I hadn't taken a picture of the sky in a couple of weeks, at least - my eyes were focused on all the spring blooming plants around me, and the occasional snow flurries. But it's time to get on track with sky photography.
Yesterday spouse and I decided to take a walk on our local Rail Trail, the Vestal Rail Trail.
We parked the car and, as I got out, I saw a halo.
I started to snap pictures as we walked onto the trail.
Yesterday it was a breezy day, but the sun was shining, and it was the perfect finish for a day before Skywatch Friday.
Joining Yogi and the other bloggers who watch the sky each Friday at #SkywatchFriday. Got a good sky picture? Why not join us?
...I rarely see a halo, thanks.
ReplyDeleteVery nice
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures. I had never heard mare's tail for cirrus clouds.
ReplyDeleteGreat views.
ReplyDeleteNothing quite so interesting as the sky! These are beautiful! Here, a halo precedes a weather change--usually colder. Mind you any change in the sky around here is a sign of conditions getting colder. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteP.S. Mare's tails have always been my favourite clouds. So . . . sweepy!
Those halo pictures are so unique. And I too had never heard of a mare's tail (and my dad was a lifelong amateur weather person).
ReplyDeleteBeautiful sky shots! :)
ReplyDeleteLooks like a perfect day for a walk, with gorgeous skies. I like the sun halo!
ReplyDeletePretty halo! I don't see them very often at all. There must be a children's book about clouds called Mare's Tails and Mackerel Scales, because whenever I read or hear "Mare's Tails" I have to add in "Mackerel Scales!"
ReplyDeleteA couple of those almost look like images from space. I don't know if I've seen a halo before.
ReplyDeletelovely skyshots
ReplyDeleteHi Alana - love the halo ... I thought it was surrounding the North American continent ... an ephemeral one! The sky always amazes me ... fun shots - cheers Hilary
