In between the days of grey, we have had some varied and beautiful skies.
The clouds looked like they were painted in pastels.
A few days before the full moon we had a good night for sky watching.
The actual full moon night was too overcast for skywatching but this night was close enough to a full moon for me.
Part of the time I was moon gazing it looked like the moon was being blown across the sky.
I think the clouds were moving fast which made it look like the moon was moving.
The shots with the moon in the tree limbs were taken while I stood on a different side of my yard from the ones that are without obstructions.
It was a very varied moon gazing night because of the clouds.
On another day that started grey and dreary, there was such variety once the sun burst through.
I think the contrast between all grey during part of the day and blue and white later makes me snap a ton of shots when the sun comes out.
There were only about 3 good days for sky gazing out of the past seven.
I do so love the cotton batting look of the clouds against the blue.
It's like a bunch of different blankets and quilts are tossed into the air.
The variety over the space of an hour or so kept me clicking away.
I had trouble picking which shots to use.
I seem to have had a lot of trouble lately narrowing down which photographs to use.
I think the next shot almost looks like a veil was covering the sky.
I'll stop with one more shot.

I love the photos where the trees seem to be the brushes drawing the clouds onto the sky.=)

Great sky shots...love love the full moon ones!!!
The variety you have! Great series!
Beautiful moon shots! One is so ghostly, and one is so romantic!
What a fabulous series. I, too, would have had trouble trying to decide which ones to post. Had never thought about the clouds resembling cotton batting, but being a quilter I caught on immediately. My favorite shots are the ones of the branches in front of the moon.genie
same here...gray or clear...
This range of colors is impressive as all get out. Gorgeous, all.
WOW...the branches across the moon are just magical!
I love the blue skies mixed with clouds. It looks so relaxing!
Lovely full moon shots, they are so mysterious!

Those moon shots are amazing -- what clarity!! Happy SWF
Oh my gosh Carver -- your pictures are just a miracle. Pretty much each one of these would be a whole blogpost for me. You are so incredibly talented. I can almost see the moon moving. That one with the branch across it is wonderful.
