SkyWatch Friday: Late January and early February skies

We had some beautiful sunset in January.

In some ways this post isn't entirely representative because we have had a fair amount of gray skies.

I will include a gray February day at the end but I'm focusing mostly on color.

It's fairly common to have a gray day that ends with a beautiful sunset but I'm always surprised by color at the end of a gray day.

We have had a few brilliant blue skies with the cotton ball clouds I love.

 I caught the moon in the morning on several days.

 Sunrise lights up the tree below.

 I think the sunset below is very moody.

 The next five shots are from a spectacular sunset on another day.

These five shots are in reverse order, meaning I started with the end of the sunset and move back to earlier in the day.

I kept going to the window and the sky continued changing.

My bedroom window is the best place for me to shoot the sunset without going outside.

 In some ways I get better shots from my bedroom window that if I did go outside.

 I took the next two shots on a brilliant sunny day at the NC Museum of Art Park.

 The work above and below is titled Gyre and is by Thomas Sayre a North Carolina artist.

 The next shot was taken at a park near my house.

The Optimist Park is a short walk for me.

 I also took some photographs walking around my neighborhood.

It was harder walking when the sun was out and there was some melting and re-freezing.

 I had to stop when I took a photograph because if I got absentminded and shot while I walked I would start to slide.

Another sunset shot from my bedroom window below.

 I never get tired of watching the sky.

 I do think that this is a particularly good time of the year for sunsets.

 I can become intoxicated by all the color.

Recently I've featured one day for sky watch.
skywatchDSCN3281
Because I tried picking shots from the past 10 or so days (except ones I featured previously), I have ended up with an extra long post this time.
 skywatchDSCN3266
I had trouble narrowing down which shots to use.
 skywatchDSCN3105
I am running out of commentary for the photographs.
 skywatchDSCN3096
When I first started blogging I used photographs as breathing spaces between paragraphs of words.

Now I use words as breathing spaces in between photographs.

Today was my 29th day in a row of going on a walk and, except when I walk in the rain which I've done a fair amount of lately, I usually take at least a few shots while I walk.
