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.

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.

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.
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.
October is my favorite month. What's the rush, October? Stay awhile.
ReplyDelete...you have enjoyed some wonderful skies.
ReplyDeleteVery nice skies. I wish the bird was more than just a dot.
ReplyDeleteLove the spooky look of the tree, perfect for October.
ReplyDeleteThe trees are coloring up nicely. I did find the bird, but I had to rub stops on my dirty monitor to make sure it wasn't something dried on! It was probably very exciting to watch it circling. I've had a dozen crows in one of my cedars. Kind of creepy seeing them all standing there. I wait with the phone up to catch them leave, they all leave at once.
ReplyDeleteYour October weather sounds like typical October weather here (except for when we get the Santa Anas, which are forecast for today, but don't seem to have materialized).
ReplyDeleteI love sky-gazing, too. Let's hear it for more mild weather.
ReplyDeleteGreetings and Salutations! Your black walnut tree does look spooky. Yes, try doing it in black and white. May be interesting who knows until one tries. Fall is my favorite season.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you've been getting some gorgeous skies. Go ahead, get that camera!
ReplyDeleteAll eyes heavenward! I love clear skies. That picture of the sun glinting off the water is especially stunning!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos.
