Skywatch Catch-up
If any of you have missed posting a Skywatch entry for one week, you might understand how I’m feeling. It is amazing how many skies there are to share, and missing one week just really makes a person feel behind. But I’m going to shake these feelings of behindness - goodness knows they’re manifesting all over in my life - and I’ll just enjoy the opportunity I have now to share. So glad to be back. Life feels a little out of balance. There’s nothing like a few skies to browse to wash the tension out of my shoulders (only to have it wrenched back in when I realize how much time I’ve spent visiting sky blogs and how much behinder I just got!)
Fall is in full swing. The colors haven’t been as intensely varied as in years passed, but I’m still enjoying the colors. And the cool air (it’s been downright COLD this week!). The skies change too - I’ve never taken the time to observe the sky changes before this year. It’s been so much fun!
The clouds seem more dense on some of these fall evenings. I love to watch them - these were traveling at quite a clip. They had some other places to see. Wish they’d take me along!
These clouds were content just to sit and watch my pond. And the cows.
With the sun coming up a bit later, it’s easier for me to see some colors from the Library window. I love how the mist just hangs in this picture. This is quite typical of where we live - sometimes it takes quite some time to burn off.
The color on this evening was SO dense it made the whole farm feel orange.
Happy fall, and happy sky watching! Thanks for stopping by. You can see more amazing sky pictures from all around the world by visiting here.

Love, love, LOVE the first and last photos. The clouds in the first seem heavy, and the rolling hills almost make me ache for that kind of scenery.
The last one in orange is just spectacular!
Your skies get more interesting while mine clear up and get somewhat boring (though beautiful–just the same every day).

I like your series of photos…isn’t it amazing how the sky does change through just one day?
October 30th, 2008 at 2:40 pm
i love the fog in the 3rd photo.
thanks for sharing!

October 30th, 2008 at 2:50 pm
Gorgeous series, the last one is fantastic!
Happy SWF!
October 30th, 2008 at 2:53 pm
Beautiful skies - I love the composition in the first one and the reflection in the pond was a super catch!
Glad you’re back!
October 30th, 2008 at 2:53 pm
Amazing, as though the clouds came down to earth.

AMAZING SHOTS, DEIRDRE, DEWD! I especially love the foggy mountains… I love the effect! Love it! The last made me feel so warm. Welcome back. Hope things are settling down some for you!
October 30th, 2008 at 2:59 pm
Great photos I liked the last two the best, the colors are awesome and the clouds are great.
October 30th, 2008 at 2:59 pm
I love your sunset shot with the tree. It’s so calming. I just love it.

I love that fog shot! Love.it. That must be kinda creepy to see in the dark, na?
October 30th, 2008 at 3:11 pm
Great your shots and views.
October 30th, 2008 at 3:14 pm
Sky Watch is addictive!
I love the last orange sky.
Happy SW Friday!
October 30th, 2008 at 3:15 pm
Very nice selection. I think my favorite is the 3rd one.
October 30th, 2008 at 3:21 pm
Lovely skies! It doesn’t seem THAT long ago that all your skies were pure blue.
October 30th, 2008 at 3:23 pm
That is a lovely sunrise set, I could not help myself this morning ether, seems a lot of us had cloudy sunrises this morning.
Love the valley fog. Isn’t it hard to choose the shots for the post though?
October 30th, 2008 at 3:24 pm
Farmchick,
I can’t decide which of those last two shots I like best! The colors of that sunset are gorgeous, but it’s hard to beat a misty morning pic … especially one with a pink-tinged sky like that. Absolutely beautiful!

RFL: What a wonderful show you put on today and the pond has an amazing reflection, so well done.
October 30th, 2008 at 3:57 pm
These are all wonderful, but I especially love the second because I love reflections and the third because I love fog and mist!
October 30th, 2008 at 3:59 pm
Hi RFC, these are lovely pictures and show so much of the changes in sun colours.
As I have said I love your water feature with the reflections in.
I would show you mine but its only a 2′x 2′frog pond.
I really enjoyed the mist in the trees. They all are great pictures though.
October 30th, 2008 at 4:00 pm
Lovely pictures again, have missed SWF also for a week.
October 30th, 2008 at 4:01 pm
Wonderful soft clouds. And I love the mist. A great SWF post
October 30th, 2008 at 4:03 pm
Oh, the ones with the pink sky and fog is amazing. Great SWF post.
October 30th, 2008 at 4:12 pm
Gosh… all so pretty but that last one made me gasp! SOOOOOO pretty!
October 30th, 2008 at 4:18 pm
Beautiful series!
October 30th, 2008 at 4:41 pm
EAch of your photo is a beauty! I especially like the first one ‘The sky has finally fallen…’ =D but the last golden photo is amazing! Happy SWF! (I know how it is when missing a post…) TC!
October 30th, 2008 at 4:54 pm
Some gorgeaous shots here and that first one so dramatic
October 30th, 2008 at 5:05 pm
Wonderful photos,all of them.Love your little pond there!
October 30th, 2008 at 5:17 pm
…sigh… I do love to look at the clouds and these are all the kind I would happily spend the better part of a day looking at!
Thanks for coming by to see both of my SW photos. Have a wonderful weekend!
October 30th, 2008 at 5:35 pm
Lovely — each one! I love the mist hanging in the low spots, and the orange sky is fantastic!
October 30th, 2008 at 5:51 pm
That’s some beautiful views you’ve got! I’m jealous!
October 30th, 2008 at 6:38 pm
Lovely shots. What I find most interesting is that I remember those scenes from previous posts; I feel like I’m looking at a pond that I know. Love the one at bottom.
October 30th, 2008 at 6:54 pm
Your photos are so beautiful! You must live in beautiful surroundings.Thanks for visiting. Have a great weekend.
October 30th, 2008 at 7:02 pm
All sensational no favourites, all too good.
October 30th, 2008 at 7:48 pm
Whereever you live, you have beautiful skies! Love the photos!
October 30th, 2008 at 8:02 pm
I loved this sequence of shots. They are all so beautiful in their individual ways.

