Now and Then Skies #SkywatchFriday #LastPhoto

It's been a year since the world changed.

But, much in our lives has not changed.  The sun rises.  The sun sets.  Birds sing and fly and interact with each other.  Trees leaf out and bloom.  That's the beauty of Skywatch Friday, that we can still mark these occasions.


Sunrise March 3. 


 A walk by the Susquehanna River.  Farewell to the constantly white, dreary skies of winter.


Last week, we watched clouds in the sky.

Wednesday, we took a drive after work to buy some maple syrup.

Yesterday, we went to our local botanical garden.

One final photo.  NBC News has a project called "Last Photo" where they show the last photo people took before the pandemic descended on us (March 11, 2020).  This photo is one of my last photos - a sunrise on my way to work in downtown Binghamton, New York, on March 9, 2020.   Never did I realize it would be one of the last times....

  3. I hadn't heard of the Last Photo thing, but I love the idea. What we lost is also what we're sacrificing for.

  4. Nice photos. I will have to check my camera roll. I'm not sure what my "last photo" was.

  5. Our pictures do take on a different hue under the long lens of a year, don't they!
    I love your Skywatch pictures. And how bittersweet that last photo!

  6. That's an interesting photo project. I think I'll go back and check my files on or around 3/9 last year.

  7. Indeed, I love your skies. Winter was okay but it is time for it to go. I'm glad to see that I am not the only skywatcher that doesn't mind wires in the shot. It's part of the scene as far as I am concerned.
