SkyWatch Friday: Blue walking sky and dappled sky back home



The sky was blue with barely a whisper of clouds when I walked around Lake Lynn. The sky was dappled above my crepe myrtle tree in my back yard.

    Oh you have a lovely summer day for a walk.

    That crepe myrtle is really in bloom. I've never seen them grow this large. I was thinking of getting one because the last two that we got didn't survive.

    Wow your crepe myrtle is in way better voice than mine! That's what I call "full song".

    Don't think I've ever been to Lake Lynn... It's not on my usual "loop", so I don't think about it.

    Those are both beautiful but the first one is my favorite. Pictures of roads and paths make me wish I could step right into the picture.

    Liked that first one very much. That wooden ramp or bridge leading into the distance gave it great depth.

    Just love the first one. The board walk is just so inviting. We don't have crepe myrtle here.

    Lake Lynn, I'll have to tell my buddy about the name of this lake. She'll be thrilled to know a lake this beautiful carries the same name as her :)

    Have a good weekend Carver and thanks!!! :)

    Your crepe myrtle tree is looking fine beneath the dappled sky. Looks like you had great weather for your walk around the lake.

    I love the lake. I love the boardwalk. I love the blue sky. But that crepe myrtle is fantastic! What a specimen! (Mine isn't even 3 feet high and isn't blooming yet. I don't predict big things for it in my climate. It's pretty when it blooms, but it will never be as spectacular as yours.)
