Sometimes, on an otherwise cloudy day where I live in the Southern Tier of New York, the sun will make a brief appearance (especially in the morning, for some reason). On January 12 I was fortunate enough to be out walking when I realized I was looking at blue sky.
I decided to take this picture. When do I see clouds like that in January? Not often.
About a half hour before sunset, I took another picture. Now, that's more like it.
But the sky wasn't finished with me yet. On January 15, I took this picture looking to the south. It's so grim it looks like it was taken in black and white but trust me, it's a color picture.
Perhaps five minutes later, I realized that the sun was shining if I looked to the east.
I love the changing sky.

Blue skies are great for lifting mood
ReplyDeleteThey are all so beautiful...the sky changes and reveals so many different moods all the time. I'm so glad you clicked them and shared them here, Alana! So nice visiting your lovely blog after a long time. Here's wishing you a very happy and blessed year in 2025! And looking forward to your sky captures too!
ReplyDeleteThe sky is an ever-changing palette of colour and pattern.
ReplyDelete...oh, so that's what a blue sky looks like?
ReplyDeleteBlue skies in January, very nice
ReplyDeleteSnow is pretty, I'll give it that much. I like it for a couple of days! Long enough to take pretty pictures!
ReplyDeleteOur skies have been mostly bright blue with white puffy clouds this week. But the forecasters tell us gray skies and rain are coming this weekend. All part of the ever-changing weather tableau.
ReplyDeleteI love the terrific sky shots that you got. I love the cloudy, overcast days that we get this time of year.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous sky and clouds! The blue lightens the mood.
ReplyDeleteA true blogger you are, taking the photos on the fly.
ReplyDeleteI love the changing sky too. Pretty photos. I did think that one was in b&w!
ReplyDeleteThose rich blue skies with big fluffy clouds on winter days is so nice. We had a good deal bit of sunshine yesterday and today. Our temperatures are quite mild for a change but this is just a tease. Things are fixing to get wicked again come Sunday. Brrr, I'm so tired of the cold. Fabulous sky photos!
ReplyDeleteWow, that really does look like to switched it to black & white. Very gray day. I'm glad to hear you're getting a little sun, if only a little.
ReplyDeleteA little sun is better than none, especially in January! Lovely photos, Alana.
