SkyWatch Friday: Storms and blue

We've had plenty of stormy skies.

I thought this particular storm had a lot of variations in the gray.

The next shot was a late afternoon when the clouds turned pink.

Next is a morning shot when the moon stuck around to play jumping in and out from behind clouds. I kept missing it but finally it stayed away from the clouds long enough for me to capture it.

Next are some sky shots I took on a morning walk.

It started off pretty dark but the sun finally got out from behind the clouds.

Earlier that same morning I had fun shooting mackerel clouds.

Too bad the mackerel clouds were gone by the time I walked as I would have loved catching their reflection in the water.

Even without having water to capture their reflections they were my favorite sky shots over the past 7 days.

This is a great time of the year for skywatching.

The light is changing and is heralding a new season.

So far the changes are subtle but soon they will accelerate.

  9. I miss the energy of a storm much. No rain since about Easter. Rarely a cloud or two. Impressive pictures.

  13. You've had stormy skies and crisp blue skies as well!
    Love the reflection shot!

    Thanks for the link to the Paul Simon video. I had seen it but had forgotten it. I sang the song in high school choir and because we live near the river with lots of bridges it just comes to my mind a lot. :)

  19. You captures so many views of the sky! Those mackerel clouds almost have a herringbone pattern! The blues are gorgeous! They are all really pretty!
