Cold & Warm, Partly Cloudy Skies
For this week's Skywatch Friday post, I'm uploading photos from two different mornings in the last week. The first two are from early on a frosty morning, after a 24-hour freezing fog finally lifted. This is frost, not snow, in both these photos!
The last shot is from this morning, when I went to Palmer Park to hike with little Socks. It was fairly warm, with skies that were partly sunny, making for flat, colorless light. I've got more photos to post from this hike.
We've got some really cold weather on the way - on Friday our high temperature may be 1° F(-17° C) - but luckily these cold spells are usually very short. Enjoy lots more skyward photographs at the Skywatch Friday meme.

Gorgeous captures, Al, as always! I love the pattern of the clouds in the first shot! Fascinating! And so is the tree in the second. Sounds as though you and Socks had a great hike! Have a lovely evening and a great day tomorrow!

The thick frost is very pretty! I'm happy to see the photos rather than take them. Palmer Park looks a little warmer. Interesting boulders!
ReplyDeleteWOW, frost?...fantastic...great shots.

That is Very heavy frost. The sky is almost a continuation of the tree in the 2nd shot. That's just Way too cold for me. Nice shots.
