Rain at sunset.

in #hive-1063163 years ago

Something abnormal that I have tried here and hope you will enjoy it.

I went outside to stand under our carport and the raindrops were cascading down from the carport roof. So why not try to get it on camera with the golden sunset in the background?
Come and look at my attempt to show you some beauty here.

The wind was busy in the trees and I decided to make this short video with the raindrops in the foreground.

Our little squirrels didn't allow the rain to separate them and their peanuts, and this wet little guy found a natural umbrella .

Finally, a golden color in our garden that I could not quite get the glow with my camera. But I think you know the idea.

Yes, it has been frightfully hot these past days, and the rain was the deal breaker as we have now had two days of water to stop the heatwave.
Things are not easy, especially to get around and the temperatures are in the high 30 degrees Celsius. But we make do as best we can, and mostly try to stay indoors out of the frying sun.

I hope that you have enjoyed the post and let me know what you think about it in the comments below.

And That's All Friends.

Thank you and I am glad that you liked the photos.

Love when the sky goes golden like that, greens turn greener than green, smell the rain falling feel it, dance in it's glorious arrival.

Squirrel has a cute bonnet to hide under, yes food comes first!

I saw it too late Lady Joan, as if I saw it earlier we would have raced down to the beach to get that golden glow on the ocean. The fine rain is indeed very refreshing.

The squirrels are very clever !LOLZ

When golden glow it is a beautiful sight, when skies go green run for covering, nature has great signals warning. Gentle rains over yesterday and last night about 40mm which will help everything get a foothold and grow again. Promise of another couple of days then all hell lets lose once again!

There is a autopsy convention starts this week.
Friday is open Mike night.

Yep and one of our signals is the Halo around the sun. The darker the worse the storm.
It is the breathers that we are thankful for.
We had our Saturday planned out and then early this morning our phone rang.
So we started our day in fierce winds at the beach, a lady wanted us to take her to her doctor down there.
They call this the "White Horses"

I will start a post with this photo tomorrow. Was going to do a second post today, but no time, so will only have to rely on the one post and for some reason my posts are not doing well.
But such is life and many others are also struggling.

!LOLZ

White horses always spectacular, we can hear the sea up the valley when high seas occur.

Sometimes less is more, I have been super busy with selling a car, finding a car to drive that is suitable for my son and I to share (which we have done for the last ten years). Not always able to write and keep up all the time.

!LUV take it easy, we can only do what we are able in the time we have.

Oh yes they are lovely to see. We can only hear the sea at high tide when the wind comes from that direction, as we are 6 kilometers away.

Cars are never easy to find especially in the used market and people mostly buy another man's problems. Marian's Polo Vivo was brand new in 2015 and it has served us very well up to this day.
Of course any car without a current service history book is not worth looking at.
Hope that you will find the best car for you guys.

!LUV and fully agreed.

As the bird flies we are about one kilometer from sea, echoes up the valley when road is quiet one can hear the waves crashing.

Have settled on new, as you say buying second hand (expensive now as well), is dubious more often than not. My son and I share vehicle, which he drives more often than not.

!LUV to Marian and Yourself. Now to prepare documents that have to be done.

Ah and I bet that sounds great at night when all of the traffic is gone. I would love to sleep with that sound in my ear.

A great relief, as new, although it's painful on the pocket, is always better.
Watch the paper work though as when we bought the new Polo, the registration papers stated that there was a previous owner !!!
This could not be as the kilometer reading was zero, 0.
Turned out that a salesman claimed the sale falsely to get the commission. At least that's what we were told.

!LUV to you guys as well and hope that you will have success with the new car purchase.

Good evening Hannes,

No, it's summer and we are in our hottest month. The rain was soft and it wasn't a storm, so it just brought us some relief from the incessant heat.
Thank you and I would have loved to be at the ocean to get the colors, but sadly I saw it too late.
The squirrels are very clever my friend 🤣 !LOLZ

Cheers and thanks.

Good evening Zac,

at least the rain has cooled a bit down and I hope for you that some rain clouds will visit you during February whenever it gets too hot.


!PIZZA and !BEER - sounds like a nice dinner :)

Good evening Hannes,

We just finished planting Jasmine bushes in the garden as it's too dark to continue now.
Yes, the rain has cooled things for two days, but now we are back to the heat grindstone again.

All of us are praying for rain and so we will wait and see what happens, as it takes hope and trust.

Cheers and thanks.

Good evening Zac,

Jasmine? I love the smell of Jasmine 😊
I'm hoping with you for some rain


!PIZZA and !BEER - sounds like a nice dinner :)

Good evening Hannes,

Oh yes they say that Jasmine is the favorite smell of kings and they do not have it wrong, as it is a heavenly smell 😀
No luck as the next week will be in the 30s again.

Cheers and thanks.

Those drops were really falling fast! It is tough to catch and isolate a drop like you did. I love to film falling objects. I have found a fast shutter speed is a must. Say here is a drop from an icicle. Maybe that will cool you down lol.

What a lovely ice drop and you got it spot on right.
Yes shutter speeds are important an so is light, which in my case was not very favorable for taking photos.
