Natural Black and White #SkywatchFriday

Spring is gradually winning its battle with winter here in the Southern Tier of New York.  Athough we haven't had severe weather like other parts of the country, we've had some grim looking skies.

Photos taken April 26 right before a rainstorm.

If not for the green grass, you'd think this was taken in black and white.

Same sky from a different direction.


After the rain - puddles.

More puddles. 

I like how this reflection came out, even if it didn't fit the B&W theme.

May May bring true spring at last.  At least today, it has.

Joining Yogi and other sky watching bloggers for #SkywatchFriday, a day early.

  2. I like the reflections too. We're coming to the end of our dry season here in Florida. I'd love a good downpour sometime soon.

  13. After seeing all these puddles, I would like to go jump in one. Alas, will I ever grow up? Nope. Great reflections in these puddles.
