You check the weather forecast to find out whether the weather is good for a photo outing! Yes, it’s rabbit hole time again!
According to Grammarly.com weather can be a noun as in when we make a weather forecast, or a verb as If the team can weather the injuries it has faced this year.
When used as a conjunction, whether is the correct spelling. And did you know that a Wether is a ram or goat that is castrated at a young age. Honestly, I didn’t dig this rabbit hole! It just happened. And these words are homophones–words that have the same sound but different meanings.
This challenge is about the various types of weather conditions in which we photographers find ourselves pursuing our hobby or vocation.
We all look for nice weather. Sunny, nice puffy clouds, or sometimes even a cloudless sky will do. The direction from which the sun hits an object can intensify its color or cast a shadow.




Sometimes those big puffy clouds turn dark and gray. That’s a sign that a storm is coming. Better hurry and take those pictures!


Did you hurry and duck inside or under a shelter. Or, maybe, you just like to photograph in the rain. Just make sure your camera is covered.


After the rain, we are left with puddle reflections that entice children to jump into. Right now, we have a one-day break in rainstorms here in sunny California. That’s okay, it’s better than being in drought.

If its very cold, rain turns to snow that covers the ground with a beautiful white blanket. Just try to keep your children away!



My favorite weather is fog. I love to photograph in the fog. There’s something mysterious and calming about fog.


So, we’ve talked about the weather and now it’s your turn. Do you enjoy taking your camera out in all types of weather? Whether or not you do, I’m sure you have some enjoyable images taken on outings or vacations. And if you have some pictures of Wethers, let’s see those cute little animals too. Okay, I’m done! I promise!! Well, one more thing. When you respond to this challenge, please link to it and use the Lens-Artists tag. That way I can see whether you responded with weather images and stories. I guess I wasn’t quite done!
This week Egidio asked us to show how warm colors can affect our images and the feelings they leave behind. I enjoyed seeing all your amazing responses. Take care everyone and enjoy your weather!
Next week Donna will be challenging us, so be sure to look for her post.

Such a variety from you today: architectural shots, landscapes, even industrial archaeology! I love fog and rain too. I liked that lovely shot of the bare tree in rain, with the bare leaves providing the little colour in the photo.

Hi Anne, Your barn picture is one of my favorites as is the spooky tree-framed pond next to it. I love the fog, too. California is great for fog and beautiful rainy skies. I love the way the fog blurs the tops of your trees.
I did my weather post last week and linked to Egidio’s challenge of warm colors. I had no idea your post on weather was coming this week. YIKES! However, I’ll post my link again since I posted it late last week. https://alwayswrite.blog/2024/02/07/wq-159-weather-inspires-open-the-door-let-it-in/ Normally I like to be more creative, but my post this week is more about Valentine’s day. 😶😐🤐

You are so kind, Anne. I have decided that weather is about my favorite topic for both poetry and photography. I don’t think we can create anything more dramatic.

Love your weather photos! Being down by the beach, I love the foggy weather, but it is a challenge to get the lighting right…so I appreciate how lovely your shots turned out. I also like the old farm building with yellow flowers around it. There is a lot of texture to it.
