Afternoon Clouds

Rolling clouds and distant thunder remind me of summer weather in Brisbane where first semester back at school meant taking off your shoes and wading home through puddles left by the 3 pm storms. We have had thunder for the last three afternoons but no rain.

I have been enjoying the warm days but as you can see from the forecast above we are in for some hot days.

I am taking these photos while walking my dog. Not always easy as sometimes he pulls on the lead. But this is so much part of my early morning emotions anyway. I am very interested in the puddles that occur in the totally man made environment that I inhabit as an inner city resident. They result from errors and damage and end as repositories for the effects of weather which in a more natural environment would manifest in seasonal changes in native fauna and vegetation.
