Fall Color and Christmas #SkywatchFriday

We have had such mild weather where I live in the Southern Tier of New York that our fall foliage is hanging on (although, yesterday, we had a little rain and breezes brought a lot of leaves down).

On November 4 my spouse and I went to a local park to walk and see the foliage that remained.  Also, we wanted to soak in those blue skies.



The sky was so blue with just hints of clouds.  We had a pleasant walk.

At the same time, workers were putting up lights for the annual Christmas lighting display, which will open later this month. 


This isn't the first time Christmas and fall color have intersected but this unseasonable weather has disoriented me a little.

Next week, back to reality as the weather becomes more seasonable and the fall/winter dreary clouds assert themselvs.

Joining Yogi and other skywatchers each Friday for #SkywatchFriday.

  1. Gorgeous color. And yes, even here the unseasonably warm weather is disconcerting.

  4. Christmas already? Although, they do have to start early enough for it to be ready. (I've been whining at the students for turning on Christmas music in class this week. More than once a day. Although, not so far today... knock on wood...)

  6. Wonderful pictures of lovely autumn colors. There is no blue like the blue of an October sky.

  8. Here in Southeast Virginia, it is seasonably cool. I reminded my Virginia wife that in Connecticut, where I grew up, it can be seasonably COLD and that she should be grateful.
    BTW, so not ready for Christmas.

  9. Nice bright sky. Our weather is warmish again. Not today, it's rainy, but yesterday was nearly 70, and some upcoming days are expected to be too.
