SkyWatch Friday: Views from my house

I like to catch the moon against a daytime blue sky.

In the next shot the moon (on the right) almost looks the same size as the flowers on the tree.

The bird was singing up a storm below.

Most of my sky shots lately have included the Japanese Magnolia tree.

The cherry tree below in my back yard is starting to show signs of new life.

And another one much like the other one.

I love puffy clouds against a vivid blue sky.

I just can't seem to get enough of this tree.

It's my next door neighbor's tree and I can photograph it from my kitchen door and yard.

    They're all lovely, but to my mind none of them can touch that second photo! That's a blue-ribbon winner for sure! It's unique and beautiful, and so eloquently illustrates the cycles of nature, from the ever-changing moon phases to the change of seasons. Wonderful!

    The moon truly does look mysterious in your top shot. No wonder it inspires so many dreams, stories and songs.
