The sky at Grand River

We stopped at the Grand River on the way home one day last week. There have been few blue skies lately and the river reflected the low, heavy, gray-blue cloud. 





However in the distance, the sun was trying to break through and shafts of light shone through in places.





Over the ten minutes we were there, the sky cleared in various areas as the sun brightened the landscape.





Then a patch of blue sky appeared overhead,





teasing us after the dreary days we’ve experienced recently. The clouds didn’t clear but we saw enough blue sky and blue water to give us hope.


We are optimists!

I love your optimism, and the beautiful autumn skies you share here. You do live in a very beautiful place, Marie. :-)

Beautiful. Love the gorgeous contrasts in the last picture but the big white house beckons me to stop in for a visit.

Nice day out.

There is a Grand River near me. Actually in the next county north, Lake County, where I lived for thirty years. It's a fine river, carved into stone, and wonderful in long sections for wading. Many rivers are grand, especially with sunshine.

Love watching the water change colours to match the sky Marie, am wondering if the blue skies stayed around for a while or were swallowed up by the clouds again ✨

There are many benefits of being optimistic.
I look at those images and I think of serenity... cloudy sky and all...
