To me, it seems that May has come and gone in a flash. No, it isn't gone yet, but this is the last Skywatch Friday of May.
I'm thinking back to some of the skies we had this month.
Most dramatic, perhaps, were the skies of this past Monday and Tuesday (May 22-23). High up in the sky, we wondered if smoke from the Canadian wildfires had reached our area. Just think, where I live in New York State, we are thousands of miles away. What is it like closer? I don't ever wish to find out.
May 22, an American robin (Turdus migratorius) (tiny dot in the bottom third of the photo scolds me, but I wanted to show you the sky. Those look like storm clouds but they aren't. My spouse, who is into the weather, said we should have had blue skies.
By the next day, it got a bit more interesting.
May 23, around 4:45 pm, the clouds look so dramatic.
Again, no storm in sight.
On May 24, a cold front came through and our blue skies returned.
And now, this morning, we are under a frost advisory (we were last night, too).
Joining Yogi and other sky watchers each Friday for #SkywatchFriday.
And hoping that the wildfire situation improves soon.
...I don't think that the smoke has reached here yet!
ReplyDeleteDramatic.
ReplyDeleteI love cloud plays. Beautiful scenery
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is the last picture, beautiful blue skies with a peek of the lake, framed by all of the greenery.
ReplyDeleteVery dramatic skies
ReplyDeleteHow lovely when those blue skies return.
ReplyDeletePretty skies, and a nice variety. Yes, May has flown by so quickly!!
ReplyDeleteMy eyes are on the sky every day. So much to love.
ReplyDeleteAppreciate the sky pix and thanks for sharing the robin's Latin name. It is so appropriate regarding the presents they leave all over my deck and fence. My name now calls all the robins "Turdus."
ReplyDeleteSmoky skies are not fun. At least you're not that close. We've had gray skies too, but that's normal for us this time of year.
ReplyDeleteLovely series of sky photos ~ nature's treasure ~

You captured some amazing skies. Sometimes with forest fire smoke from long ways away everything just turns gray.
ReplyDeleteSo interesting.
ReplyDeleteSome skies are beautiful
ReplyDeleteinteresting clouds - I would have kept looking for rain
ReplyDeleteInteresting pictures but a frost advisory? Isn't it a bit late for that?
ReplyDeleteCanadians are really into sharing. Sorry about the smoke! Great pictures!
