Blue and Ice #SkywatchFriday

Sunday, where I live in the Southern Tier of New York State, it was sunny and mild enough to take a walk and take off my gloves long enough to take a picture. (I have circulatory issues in my hands and feet, and have to be careful to keep them warm.)

Here we are again at the park where we walk when we know the walk won't be long enough due to the cold.  We've had some highs close to the single digits Fahrenheit, which is brrrrr in Celsius.

One could say there is little character in a blue sky. But, living in a climate where we ache to see the sun sometimes, I disagree.

An empty bench - too cold today for sitting and watching.

Ice floating on the river.  Back "in the old days" the river would have been frozen over by now.

Let's take a closer look.

Want to see what the sky usually looks like here in winter after a snow?  Here's a view from Monday of the park from the street.

We won't be walking in that park for a while - we got about seven inches of snow Sunday night into Monday, and the path isn't maintained in that particular park. But no worries, I will have other sky sights for you all lined up.

Joining Yogi and other sky watchers each Friday for #SkywatchFriday.
