But before I show you my newest method, I want to thank everyone who has visited and commented on my blog over the past couple of days. The wacky weather the Northeast United States has been experiencing has led to flooding in many places. Tuesday, it was the turn of my area of upstate New York to experience flash flooding.
I am not personally affected but we have more rain in the forecast for tomorrow, and we are not too far from the possibility of river flooding. If you read my blog posts of September, 2011, you will learn how a flood impacted the life of many in our area, including my spouse and me.
Just one story out of many thousands.
So today, I watch the sky for many reasons.
Last Friday, we had a "calm before the storm" sunset. Red sky at night - it was a sailor's delight, but not for long.
But what about my newest method of watching the sky?
This is a yellow (the yellow didn't show up too well) mushroom I found growing Wednesday on the grounds of the Broome County Courthouse near where I work in downtown Binghamton, New York.
See the center? It is full of water from the rains of Tuesday. And, in that water, the sky is reflected, clouds, trees and all.

Wow....those clouds....
ReplyDeleteThat mushroom looks pretty, though
The water almost looks like a universe in there...
ReplyDeleteI remember watching the sky when I was young and living out in the semi-desert of Southern Alberta. Desperate for moisture, we learned at a very early age to find any clouds a blessing. Though hey weren't raised in the same circumstances, my kids inherited that love of clouds and storms from me. But sometimes, those thick, roiling clouds are just trouble waiting to happen! Love your pictures! And love that mushroom! The universe in microcosm!
ReplyDeleteMaybe weather could be explain as Un-perdictable.
ReplyDeleteCoffee is on
We were in Cancun earlier this week and I couldn't help but look up every morning especially at sunrise!
ReplyDeleteAmazing reflection photo!
ReplyDeleteA mushroom cup- what a new way of viewing the sky...
ReplyDeleteSuch pretty lilac skies.
ReplyDeletePretty skies - good luck with the flooding. Our problem this year is hail; my city has had baseball-size hail three times this summer (luckily not at my house).
ReplyDeleteA creative way to view the sky! Beautiful and dramatic sky captures, and wishing you safety and no flooding in the days to come!!
ReplyDeleteThose calm before the storm skies are so beautiful. Hard to believe that something that pretty is actually the forewarning of some angry weather.
ReplyDeleteWhile are gorgeous skies.... Your mushroom photo will definitely go on my list of most incredible photos ever!! You always have such great pics. Is there a way you can set the aspect ratio a little larger so we can appreciate them even more... especially the mushroom. I want to see a BIG photo of it. Wow!
