Beautiful skies after the storm

Wednesday, October 9 -- we got the fringe of typhoon 23, which was going up the Japan Sea side of the island.  There was a good amount of rain and some wind.  Not bad.    About 5:00 p.m. I took these photos of the most marvelous cloud formation running from the West to the East--essentially across the main island of Japan where we are.  I love clouds--and with the sun shining on them, it was so clear and sharp.  God is an excellent sky-painter, yes?

This one was taken in Nishinomiya on Monday evening:
Lastly, these little birds visit us frequently during the day.  They are atop the electric pole in our back yard that exclusively goes directly to our house.

Spent some time getting caught up on your blog today. Thanks for sharing. It was nice to see and read about Mrs. Matsuda. I'm sure you all miss her, though. Love the flowers and the clouds. Thanks for sharing. The dead mouse - ech! Love to all.
