Solstice Clouds #SkywatchFriday

It's the first SkywatchFriday of the summer of 2021.  I had wanted to feature a solstice sunset but Nature had other plans.

These photos were taken along the Susquehanna River in the Southern Tier of New York on the afternoon of this year's summer solstice.  These were some of the final hours of spring.

A peaceful day along the river.

Hmmm. Clouds puffing up.

Goodbye, spring.

Later that day, storms and a cold front came, breaking a heat spell and plunging us back into April weather (brrrr) for the early part of this past week. Now, summer is returning and we'll be back in the 90's by the weekend.  Fortunately, we aren't getting the heat the West is getting.

Joining Yogi and other sky watching bloggers at #SkywatchFriday. Why not visit some of the other sky watching bloggers and enjoy what they have to offer?

    I usually love those big puffy clouds, and although these are beautiful too, the last pic does remind me of the Challenger explosion.

    As long as the clouds aren't grey, I don't mind the big, fluffy ones. (I also love that you support chocolate in a well lived life).
