One Day in October #SkywatchFriday

If you read my blog post from yesterday, you'll know that our area of upstate New York, along with so many others, were hit by rain (after a record rainfall year) Tuesday, and the rivers had finally had enough.  Two of the local parks where I walk closed.

Wednesday morning, the sky looked fierce.

But I stood at the entrance of one of the parks later that day, behind the barriers.  I took this picture about 3pm, after the sun finally came out.  It looks so peaceful, but that water was covering most of the park.

As the golden hour approached, you could see the fall foliage change we are finally getting.

After sunset it looks a little spooky.

This has a view (towards bottom of left side) of geese swimming in the park.  This and the previous picture were taken from a flood wall at the entrance of the park.

Yesterday, after heavy fog burned off, we took a fall foliage drive.  I liked the reflection in this farm pond.

By yesterday afternoon the park had reopened as the water had mostly receded.  We took a short walk and I took this reflection photo.  My shadow is on the right side of the photo.

Golden light reflecting on water during the golden hour yesterday.

One final photo.
