Just An Ordinary Sky #SkywatchFriday

Where I live in the Southern Tier of New York, the smoky air from the various wildfires in Canada and some area of the United States has cleared out.  Better yet, rain was predicted for Wednesday.

A couple of sky pictures from Tuesday (June 13).

I had never appreciated puffy clouds and blue skies so much.

Wednesday, it rained in the morning and then things cleared for a while.  We went to the park for a walk.

But then the clouds started to get the look of rain again.

Were we about to get even more rain?

Uh-oh.
 

Hurray for rain! Not long after I took this picture, we left the park, and a few minutes later, the skies opened.

I hope it helps with the fires.  My heart goes out to those currently affected.  We may be getting it back next week, too, alas.

Joining Yogi and other skywatchers for #SkywatchFriday.

  2. Good thing the sky gave you a clue as to what was about to happen, sounds like you got out of there just in time.

  3. Very pretty skies. I know what you mean about "ordinary." Lately we've had so many red sunsets I'm nearly bored of taking more pictures of them! I do like fluffy white clouds on blue, blue skies.

  7. We like clouds as a promise for rain; sometimes, they don't deliver their promise,; hence we feel frustrated.
    Great shots of cloudy skies!
