A Before and After #SkywatchFriday

We skywatchers look for the perfect sky.  Beautiful sunrises and sunsets.  The full moon at night.  Clouds that make us daydream or gasp.  The moods of the sky.

Today, a simple before and after.

We were walking in the park on Sunday, when we saw this:  we knew, from that now familiar streak, that the bad air (the air from the Canadian wildfires) was starting to return.

It did return, but for us, it wasn't as bad this time as the other times.  We were so happy when the haze disappeared and we saw a clean blue sky about 9am yesterday. This photo was taken almost in the exact same place (not intentionally).

And, by 4pm yesterday, the sky (again, near the same place as the first two photos) signaled we would have storms later that night.

An interesting before and after.

Joining Yogi and other skywatchers for #SkywatchFriday.

  4. That's what's so fascinating (and beautiful) about the sky, you can take a picture of it over and over again, from the same spot, and each time get something different.
