Joe Pye Skies #SkywatchFriday

A couple of weeks ago, my guest photographer was out in the country and took these pictures.  By then we had lost most of the fire haze (hurray!) and you could see the blue in the sky again.

A beautiful sky, beautiful hills, here in the Southern Tier of New York.

Beautiful Joe Pye weed and goldenrod, too.  Nature always combines its colors perfectly.

Joe Pye weed?  Here's a closeup.  If you wonder how it got it's name, this site explains.


One more shot of the sky.

  9. I like photos that have lots of depth to them. And yours have some color in them as well. Not familiar with Joe Pye weed.
