The skies started out a little scary yesterday morning. The temperature at ground level was 39F. The dark skies turned into a snow flurries and the start of a tough day with high winds.
The high winds didn't stop but the sky definitely changed. Check out Old Glory flapping in the wind. This was a drive-by bridge shot.
The next bridge down was also being buffeted by the wind.
I was going to the doctors for a check up with some great results. My weight was down 12# and my bad cholesterol dropped from 99 to 59. The medicine is working and everything is going well.
There are some great skies if you go and visit.

Good to hear about your doctor's appointment going well. Beautiful skies you shot.
These are really lovely. I enjoy the sight of the flag on a busy spring sky. So optimistic!
Yay you for your great check up!
The first shot is stunning! And I am always a sucker to see our flag waving.
I love skywatch-photos in black and white. And I suppose the flag goes well with your story. :)

Great Sky pictures.

Tom, that first photo is pretty ominous and a great capture. The photo of the flag is very patriotic. I am so glad you and your meds are bringing things under control. Keep up the good work. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful weekend.

Majestic-looking skies!

Great shots! Glad things are going well health-wise.
i simply loved it. :)
Congrats on the health front.
Beautiful skies after the storm watch. Love Old Glory. MB
A beautiful changing day with wind to blow in your good news.
beautiful skies! glad to hear good news on the med check up results.I am working on my LDL too.
Congratulations on doing so well at the doctor's, but WOW congratulations on such a "drive by" shot, it's a beauty!
Happy skywatching, and keep up the good work healthwise!
I love all the clouds in the photo's. I'm glad you are getting healthier.
pretty clouds..looks like they are all carrying messages for us from the skies
Great skies, they are all wonderful. Great shot, have a nice weekend..
Big difference in the morning and afternoon. I'll take the afternoon.
Not only did you show some great photos of the sky, but you got some wonderful news from the doctor as well. I'm grateful for both.
Love the fluffy clouds scooting across the sky!! And congrats on the good results!!
Wonderful photos, enjoyed them very much. Have a great weekend.
...and yet, the clouds don't look man at all, they are so white and fluffy.
Wow...great skies. Didn't realize you had some bad weather over there. Your checkup sounds wonderful...nice that being ill has resulted in better health in the long run. Keep getting stronger!
I do like the sky watch photo with the flag. It seems appropriate and reminds me of all the places I have seen flags. Iwo Jima. Mt Surabachi.
Such wonderful places, so different from where I have lived. The Hamlet of Gordon, Ohio is where I was born and raised and it is how small hamlets used to be and this one still exists.

Wonderful skies of a windy day. Splendid pictures, Fishing Guy.
I'm very glad everything is going well for you.
Bad news: cold weather and snowflakes in April in Ohio.
Good news: your new health regime is showing results. Wish both Jack and I could lose 12 pounds.
Have a great weekend.
SNOW! Ya'll gotta catch up with spring now. I knew your results would be good, because that last photo you posted of yourself on the rock, you looked really healthy and happy!
Wonderful skies! Glad you had good news at the doc!
Hi Tom, super sky.
Fancy A give-away? then pop to

Great shots of the flag against the sky. The first sky shot is indeed a little scarey.
Brrr it looks cold in the first shot. Those type of clouds do appear when very windy but at least the flag was flying rather than just drooping.
You certainly have had very high colesterol levels but now they are pretty good. Glad the medicine is working for you.
Good job on regaining your health, and thanks for the pics--I like "winter trees" as poet Sylvia Plath called them.
What a scenery set! The colors, composition.. Love it!
Awesome photos, fun to watch.
Wow that first shot of those trees looked very unlike spring, I was relieved to see the others greening up further down. We have been in the 90's the past few days.
Fishing guy great news on your health!!
Simply beautiful photos to celebrate Sky Watch Friday.
Beautiful shot of the sky with the American flag as the focal point. Nicely taken. :)
Have a wonderful weekend.
