A Ray of Light #SkywatchFriday

We've been in a rainy (and dreary sky) pattern in the Southern Tier of New York.  It's (for us, anyway) held off frosts but doesn't make for the most colorful pictures.

The fall colors are muted.

 But then, something like this happens.  Look at the right side of the photo.

What was that beam of light? (Taken October 17).  A light tornado?   It stayed with us the rest of our walk.


The next day, colors were still muted.

But I think the trees are starting to get impatient.  Weather or no weather, they are going to turn.
If we get a frost Monday (they may be backing off on that) the trees will be kicked into high gear.
Perhaps the path is now clearer to a different weather pattern.

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

  4. You are a little ahead of us. Some of our trees are thinking about turning but are not fully committed yet.
    I love your light tornado.

  5. Muted colors are still colors. We appreciate the bright days more after we've had the dreary ones. It'll be nice to get colder weather after this summer.

  6. Ugh. I'm sick of the gray and the rain. Better than snow, though.

  7. No matter what the skies are doing, the beautiful leaves on the trees make me smile this time of year.

  9. Dreary skies remind me of living further north - It starts in the fall and is often the sky throughout winter. Love that shaft of light.
