Grey Skies Coming Our Way #SkywatchFriday

 Whew!  It's May 1st.

Now I can rest. The Blogging from A to Z Challenge is over (except for my Reflections post next week) and I can get back to watching the skies.

But the skies lately, where I live in the Southern Tier of New York, haven't been too sunny and blue recently.  So, for May Day, I bring you these.

Yes, these are color pictures.

April 21. 

April 30. 

April 30. 

Contrast with this picture from April 27. 

After warmer than normal temperatures, we are going to return to cooler temperatures.  We may even have a frost next week (which would be a disaster for our local apple crop). 

I was going to show you some lovely spring pictures but maybe I'll get back to the beauty of spring next week.

Joining Yogi and other skywatchers for #SkywatchFriday.

  2. Your skies may not be colorful but they are dramatic. We've had a week long cool spell.

  4. That's kind of what our skies look like today. And yesterday. We have hit the gloomy season, what the weather people call May gray.

  6. Gloomy weather is daily here lately but then the sun let's us know that it is up in the sky and then hides again. In the 40s here.

  13. ha, ha, when you said - "these are color pictures" - I thought - "yes, you took them in color and converted to B&W". and then I enlarged them and realized what you meant. that's the sky we have right now.
