For Skywatch Friday, a few photos taken after a rainy day. Love when the skies start to clear!
Today's quote:
I tire so of hearing people say, / Let things take their course. / Tomorrow is another day. / I do not need my freedom when I'm dead. / I cannot live on tomorrow's bread.
-Langston Hughes, poet and novelist (1902-1967)
Skies washed clean after the rain
ReplyDeleteAnd down came the leaves! I do like wet earth smell, and the clean air when the sun shines again!
DeleteLovely sky photos.
ReplyDeleteThanks. Simple.
DeleteI, like you, love the floatation of cloudy skies, how they pule up in anger and then dissipate into a lovely blue sky!
ReplyDeleteHaving lived in FL I certainly had plenty of opportunities to see thunder storms come and go. There's a bit less view here, but they do build up over the mountain ridges.
DeleteHoping for rain . . .
ReplyDeleteMe too, I want to go see how the rain garden is doing at church. This would be a good test of their design. Me splashing around with my little phone camera, probably just lots of fallen leaves...very dull! But the need for rain everywhere is high.
DeleteNice sky views! Is that a tourist info center in the second photo? Beautiful header, very nice indeed!
ReplyDeleteIt's just a shelter, perhaps has a picnic bench in it. Right next to it during the summer is a water feature with spouts springing up at random intervals, and families with little kids really enjoy it when it's hot. Nearby is a public restroom building, which also is available to all. Our Chamber of Commerce is down the street, with many brochures inside.
DeleteVery pretty skies. Always nice to see them clear after a rain!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much.
DeleteThose clouds seem to be letting a lot of light through. It’s a good combination.
ReplyDeleteSome days they come and go, and I'm looking for some coming with rain tonight!
DeleteThese are pretty.
ReplyDeleteHydrangeas are beautiful in the fall and look how tall those have grown. I love how they change colors to blue and pink earlier in the year. I see two nests in the third photograph. They must be preparing for the winter months ahead. I love the smell after the rain too. Rain cleans the sidewalks, the leaves, the flowers, the cars and helps us to remember that nature does what it wants and when it wants to. Enjoy your weekend.
ReplyDeleteReally pretty.
ReplyDeleteTerrific sky photographs.
