Who Did the Rain Dance?


Despite a very wet and rainy day in God's own county (Yorkshire) this Bank Holiday Monday, it didn't stop me venturing around and about...

Above is a picture taken from the South Bank of the River Humber (which is in North Lincolnshire but looks toward East Yorkshire on the North Bank) as a rain storm is approaching from the west this afternoon around 4 pm.

Just a few yards behind me at the Barton upon Humber - Humber Bridge Viewing Site is one of the many small ponds varying in size which offer a haven for wildlife and leisure facilities for fresh water fishing. (Picture below.) A lovely place to walk with the family.

For once, I've no complaints about the weather and a days rain is very welcome indeed. My friend Barry stated on his Twitter account today that the place smells different after a rain storm, the colours are different and indeed he is right - it is a unique smell. Wherever in the world you are, I hope you enjoyed your Monday. Back to work tomorrow.

Chat soon

Ta-ra.

  2. Hmmm... That was me... I'm sorry I was hoping it would just be my garden as everyone else seemed to be complaining about too much rain.

    Though we had some, we could do with a little more, so I'll try to limit my dancing to a few quick steps and see if that makes a difference.lol ;-)

  3. We stood in just about that same place a fortnight ago. I was impressed with the visitor centre. There were lots of chicks of various kinds on that water and it was interesting to see the estuary. When we came home we looked up all the rivers that flow into it - my goodness, it empties an enormous area of the country.

    Hi Jarmara - no problem - we do need it... perhaps another one for raining just overnight.

  13. Today, I went to the beach with my kids. I
    found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and
    said "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear." She placed the shell
    to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside
    and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back!
    LoL I know this is completely off topic but I had to tell someone!
