Skywatch Friday - After the Storm

After a terrific storm came through the area on Wednesday night, this is how the sky looked at around 9 p.m.  In first photo you can barely see the moon peeking through the treetop.  The full moon shot a few minutes later is one that I managed by leaning against wet house siding to steady the camera for the big zoom.  Must think about getting a tripod!

Friday Skywatch and Fences - Spring Dawn

A welcome sight earlier this week.  After the first two weeks of spring bringing only cold, rainy, snowy weather, finally a promise of sunshine in the dawn sky.

Also glad to see that my neighbor's forsythia blooms have survived the cold temps.  However, those boards, blocks, and logs crammed under the fence do not make me nearly as happy.  The entire perimeter of the fence looks like this--all due to Chet the Digger's winter's work.  Right now the only remedy I can think of is a "pawectomy".  Your suggestions?

First Spring Sunset

This chilly sunset for the first day of Spring promises--or threatens, depending on your point of view--more cold snowy weather to come.  Even significant snow by Sunday evening.  Suits me fine, but I know some of you are winter weary.  Hint:  look closely at the last photo and you can plainly see that tree leaves are ready to come out.

Skywatch Friday - February Sunset

Just a reminder, February skies can look like this.  Although, perhaps not today where you are.  These sunset photos taken on 2-16-13, and all these wonderful changes happened in about ten minutes.
