Halfway Through October #SkywatchFriday

If you are looking for my Garden Bloggers Bloom Day post, it will go up a little later this morning.

If you are looking for skies, though, you've come to the right place. 

We are halfway through October - so hard to believe but the weather has not been typical.  It's been absolutely wonderful, even though, part of the time, it was cloudy and overcast.  But the other part of the time - ahhh. Temperatures in the low 70's (21 C).  No frost yet (unlike last year, when we had a frost in September.)

Here are some highlights of a sky week in the Southern Tier of New York.

October 11, mare's tails in the afternoon.

Sunset October 11, against an overcast sky.

Sunrise October 12, complete with power lines.

Just a little dot in on the right side, middle

October 12, spouse and I took our lunchtime walk in our local park.  To our amazement, there was a big bird lazily circling in the sky, hardly flapping at all.  At one point the sun glinted off of the bird, and you could see a white head and white tipped tail feathers.  

Still talking myself into getting a camera

We think it was a bald eagle, but all you will see is a small dot.  But this is Skywatch, not Birdwatch, so let's move on.

That afternoon, the sun glinted off the river.

Wednesday, back to the overcast.

Thursday, back to the sunshine.
 

Last one - doesn't this black walnut tree look spooky?  I was tempted to post this one in black and white. Maybe I'll try that another time.

Joining up again, as I do each Friday, with Yogi and other skywatchers at #SkywatchFriday.
