SkyWatch Friday: Early May

I decided to start limiting myself to either one shot per post or a montage with multiple shots in one image.

I couldn't do that this week because I wanted a full size shot instead of a montage but couldn't decide on which one.

 The first shot is a NC sunset on May 1 and the second shot is a May 2 sunset from my same bedroom window.

I like how fresh the green leaves are this time of year when they are new on the deciduous trees and vines.

The new canopies cover the sky on trails and provide pleasant shade as the temperatures rise.

    a montage is good, but sometimes a full shot is required especially if that of sky images. personally i prefer to see the full image :)

    It's hard to pick which photos to show. All of these are splendid shots.

    I do limit myself to one shot with each post, part of the daily photo ethos, but some days like skywatch, I'm tempted to post more. Love fiery orange skies, and cool blues.

    I don't see how you could ever have chosen between these Carver -- and you are right, each deserves a full view!
