Nostalgia - Skywatch Friday

This first Friday of October, I am being hit by a wave of nostalgia.

One thing climate change has produced in our part of upstate New York is a lessening of the fall colors.  I miss those falls.  This year, our color is also endangered by a blight that has hit maples, killing their leaves prematurely.

But, I found some trees turning in a supermarket parking lot yesterday afternoon.  Too bad that the clouds fascinated me even more.  I could have adjusted the color to make the trees stand out but I so loved the color of that sky.

At least, sunsets are still sunsets.


And now, for my nostalgia fix - October 26, 2012.  But then, I tell myself, it's still the beginning of October.  There's still time for more color.

  2. I haven't seen much color beauty down here in the south, either, but then again, our weather is still summer-like. As for climate change, yes! It's amazing what people will argue to keep with an agenda paid for by companies that don't want regulations thrust on them . . . but I'm getting too political.

  3. Our colours were just starting. Then we got snow and cold and all the leaves just look like limp spinach. Sigh. I didn't realize climate change was making such a profound impact on our beloved autumn. :(

  4. I love Autumn colours too. I'm still waiting for the riot of colour as there is still a lot of green here. The Russian vine is a stunning red though.
    Thanks for sharing :-)

  7. Beautiful skies, and the tree from 2012 is beautiful!
    We are hoping to have good Autumn color here in Mississippi, but if the weather stays dry, the leaves will just die and turn brown.
    Have a wonderful week-end!

  8. Hello again!
    I just looked back at some of my photos, and 2012 was a good year for Autumn leaf color here, too.

  10. Hi Alana,
    I love autumn too. I think it's as you said, being affected by global warming. My mother loved the fall too so I miss her.
    Thanks for a nice post.

  11. Beautiful sky shots! Seems like trees are having problems all over. Lots of our S CA trees are dying. Heard recently even the iconic palm trees that line many of our most famous roads are dying.

  15. Gorgeous sky shots. That's one thing I miss from England, the beautiful fall colors. Here in Arizona, at the sight of a slight yellow shade we yell, oh fall is here. :)
