Description
The cumulus clouds were whipping by with the northwesterly winds. I sketched a few in and then they were gone. Thank goodness that similar clouds followed in their wake. One could track the wind gusts coming across the surface of Singleton. The darker patches of smaller ripples did not reflect the 11 am sun back to my eye as efficiently as the larger waves. The waves were reflecting the general brightness of the clouds. With the smaller and choppier ripples, I think I was looking at generally smaller angles of incidence and thus looking into the depths of the lake and the refracted light. I was not seeing as much reflected light from the sky from the smaller and more turbulent ripples.
Normally a cold frontal system is not preceded by strong and blustery northwesterly winds. The cold front and storm were still a long way off and had to slide down the eastern flank of a flat upper ridge. It was an unusual pattern for sure which I guess is what attracted me to it. Some pre-frontal showers were just showing up on radar.
The temperature was perfect and there were no biting insects... I could hear the wails of the loons from the west basin of Singleton. Fun. It was perfect plein air weather.
