Sky Watch Friday #39

Spring is here and the skies are looking pretty good again! Our Sky Watch is hosted by a great team. Thanks to all of them!

This past week we had a mix of weather, but the blue skies kept returning, and the fruit trees and forsythia and flowering almond were blooming, making a very pretty picture against that lovely blue.

Beautiful flowering trees against a beautiful blue sky! Doesn't get any better than that!

What are those pink ones? they're all over downtown here, and originally I thought they were just pink dogwoods (the state flower -- which you'd expect in the state capital). But then I looked closer and realized they were... something else. But they look a lot like these.

Nice shooting!

There are few prettier sights than blossoms and blue skies! The colours in the blossoms remind me of toffee bonbons - strawberry, lemon and plain flavoured!

What a wonderful selection of flowering trees and the sky is gorgeous as a backdrop for these things of beauty.

They really are perfect photos for SWF. I don't know which is which but I love the one with the pink/red blooms. They are just great. Thanks for your visit on my SWF post.

Such LOVELY Spring blossom against pretty blue skies. Where DID this week go? I need to think about what to share on my blogs for Friday and will return to check out this week's offering once I do.
Hugs and blessings,
