The weather had been hazy today, maybe VOG, though if so the wind kept it at bay. The day got increasingly cloudy and by sunset the sky turned a multitude of colours. Here are a few of the patterns that appeared.

A cloudy sky gives way to reds, yellows and colors in between closer to the horizon, just above the ocean at sunset. In the foreground is a lawn and vegetation surrounding it.

A (Praying) Mantis in the grass. I was pleased to see this one. It had been lying on some concrete 24 hours earlier looking none to happy. I had moved it to the earth beneath the grass. Assuming that it was the same one, it must be feeling better to have had some strength to climb up the grass.

While I was out of action this last week because of a migraine, a few rainbows appeared in the sky which I have not posted here. When my health and tolerance of light due to the migraine allowed me outside, I grabbed shots of some of those rainbows - one (maybe two?) a double. I’m sharing them here. 🌈

A review of the movie, The Room Next Door. The reviewer liked the film despite finding it a little wordy initially and felt that it asked important questions about voluntary euthanasia. Also mentioned was the use of colours in the staging of the film.

This morning’s rainbow 🌈. A double rainbow. They actually arched right across the sky in a perfect arc, but it was raining at the time and I would have got soaked trying to capture that.
