Late Summer Skies and Trees
For this week's Skywatch Friday post, here are some typical late-summer skies seen through the trees at Fox Run Park, taken recently while I was walking Socks. First up is a pine tree, followed by a beautiful Colorado aspen. These blue skies with white clouds are very common in the early afternoon; later those clouds can build into strong thunderstorms.
And finally, here's a sky which I though looked like it was painted in watercolors - not worth a post by itself but I wanted to show it anyway.

Been seeing a Lot of clouds here also, not always white and fluffy. I love looking through the trees.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the advice. I have a 500GB external so will continue to move pics to it, and burn DVDs as a back up.
Nice place, my favorite photo is taken at the pine, big tree
ReplyDeletelove the Colorado Aspen pic. it's beautiful. the last picture does appear to have a bit of watercolor look about it. hope all is well. have a great day.
ReplyDeleteThe sky is lovely seen through the branches!
ReplyDeleteThe light through the leaves is beautiful and I have a weakness for the blue hues of the sky! I could stare forever.

ReplyDeletePS:I can't believe it's so cold over there already! It seems like fall is a million years away here :-)
All photos are great, but the first is my favourite ;-)

ReplyDeleteI absolutely love the second shot Al with the light through the leaves.
ReplyDeletei like the perspective on the first photo. i agree the third one looks like painted in watercolour. love the blue and white hues :)
ReplyDeleteI like the first photo, my Dad used to draw/ paint trees with these leaves
ReplyDeleteTrees against the backdrop of the blue skies is always such a stunner, and these are awesome~ Have a great weekend~
ReplyDeleteAll your photos are great. Anyone of them would have stood alone as a feature for today. You did an excellent job your post.
ReplyDeleteLiked the tree with the sky background. Great composition. Thanks for sharing.

Green leaves against the sky are something to appreciate at this time of year, when soon they'll be turning colour and falling.
ReplyDeleteThe last shot is lovely and delicate - definitely worth including.
lovely skies!
