SkyWatch Friday: The first week of March

March started with spring weather but turned cold again and damaged early flowers.

That's fairly common for March and early April where I live.

We've had a lot of gray skies but enough blue in between to brighten my world.

I caught a sunset that had bands of color.

We even had one day where the sky was blue almost all day long.

The next shot shows how some of the early blooms in the tree turned brown with the cold but some pink dots remain.

The sun was trying to break through in the next shot.

The cardinal was singing to a prospective mate.

A mere hint of blue against the quilted clouds.

Quilted clouds are amongst my favorites.

Another singing cardinal.

A gray day that's typical.

I took the next shot blind while driving. I was using my eyes to drive, the blind part was I pushed the camera button without looking at the shot. The camera was around my neck so it didn't distract me from driving.

 

I took the next shot while stopped at a stop light.
