End of the rainbow, end of the road

About a fortnight ago my best beloved and I went to Whitby, where we camped on a rise above the town with our lovely friend A. It was a wonderful few days, and the changeable weather ensured spectacular skies – I have so many sky images from our visit that they will keep me in Skywatch Friday posts for months to come. Here, we had been walking from Robin Hood’s Bay to Whitby along the Cleveland Way National Trail, when the sky blackened. A rainbow glimmered faintly among the clouds as rain began to spit, while the sun shone on the crops that line the final mile or so into town. I’ll be posting more about this walk hopefully, there’s a lot more I’d love to show you.
I’ve had a lot of adventures this summer – many have not made it into this blog because they kept me a little too busy, but also, I’ve been deliberately keeping my time online to a minimum. Now, with autumn just around the corner I need to hunker down and concentrate on making new stock, and while that means spending a lot more time indoors near the computer, I’m just not sure that once autumn starts I’ll have the time to blog consistently. I’m not going to give up this blog, ominous though the title of the current post must seem (I chose it just because it fitted the picture, I didn’t intend the melancholy vibe I now see it lends). But perhaps the form will change, less writing and more images, or maybe just a monthly bulletin. I’ll always try to keep up with the wonderful bloggers I’ve met along the way, but please forgive me if my visits to your blogs are fewer.
For more beautiful and fascinating images of the sky around the world, visit Skywatch Friday!

Thank you for your comment
A great beautiful picture. It is so easy with its three colors. Dark gray, golden yellow and green. Therefore, is it double-strong. Good weekend.
Hello Rimkogeren and welcome! Thank you – it was a beautiful thing to see, the colours were so strong in real life and I’m so I’m so happy that you see the effect in the picture. Happy skywatching!
What a super picture, dramatic and moody. David Hockney was drawn to living in this part of the world because of the sky and the light quality. I look forward to seeing more pics from here.
Thanks Goo, will try and get some posted soon
I knew I missed something over here…
This is an awesome photo, Bird. I just love its simplicity and strength…and that lonesome fence post seems to be enjoying the gorgeous view before it. Very striking.
And don’t you worry about makin’ it over to my place…I know where to find ya. Gosh knows if there’s a blogger who’s lax in getting around, it’s Earth to Holly!

*hugs* and good luck on your crafting work!
Holly, we both know where to find each other and that’s the great thing about blogging – the blog doesn’t go away even if it’s infrequently updated. I’ll be coming to see what you’ve been up to soon
Thank you for the hugs and kind words!