Beautiful collection of photos for sky watch friday, all kinds of wonderful colours happening there.
Thanks for sharing your lovely view of the horizon.
October 30th, 2008 at 8:44 pm
Can you take night shots? The moonbow at Cumberland Falls is very rare and beautiful to witness. The colder the better to see all the colors.
October 30th, 2008 at 9:07 pm
I love all your photos.

Stop feeling your behind-ness…

October 31st, 2008 at 8:59 am
Love that sky against those copper trees in the first one, and that last one looks like a scene from Gone with the Wind! Good catch up
October 31st, 2008 at 9:18 am
Hi Deirdre, I don’t know where you live but it sure looks beautiful. Great sky shots, I especially like the one with the fog laying in there. It reminds me of Germany where my wife grew up. Their saying for the fog in the morning is “the foxes are making coffee”
October 31st, 2008 at 9:28 am
All of those are just great!
October 31st, 2008 at 10:05 am
Great shots. I love to watch the clouds–there are so many different ones.
I checked out the cards you made. GGrreat!! MB
October 31st, 2008 at 12:49 pm
What a beautiful sky watch photos. love the clouds.
October 31st, 2008 at 12:56 pm
Gorgeous series of morning sky shots.
Have a great weekend.
October 31st, 2008 at 1:02 pm
Gorgeous clouds — lovely additions to SkyWatch. Thanks for your visit and I enjoyed visiting you too! Where is your farm?
Have a great weekend.
October 31st, 2008 at 1:54 pm
Love the sunset colours! Wow, quite a following/group at Skywatch. I’m comment number 70 today, I see! Next time I might #100! Also, got your comments on my site - actually, you’re already listed - see top right!
Sorry I didn’t ask, did I?! Now i’m in cow-pie doodoo…
I’ll add something to those comments now-now.
Totsiens,
Maggie

Nice set of images. Great photos!
I think getting blinds could be the answer. I think maybe you could get people to chip in to fund the purchase? Saving wildlife is always a worthy cause.
October 31st, 2008 at 5:44 pm
Stunning photographs. I love the mist one. So magical. Also the other ones are amazing. Thank you for sharing them and for stopping by.
Happy skywatching:-)
October 31st, 2008 at 7:01 pm
Your sky pictures are so beautiful! I love the reflection of the clouds in the pond and the evening’s orange glow. Very lovely post!
October 31st, 2008 at 7:54 pm
Just beautiful!
Hope everyone is having a Happy Halloween and a Blessed Samhain!
October 31st, 2008 at 9:07 pm
What beautiful clouds.
November 1st, 2008 at 2:26 am
Hi, thank you so much for your kind comment.
The pictures you have posted this week are very special each one.
The sky with the fast moving clouds wanting to be somewhere else…beautiful.
The reflection in the pond…beautiful.
The fog, and above a pink glow saying Hurray it is going to be another great day, what could be better?
To round it off an enchanting evening.
I enjoyed myself. Thank you.
November 1st, 2008 at 8:27 am
I only have one thing to say: WOW!!
Great SWF photos. Thanks for sharing.
November 1st, 2008 at 8:46 pm
Great series of swf photos.
November 2nd, 2008 at 7:09 am
Beautiful skies, my friend. Thanks.
November 2nd, 2008 at 7:45 pm
Oh wow, the one with the mist and the very soft sky colors, that’s so beautiful.
November 3rd, 2008 at 12:32 am

I love all your sky watch photos, they are so clear and beautiful colours.
Sorry about the delay in commenting back, I didnt realise I hadnt been here.
Thank you for your comment on my blog.
Hope you have a good week.
November 3rd, 2008 at 12:33 pm
Great progression of shots…
BTW, if you were the keeper of a lighthouse, bet your windows would look like Jupiter glass…or you’d be out of work.
