Rainy Weekend - Moody Days

It's Friday the 13th and maybe I should have posted a bit more positive or lovely sunny images, but the number 13 is one of my Lucky Numbers, so ...

Rainy Weekend - Moody Days

Isn't it typical that after a relatively nice week, it rains all weekend long? If I work during the weekend, then it's the other way around, of course.
So, last weekend, when I have taken these photos, I have had free, but I'm sure that the sun will shine tomorrow because I'm in the office for a 24 hour shift until Sunday morning.

Last Saturday, I have had no idea where to go because it was raining everywhere. So I decided to drive over a little mountain pass where I was hoping to find some spring flowers on the mountain pasture there.

Well, it was raining too much and I couldn't see any flowers, but I loved the mood that the rain clouds and the fog generated in combination with the fields and the coniferous trees.

I love the layers of woody hillsides in the image above and the curved forest front on those little grassy hills you can see below.

There was this small single tree in front of the forest, which still had no fresh leaves, while the coniferous forest was green as always. I liked this tree somehow, so I had to take an image from the side and one from the front. In the first image it looks as if the little tree was standing in front of an army of trees with their leader in front.

I'm sure you have noticed that I have desaturated and darkened the images quite a bit. It wasn't very colourful in these wet weather conditions anyway, as you might know yourself, but I thought that taking away even more colour would emphasize the dreary mood even more.

I have used the word "dreary" above, but I have to admit that I love such moods - the more fog or dramatic clouds, the better and the more I love it. I don't like getting wet very much though.

It is Spring, and everywhere you can see the blooming trees now. Of course, I had to take a photo of this pretty one, although I got completely wet while searching a way through high grass and bushes to this field to take the photo. Right after the two photos I have taken it started to rain quite heavily.

Rain

The clouds are shedding tears of joy,
They fall with rhythmic beat
Upon the earth, and soon destroy
Dust dunes and waves of heat.

Each falling drop enforcement bears
To river, lake and rill,
And sweet refreshment gladly shares
With wooded dell and hill.

Every flower, bud and leaf,
Each blossom, branch and tree
Distills the rain, 'tis my belief,
To feed the honey bee.

I pity every wretch I find
Who, frowning in disdain,
Is deaf and dumb and also blind
To beauty in the rain.

by Raymond Garfield Dandridge

Another busy week has gone by for most of you, but my week will last till Sunday morning, because a 24-hour nightshift is waiting for me. The weekends are mostly quiet, so it might be an easy shift, but you never know.

Thanks for scrolling down through my post till the end. I hope you enjoyed my photos a little bit, although they might not suit to the wonderful weather I'm hoping you all to have.

Hello, @johannpiber! Beautiful pictures as always!

I loved the mood that the rain clouds and the fog generated in combination with the fields and the coniferous trees.

This is my ideal kind of weather though some may say it's dull, maybe because I don't like heat. Most of these pictures are in black and white. You took them this way or its the editing?

A 24 hour shift! Oh, I hope you find time to relax and enjoy what you do as well. I'm happy the weekend is here! Thanks for sharing these lovely pictures. !PIMP !LUV 🙂

Hi @kemmyb,

I love such a weather, but I prefer it to not rain - don't like to get wet 😉
The dark and foggy weather made the images quite colourless anyway, but I have edited them to look even more monochrome because I wanted to add the look to them that I felt: a bit cold and moody and wet 😁

Thank you so much kindly for your nice words, wishing you a wonderful weekend 😊

Hehe, thanks for your comment! I'm glad you had a rainy weekend and pleasant work. In Lagos, the rain teased us over the weekend and we hoped it would fall. It did not. So the weather is kinda hot! Hopefully it rains soon.
Have a great week! !PIZZA 🙂

The Spring does get to the higher regions later anyway, and so there wouldn't have been many flowers anyway, but I believe that next weekend it will look much better up there 🙂

Beautiful autumn photos dear @johannpiber 😉

I don't believe that when you are free, the clouds of rain and fog will fall just then ...

Lucky you like fog🤗

Great photos of forest and fog 🥰

And if it weren't for the little tree in bloom ... I would have missed the time of year for sure ...🤭

Luckily I was completely wrong this time, because it was cloudy and even rainy yesterday, and now I am sitting here at the reservoir in the warm morning sun.
The sun is already a bit too high but I hope for some pretty macros and maybe I can even find a butterfly 😊

Moody wisps of cloud dancing between trees, song of rain gently falling to the ground running to streams.

Tiny little 'general' waving crazy arms, not yet clothed with new leaves, guiding to the way of flower path,

Perhaps a moody day was great for photography watching change of Spring slowly creeping in.

Whispers of sunny tomorrows, date makes no difference it's time to visit the outdoors as soon as work is over....

I really should consider letting you do my texting - Moody wisps of cloud dancing between trees ... Tiny little 'general' waving crazy arms ... is just excellent 👍😀

Right after I have come home I took my camera backpack and went for a walk at the reservoir. The sun was already too high, but I got fresh air and I have found a new best friend:

This little guy didn't want to get photographed, so he jumped on my camera lens and later on my hand for a walk and I had to put him back on the flower ... this game repeated a few times 😁

Thank you so much for your lovely words, Joan, I hope you're enjoying a great Sunday evening 🤗🌞

New best friend was adamant a photograph had to be taken, what a exquisite butterfly on dandelions seeding plant.

Flowers in fields and butterflies, beautiful birds by the water you sliding quickly into warmer longer days to enjoy time outside.

Never enjoy journey to and from destinations, sure to enjoy once we there. Teach him some photography and patience 😂 how to accept life as it is. All the worrying in confusing world is making the young not so young folk sick!

Yep, it has got a lot warmer and now it's really Spring here. We'll spend the weekend in Lower Austria with our daughter and my wife's niece. There's even more Spring than here and I hope I'll find enough time to take some photos.

Some journeys are cool, but it depends on the destination or better said on the route we have to take.

I wouldn't know how to teach anybody patience or to accept life as it is because I haven't learned it myself. Well, the latter I have learned during my life, but still I am often disappointed for nothing.

These are wonderful moody images, Hannes. They are all great, especially the one with the little tree standing in front.

You are the only one I know who doesn’t worry a bit when it’s Friday the 13th. 😊

Sorry you got wet in the rain, dear Hannes. Lovely poem about the rain. ☔️

Hopefully nicer weather when you’re off work. Have a pleasant Sunday! 🤗

Hi Jo,

Friday the 13th or a black cat from left or walking under a ladder ... I don't mind, although I take care when walking under a ladder because something might fall down 😅

Thanks so much for your nice words, dear Jo, I'm happy that you like my images 🤗

We have had a quite pleasant Sunday but it will rain later in the evening. I hope you're also having a nice Sunday 🌞

I love your mood laden photos. I was thinking exactly the same thing when the fell for over a week here in Queensland, except yesterday when I was home it was far too wet to walk to the surf beach or I was just a squib not wanting to walk in the rain.

Nice to see you back writing posts again Hannes. I am away a bit more now with hospital trips but all good. A break is a good idea really. Wishing you lots of happiness.🦄
