A small break in clouds, very high humidity and haziness, but I managed to get some nice work. Best of 60 shots attempted.

Every afternoon has been cloudy, and most mornings too, but today I got a small break and grabbed camera to get this. It's been 2 weeks since I've been able to post something! Sheesh! And this week was a good time to be looking, drat these clouds!

Super gusty winds today, but clear skies for a change with high, very thin clouds/haze. Sun appears to be getting pretty quiet - magnetic pole reversal?
