A Touch of Blue and Grey #SkywatchFriday

We still have lots of grey and white skies where I live in the Southern Tier of New York, but blue skies are making an appearance from time to time. 

For example, I took the first two pictures on Friday the 13th.  Lucky day for blue skies, I guess.

Later in the day, though, it increasingly became cloudy.  I know this sky looks ordinary, but it is also cherished.

By Sunday, the grey had returned.

We missed the Thursday lineup of the planets and the crescent moon.  Of course we did.  It was cloudy.  I didn't even feel like trying to take a picture of the sky we did have.  I hope someone else had better luck.

But spring is really coming.  I heard a Northern cardinal sing briefly again yesterday and the male red winged blackbirds should be here in the next three or four days.

  1. Such a difference in the sky on different days. Some days, the blue sings and you feel that spring is almost here. On other days, the grey and dreary skies seem unremitting, as if winter will never let go.

  4. In the last four hours of running errands, we've had fog, rain, sunshine, wind, and snow. Welcome to Michigan.

  7. We've had our share of wintry-looking skies this week. Nevertheless, spring is definitely peeking over the windowsill.
