SkyWatch Friday: What a difference a week makes



The shot above is the same tree against the sky that I used for last week's skywatch. I find it amazing how big of a difference a week makes. If anyone wants to compare, here's a link to last week's photo of the same tree against the sky. To find other skies around the world please visit the home of SkyWatch Friday.

    The difference is much, but the photo is just as spectacular. I might even like the bareness of the branches better! Beautiful capture!

    You're so right! After today with our blustery winds, there will be no leaves left on any trees. But then, that's November here! :D Love your capture today.

    Nice one Carver.Thanks for sharing.
    Yes the change each day in the weather is very noticable.
    Mind I was not aware that there were so many rose colour skies before I joined SWF. It must make me more observant.
