April to May Skies #SkywatchFriday

Spring has finally come to the Southern Tier of New York (I hope!)  I still have no sunsets to show you, but at last I have some actual blue skies to show you.  Let's revisit the skies of May Day first.

On May 1st the clouds look like they are shooting out of some central point.

A Bradford Pear on the trail where I exercise walk.

Birds hanging out in a tree.  Behind them, a streaky sky.  

Now, let's move forward to yesterday.  I attended my first in person meeting since COVID, in a local park, and took these pictures after the meeting.

This is a park I haven't shown you in a long time, but here's a post I did on it back in 2013.   Our area calls itself "The Carousel Capital" because we have six operating carousels during the summer months.  Best of all, they are free to ride.  The structure on the right is the housing for this park's carousel.

A redbud tree in full bloom.

Bradford Pears finishing up.

Finally, just to come full circle, we walked on the same trail as we did on May 5.  This time, it's a grey catbird in a tree.  And, the trees are greening up.

Joining Yogi and other skywatchers, as I do each Friday, for #SkywatchFriday.
