SkyWatch Friday: Blue Skies and Hot Hot Hot

It is getting to be so hot, I wish I could migrate.

I would definitely trade the blue skies for a return to cooler, rainy weather.

I've been working at the office some instead of from home like I usually do.

That's why there are more buildings in this week's skywatch.

The shot above is one I took at a long stop light when I was almost home. The others are all ones I took walking from the parking lot to the office.

    Bonjour dear Carver,
    Beautiful set of pictures with lovely blue sky.I like a lot that "tower" structure, the buildings and the colorful flowers!
    Today I'm happy here, we have a beautiful sunny day as well!

    I know what you mean. After coming inside the house it helps to open the freezer door and stick your head inside for a few seconds. Dreadful waste of energy but I only do this for a few seconds and only when I'm desperate ;). Lovely series of photos.

    looks very summery. i can imagine your combo of heat and humidity but i guess your blue skies gorgeous as they are try to make up for the suffocating summer heat.

    Beautiful blue skies. It's raining a little here (we're back in Oregon in real life) and we are not complaining! Not after seeing what no rain can do when we were in CO

    On those super hot days, it takes effort just to get the camera out and capture the moment. Good for you! Your skies are lovely, and especially appreciated from Vancouver, where the temperatures have remained below average.

    Oh, those skies! I am just back after 12 days in Connecticut, where the blue is as vivid but less accessible, less broad. There, the rain has been incessant. Perhaps next trip I can bring some back. Thanks for this beautiful Skywatch post.

    Lovely shots, Carver! Love the combination of blue clear sky and the tower. I wish "my" sky was blue...it´s raining and raining here and colder than normal.
