Ghostly Sunrise
One minute I looked and there was nothing, the next, this faint outline of the rising sun. It doesn’t look like rain – remember the forecast for today was 100% precipitation? Today the forecast is only for 30% rain.
I wouldn’t mind a little rain.
Today is one of those “miles to go before I sleep” kind of days. While it isn’t a snowy evening, and “woods” is not a word I would easily associate with Kuwait, nonetheless, I have promises to keep . . .
Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening
Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.
He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound’s the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.
The woods are lovely, dark and deep.
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.

Here There and Everywhere 
I dont care about the weather… I AM SO HAPPY TO BE BACK 😀
Where is the heavy rain they spoek of ? It 1pm almost and nothing!! We need a good soaking!
Nice blue skies where I am…
We need the rain – but in an hour or so… It’s nice working in the garden 🙂
Hamd’allal 3la salaama, habeebti! Glad you are back. Time to start cooking! 🙂
LLOOLL, Amer, we had that eight drop “torrential rain” this morning! It is supposed to be a real squall tonight; boats are warned not to go out, high wind conditions.
Oh, Bu Yousef! How did the alyssum do this winter? The gardens around town are growing gloriously – I see lush bougainvillia, my hands down favorite in Kuwait.
It lasted… Still there after going through a couple of weeks of almost disappearing.
See below… Taken at ours last week:
I think I agree with you… Green all year, lives for ever and ages gracefully (stems make beautiful shapes) and glorious colours in the spring.
Oh! Gorgeous!
In Doha I had bougainvilla with two different colors on it! Pink and white! Oh, I love growing bougainvilla! You shot is glorious; it looks so healthy and happy!
It’s 2:30am – midday for those of us working a night shift – and it’s raining, complete with lightening out over the gulf generating thunder booms every few minutes. Judging by the activity in the puddles by the curb we have pretty heavy drizzle going on Gulf. Wish my photo skills were a little better so I could do a decent lightening shot.
LOL, Ken, I was up watching too, for a little while. I used to try lightening shots, but you really have to have a tripod, and a very long shutter release. I have never successfully shot lightening. A good puddle shot might do!
