SkyWatch Friday: A bit of blue


We've had a lot of gray skies so when Tuesday brought some blue, I had to shoot it.

I like the way winter trees look against the sky.

    I agree Carver, the contrasts are so beautiful! The sky is blue and perfect and I notice that the snow on the trees are gone now!

    Gorgeous blue skies and, yes, the contrasts with the clouds and the bare black trees silhouetted against them are like exclamation points celebrating the blue! I would be, I know!! Have a wonderful weekend, Carver!

    Oh my goodness, Carver ~~ those exact clouds were in my back yard today. I took a picture to use in a week to come since I was using my Pastor's sky this time.

    Even the trees look the same!!!

    Blue skies are a treat, and the white clouds contrasting with the dark branches make an interesting design in the sky.

    Looks like the snow has melted away, too.

    Now, everytime I see this photo of you, I will think of your trilogy series. I agree with you...the trees in winter against the skies are gorgeous and impossible not to stop and photograph. Beautiful capture. Genie
