February Drama Skies #SkywatchFriday

During this past month, the up and down weather we've been experiencing here in the Southern Tier of New York has continued.

This made for some interesting skies.  The first three are from February 18.

Between the ground and the first level of clouds, you can see some ray like things, which my spouse told me was snow falling that wasn't reaching the ground.
 

We walked to where we could get a better picture and zoomed in a little.

We walked still further and passed some trees which were loaded (the small dots towards the top of the trees

These last two pictures were taken in the same park on February 9.

Two Canada geese flying, towards sunset, to their night time sleeping places. They are the dots in the center right.

Four more in flight.

And to all, a good night.

  2. It's so much fun to browse through your photos from your faraway spot. I especially love the second one with those sunbeams piercing through the clouds. And the last photo captivates me with its vibrant colors. There's still so much beauty to discover, isn't there? I stumbled upon your blog via Skywatch. Warm greetings from the Netherlands! 🌷 https://momentsfrozentime.blogspot.com/

  4. In the first two pictures, the sky is rather ominous looking.
    I do like the sky in the next three pictures - more its natural blue color.

  8. As long as the Canadian geese are going elsewhere. Although, they're not getting chicks yet, so they're not as rude as they will be in a couple months.
