they can be. Spot the little whippet in the left hand corner! :lol:

You can tell how much rain we've had by the amount of water that is pouring off the hills. :unsure:

And just a couple of Muffin & Jonah not up to much for once! :- "

Hello Gilliwigs,

I'm new at this but thought your photos were great. I'm in Toronto, Canada, and didn't realize you are still having so much rain. We've had so little rain that the farmers have lost their crops. Your dogs (and cat) are adorable. My husband has 3 greyhounds and I have two shih tzus and a little parrot. Cheers! Barbj

Lovely scenery ..... a little like Dartmoor where I am

I got Jinny from Derbyshire and the first picture looks very similar to the landscape which surrounded the farm she came from. I thought it was stunningly beautiful and isolated :thumbsup:

lovely pictures once again..........those two go on some lovely walks :thumbsup:

I actually meant that Jonah was in the left hand corner of the photo, but after what you said I looked again and you can see a whippet face in the clouds - I think it looks a bit like a running whippet and he has a bit of a funny nose but it definitely looks like a whippet! (w00t) Can anyone else see it?

Here we go Ann - I've tried to draw around it. It may take a bit of imagination to see it but I like to think it's there!

Cloud spotting seems to be a bit of a cult thing at the moment. There were a few items on breakfast television recently, and I noticed this book in Tesco's, The Cloudspotter's Guide by Gavin Pretor-Pinney. He has formed the Cloud Appreciation Society because he thinks we are all hung up on having clear blue skies and sunny weather all the time! :- "

My husband is well into it now - I kept having to wait for him to catch me up on our walk today. When I looked round he was either picking blackberries (making jam and chutney is his other passion at the moment! :lol: ) or standing still trying to identify the clouds. :b He said to me at 4pm that the Cumulonimbus clouds, the 'king' of clouds would be along soon with very heavy rain and sure enough as we came out of Tescos later this evening it was chucking it down, (w00t) so I'm well impressed! Just waiting for him to finish so that I can have a read too. :thumbsup:

Just taken a look at that site - it's really interesting. :cheers:

Really lovely pics Gillian, it's not really stopped raining here all day, miserable weather.

We were in Whitby last week & I took this one evening, it looked much more spectacular in real life & was quite surreal to see. Maybe your OH can tell us what the scientific name for this formation is.

 

[jezza]

You lot must have vivid imaginations (w00t) I was sat there for ages thinking it must be like one of those 'magic eye' pictures and that the whippet would leap out at me at any minute, but it didn't

Is that area the way we would've driven home from your house? We were admiring the scenery most of the way home. Well, until we hit Barnsley :lol:

 

[Trish]

im a cloud gazer too :thumbsup: i ususally see faces in clouds and dogs and cats,sometimes the clouds can get very biblical like what you saw on say jesus of nazareth the film :wacko:

Yes, that is up the valley from us, on your way home. :thumbsup: Richard's parish extends right to the Yorkshire border - 8 miles in length and about the same across the hills - and consists mainly of sheep rather than people! (w00t) :lol: It must be one of the most unpopulated parishes in England.

That's a lovely picture of clouds Julie. I haven't asked Richard if he knows what they are yet though! I love Whitby -we're off to the North Yorkshire Moors in a few weeks time - can't wait.
