The Binghamton, New York rain festival has paused a couple of times this week just long enough to make us appreciate blue skies and puffy clouds.
As I blog this, the rain has returned. No spectacular sunrises or sunsets for us.
The plain and ordinary can become magical. I spend my time in this part of spring looking down at flowers; it is time to appreciate what is above me.
These pictures were taken yesterday.
I also found the last magnolia blossom on a tree while I was looking at the sky.
Join Yogi and the other bloggers who watch the sky each week at Skywatch Friday.
Welcome! I hope I bring a spot of calm and happiness into these uncertain times. I blog about flowers, gardening, my photography adventures, the importance of chocolate in a well lived life, or anything else on my mind.

Great sky shots. I think you really capture your love of nature in your photos.
ReplyDeleteI love your comment about the plain becoming magical. I think that one of the secrets of life is knowing just that.
ReplyDeleteClouds can be a great shot, and rain can be nice (especially if you need it). I hope the weather improves soon.
ReplyDeleteLovely!
ReplyDeleteGlad you were looking up. These are beautiful sky shots! Enjoy your weekend.
ReplyDeleteIf it were not for the rain, we would not truly appreciate the blue skies when we get them! But I really got tired all of those rainy days we had this Spring, too.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments on my blog. To answer your question - I think the flowering hedge is a shrub - Privet Hedge - though it will grow as tall as a small tree if you don't keep it cut back.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Beautiful! I take a lot of photos with clouds.
