Sky Watch # 22

Sky Watch Friday has on it's own site. Please check out the site and link in if you wish to participate. There were 362 people last week with beautiful Sky photos. You can link in from my side bar or at the start of this post.

I thought this week with our gray skies I would show two sunrises through the clouds. This one had an interesting look as the sun rose into the sky.
This one has a sky that looked like the sun would break through.
Here is a midday shot with a little blue in the sky. This soon turned to all gray.
These are the two sunsets through the cloudy skies. The setting sun showed as a dispersed yellow ball. The sun got lower and the sky took over but it still looked nice as the sun tried to shine off the clouds.
I had to show one Summer shot on my fishing lake to get me out of this gray sky mood. this is the pump house at my water supply lake. I hope to see the sun again real soon.
The life blood of blogging is visitation so go out there and see some beautiful skies at the SWF site.

  10. Nice cycles of shots. I don't blame you one bit for wanting to post the pump phouse shot. It's gray and dull here on the Erie north shore, too.

  11. All nice! I love your warm summer skies, but I think my favorite is the 2nd to last sunset. Incredible colors and clouds! It's to pretty to put one in a grey mood!

  12. Great sequence, Tom. It's rainy and dreary here today in TN. I needed to see that last picture--just to help me know that 'this too will pass.' (We've had LOTS of rain the past few days. We needed the rain--but not all at once.. Gads!)

  20. Looking for sunshine can be an interesting pursuit. I have to say, you have beautiful skies, FG.

    I don't know if it will interests you but I'll have a night fishing post on Sunday. The text is kinda heavy but you might like the photograph.

  41. Today our only sun was right at twilight. It reminded me of some of your photos. And we got rain too. That's a change of pace for the dry season. Good news is that there is cold air behind it.

    ReplyDelete
  51. I love that first sunrise - winter sun arrives offering promise, but delivering only light on a cold winter day.

    Well, that's what it makes me feel.

    ReplyDelete

  75. great skies!
    Thanks for inviting me to join the 'My World' Tuesday Photos, I shall give it a go, but whether it will be in anyway connected to the group is doubtful, as I don't know how to do so, but I shall try. The idea is so good, I really want to join in.

  76. Beautiful sky watch!
    I too am getting a just a tad tired of gray skies.

    Hoping the best for your wife. A good wife is a treasure and as you obviously well know, to have a good wife one must be a good husband.
