Peaceful

I went for a longer walk this morning, so have a range of images to choose from.  I chose this peaceful one, the calm before the storm here in Christchurch as much of New Zealand is experiencing a 'weather bomb' with gale force winds, torrential rain, hail, floods and slips.  As I write this, the wind and rain has just started here, and the temperature is dropping.  Glad I got my walk in early!

The tree in my 'extra' has obviously experienced this kind of weather before.
