Sky Watch Friday



I love to watch the skies, but cold and wind have kept me inside a lot lately. I did get out the day these pictues were taken, because, despite dire predictions by the weatherman of sleet and snow, the day dawned bright and sunny. By afternoon it was a little cloudy, but not very, as attested to by these photos.








But today, and every day, skies will seem brighter now that Barack Obama has become our President! and, "We have chosen HOPE over fear."


Let us see your skies. Ivar, Fishing guy, Klaus, Louise, Sandy and Wren host Sky Watch every week for us.

    I'm like you, I love the bare branches against the sky! They always look as though they're etched there. Really beautiful shots! Do stay warm and thanks for sharing, Bobbie.

    Hope over fear is right. I love these views.

    I just removed a blog from my blogroll whose owner called President Obama a closet marxist. I am tired of that sort of sniping and meanness. It has no place in this world if we are to move on.

    Hope over fear; say it loud and clear! Yes we can.

    The bare trees look so delicate against this muted sky. Very, very nice scenes.

    Hi Bobbie, I like those cold looking skies. You can keep them, ours are warmer.
    Happy SkyWatching, it's been a while. Today my sky is one from Florida.

    I like the silver in the sky, in addition to the bare branches.

    Certainly hopeful skies. I hope the hopes the world puts on one man may somehow be reasized.

    Bare tree against the sky, like living sculptures. This has been a great week for cultivating hope, things are definitely looking up. Happy SWF!

    You have truly captured such wonderful light in your shots. Trees without their leaves often are more interesting than with their leaves and you clearly demonstrate that with these fine images.
