The clouds control the sun.

A second time that Mother nature played her tricks on me.

This was how it all started and I was glad that the big mouth of the approaching dark cloud at the left missed eating the colored cloud.

So, yesterday moring after 3 hours sleep, I was outside in the garden at 5am and thought that I would show you the sunrise.
Sleeping is not easy these days, but I perseverve and simply continue to do what I do,
But I digress and this is about an attack by the clouds.

Half an hour later the scene had changed and now lovely red clouds streamed along the mountain tops.

Gradually the cloud cover became richer which meant that the sun was rising higher behind the mountain.

There were also more color in the cloud streams.

Yay, it seemed that the sun would soon break through, as I wanted a shot that showed the first sun rays sliding down the mountain range.

Here was a shot an hour later and the entire scene had changed once again.

But not to be, as finally the sun tried to show its face, but the clouds refused.
I was lucky to get some big birds cossing the sun in this shot.

So I had to say bin voyage to the sun and the funny thing is that after about 3 hours all of the clouds were gone and the sky was blue and clear.
Yes, Mother nature tricked me again with the clouds, but she knows that I love her and all was well in my soul.

How many times have you been tricked by Mother nature?
Come and tell me in the comments below.

And That's All Friends!

The clouds move due to the uneven heating of the surface of the earth, arguable the sun controls the evaporation precipitation.

Makes total sense to me as in the cold the mountains turn into fridges and they draw the clouds.
The sun, oh and the moon controls many occurrences in the weather patterns in nature and the atmosphere.

The whole day today was beautifully sunny and this evening the clouds started to form. I wonder if there will be any rain. With summer approaching fast we can do with a little bit of the last rains! Awesome photographs. As a baker, I know the beautiful sunrises when you get up at 4 am to prep for the bakery. The cape robin-chat always held me good company. But now when I hear their calls my heart stops for a second, reminding me of those early mornings.

If we can get a little philosophical: aren't we just a collection of our memories?

It's always amazing how fast the clouds change their color at sunrise, depending on how high they are and if the sunlight is able to reach them. I can't see enough of such beautiful photos 😃
The first photo reminds me on a sunset photo of mine where the whole sky was cloudy, but a slightly orange cloud was to see in a small gap.


!BEER and !WINE - both make a nice dinner with !PIZZA :)

Thank you kindly, and in our case here the very strong winds can move those clouds and change their colors like an artist's paintbrush. One moment they are light yellow, the next moment they are dark red split by deep blue colors. I also love them.

I think I saw that photo that you are talking about and it was beautiful.

Cheers and thanks.
