Cloudy February Sunset #SkywatchFriday

Wednesday was an unbelievable day where I live in the Southern Tier of New York State.  Blue skies!  Temperatures in the 40's F! (7.7 C)

Spouse and I went to our local rail trail.  We had had ice about a week ago, with snow on top of it.  It was well salted but there was still a lot of icy slush where we and other walkers going in the other direction barely had enough room to go single file in our lanes.

The walk started out with blue skies, but, as we walked, clouds started to gather. (This is the same walk where I took the tree pictures that I posted yesterday, if anyone is interested.)

Some of the clouds looked like cotton puffs, like this one right over the trail.
 

The clouds increased.  

By sunset, it was still mild enough to watch the sunset (in a different location) but there were so many clouds I didn't know what type of sunset I would see.

It's difficult to get into the park we like to watch sunsets in, and we weren't in the most scenic location, near a city facility. But if I edit out the trucks I also edit out the sunset, so my apologies. The sign here attracted my attention, too. What, may I ask, is a Xmas Trff Dropoff?

Let's rejoin the sunset, as the clouds catch the last rays of sunlight.

Thank you, Nature, for another performance of beauty.

Joining up, as I do each Friday, with Yogi and the other skywatchers of #SkywatchFriday.

  3. That last sunset looks like it could have been taken from my back deck. I never get tired of looking through the trees to those beautiful sky colors.

  10. Greetings and Salutations! I think the sign meant to say Xamas Tree Drop Off. The e's became F's. LOL!
