My house and garden spent most of the morning in the clouds, with a slight easing of the thick mist by the afternoon. Later this afternoon, the clouds and mist broke, revealing a stunning deep blue mountain scene, surrounded by tufts of clouds both above and below.
I had a sweet baby butcher bird hiding from the dismal day on my back veranda for a while too. Unfortunately, with the light of the day so dark, little butch blends in a bit. Luckily his white feathers allow him to stand out slightly against the dark background. 🙂

As always, love the view. Is fall typically a rainy season?

Thank you, Frank. 🙂
Our rainy season is mostly during summer, although it often begins in late spring and continues into autumn. It was late March four years ago that one of the worst floods on record for our area reached heights never before heard of.

Nice play of light and shadow. Reminds me of one of our patriotic anthem lines– ‘purple mountain majesty.’

Thank you, Eliza. 🙂
We’d have to change the line to “blue mountain majesty” for here, and it definitely applies. 🙂

The baby butcher bird is cute, and the backdrop for his portrait is a nice change. Misty days can be very beautiful, too. The shade of blue revealed is lovely!

I love it when I strike something different and beautiful in the gloomy weather. It’s not possible every day, but some days I’m lucky. 🙂
