Sorry, not my intention at all. No, more pictures... taken by you! Everything is alright. Maybe I will overcome my inner critic saying that my own pictures would be not interesting, maybe not. Yes more pictures from Riga! All of our weather pictures probably don't look interesting to anyone outside this forum, but those of us on here love weather/climate/seasonal changes so they will be taken positively, I assure you. |

Yes indeed. Would love to see more pictures of Riga, haven't seen many before in my life and weather/seasonal pics are always awesome.
I'd take more pics but the seasonal changes here aren't interesting + I don't have a good camera or a phone that takes good pics.

Photos of spring green-up. Last weekend:  Compare to two weeks earlier, middle of April. This area didn't change much. The smaller bushes leafed out and the white stuff in the background got smaller.  May 7th. Most places are a little fuller than this, but full leaf out will take another week at least.  |

It snowed this morning, a couple cm of thick wet stuff. It's all gone now, didn't last very long. Between this and the 5mm of rain we had yesterday I'm hoping all this added moisture will help the vegetation grow out faster.  |

May 7th:  Mostly bare in the forests still though   May 9th (today): Cool car  Apparently these kinds of clouds are popular?  I'm starting to like the look of downtown Umeå more and more.  |

Hiking in the Kalamunda/Piesse Brook region of the Perth Hills. It was sunny all day with some cumulus in the afternoon that never blocked the sun, mainly over the eastern half of the sky. We got there around 9:30am when it was 12.1C, it stayed around 17.5-18C (64F) from 12-4pm, really nice hiking weather with some light easterly winds (like 7-13km/h or 4-7mph). First Hike of the Day   2nd Hike Obstructed by powerlines  3rd Hike: wasn't an actual hike, we just wanted to get away from the crowds so we parked near a stretch of Bibbulmun track and walked along it, walked down to the Lower Helena Dam where we bush bashed our way along the river cos we didn't want to walk back the same way cos that's boring as fuck. Bush bashed and eventually got to a pipeline where we followed it along a track, then we had to walk up back to the car along a Black Graded mountainbike path, extremely steep with heaps of jumps and sharp turns. Lower Helena Dam:  Yeahh, it's a drinking water catchment but we stayed away from the water.  Pipeline we walked next to:  Water meter/tester:  This is the sort of vegetation we were hiking through, although this was a clear spot, a lot more dense shrubs and low trees for most of the walk.  GEOLOGY TIME: quartz vein running through granite. The area is mainly granite (it's a 2.7Ga craton) but there's intrustions of basalt and quartz (felsic dykes/veining).  Typical bushland at the top of the hill on Hike 3  Views from the top whilst we hiked the bike track up   More Open Woodland  |

A very interesting sky this afternoon. This cloud was really funky. (It's taken with the ultrawide, with a pretty much identical field of view to my eye, so the cloud pretty much covered my entire field of view)  |

Very Far behind in Photos, this is from a fishing trip on my Birthday weekend (April 24th)
Went up to the Laurel Mountains for some fishing in natural Brook Trout Streams
Road the stream was on
Trees still 100% bare at the end of April there
Found a nice little waterfall
Virgin Forest drove through on the way out

May 12th and clouds keep rollling in from NW on this day with the overnight largest snowfall in May since at least 1946 (6 cm at Trondheim AP)
Got a little more than 6 sunhrs between the snow squalls; the wet snow falling during day could not stick.

Everett's Ridge in the distance (approx 10 miles away) Nice landscapes! I can't help but notice that parts of PA and KY (and probably parts of neighboring states as well) look very "European" with the interspersed woods and crops, as well as the erratic road pattern. |
