There are many references in sea going literature to being stranded in the Doldrums – very little movement and the protagonists wonder if they will ever move on – “all the boards did shrink”. Such has been the case around here for a week or so and I have found little reason to head out with my camera – the sky was flat and featureless – looked like someone had ironed a sheet. Kept myself occupied with exercise, lawn mowing, weeding, watering and cleaning my house – all of which needed doing.
To my surprise and delight yesterday afternoon the sky filled with some very interesting cloud formations. I kept watching until evening and headed out to one of my favorite local spots to capture a sunset. God Speak! Me and a little golden lab spent time just enjoying the evening. Finally his owner showed up in a panic to claim him and I loaded the car and headed for home. Click on the image for a larger view and as always comments are more than welcome.
