Description
This is number forty-four of forty-six in the Canoe Lake Paddle as numbered along the path of the paddle. This is looking southward toward Cook Island with the mainland and eastern shore of Canoe Lake on the left. Cook Island is to the right.
This was the mid afternoon sky on Canoe Lake. The cold low was still spinning to the west but the next surge of precipitation was almost upon me. The whiter shades of grey were actually the shafts of precipitation. They don't teach that in "meteorological school". The water droplets are much larger than the cloud droplets and were very efficient scatterers of all wavelengths of light in all directions through Mie scattering. I saw this coming but the heavier rain was still further to the south. I wasn't going to mind getting a bit wet. The rain never bothered me anyway. I actually own several umbrellas but never use them.
The darker bases of the nimbostratus were related to the thicker cloud depth above. I was headed back anyway and I figured that I had enough time to finish my adventure and exploration of every nook and cranny of Canoe Lake. It started to rain really hard just as I was putting "Margaritaville" on top of my 2004 Subaru Forester.
I used a lot of paint on a very slippery surface. The colours and the shapes make the scene and I tried not to fiddle with the brush strokes.

Thank you Sunny. It was a small and slippery panel and I was having a blast with a big brush.. Tons of energy I hope!
