The Sky and the Barn
So many of you leave happy comments about the sky over my pond. Last week TheFishingGuy asked about the sky over my barn. What an idea. Same sky. Different perspective. Got on my little Rhino with my little camera, and here’s what you get.
This shot even has a few left-over hay rolls that hadn’t made it into the barn yet. They’re all safe and warm now.
And here’s the same sky over the field. The field looks particularly green. That happens after the hay is mowed and then we had some rain - which has happy new grass growing.
There have been some spectacular sunrise shots on recent Skywatch posts. I dream of having a cool sunrise. I’m sure there is one out there - but from my vantage point, here is what the sunrise looks like:
Actually, the sun would be rising from the opposite direction, but since you know how close the pond mostly seems, you know I’d never see the sun, if I can barely see the pond. Here’s what I saw when I swung around to the east.
Beautiful, ain’t it? Actually, it is pretty. Just not with the stunning, dense colors that some people see when the day overtakes darkness.
Just so you don’t go through complete withdrawal, here’s a pond sky for you. I’ll settle for cool sunsets. I’m not usually up in time to see sunrise - colors or not.
You can see more very amazing skies, clouds, sunrises and sunsets from various angles and from all over the world right here. Better yet, take a shot of your own, and share it with us - everyone can play.

I miss the fog. We almost never have it here in the southwest. When we do, I am out in it until it burns off. Like a waking dream.
October 2nd, 2008 at 2:33 pm
It’s really beautiful!~ I like the last shot:) My SWF is posted HERE. Happy Sky Watching!~
October 2nd, 2008 at 2:35 pm
The fog is pretty and mysterious. Sometimes, very rarely, we have some over the city, and it is so cool. But cooler on the farm, except for laying pipe.
October 2nd, 2008 at 2:38 pm
Love the sky with the barn shot! I enjoyed all the shots but that one was my favorite
:0)
October 2nd, 2008 at 2:41 pm
Beautiful shots - love the misty ones.
October 2nd, 2008 at 2:48 pm
I like the fog-covered surroundings. Eerie but beautiful.
October 2nd, 2008 at 2:48 pm
Barn shots are ALWAYS a hit with me. But I also like your misty ones and the field and… You take nice photos.
Happy Sky Watch!
October 2nd, 2008 at 2:51 pm
Fishing Guy was right to mention your barn… this is another great set of Sky Watch pictures…
Thank you for being a part of this weeks Sky Watch.

Excellent views of your world! Massive views of sky. The reflection in your pond is very well done.
October 2nd, 2008 at 2:55 pm
I enjoyed each and every photo you have posted.
October 2nd, 2008 at 2:59 pm
Nice shots, I love fog and the sunset in the pond is a little cutie.
October 2nd, 2008 at 2:59 pm
Great sereis. Love the mist
Have a nice weekend
October 2nd, 2008 at 3:06 pm
Deirdre, So nice, you thinking of me…
I am honored. I love your shots. Great capture with the fog, and that last one, colors reflected so beautifully in the pond. What scenery you have… sorry you’re reluctant. I guess you can at least enjoy the view… and the chickens. 
October 2nd, 2008 at 3:07 pm
RFC: I must say you made me look really good by taking these great shots and the barn is really special. Thanks for showing us your foggy skies. It’s way better then the rainy skies we have now.
October 2nd, 2008 at 3:22 pm
The fog shots are great. Love them
October 2nd, 2008 at 3:29 pm
Absolutely love the ‘barn’ sky photograph. He was right to make the suggestion.
October 2nd, 2008 at 3:42 pm
I too love the reflected colours in the pond, but feel I must draw your attention to the picture of the barn.
I feel it is timeless and could be used to depict mood in any book or film eg: Tess of the D-urbervilles or even Monet
October 2nd, 2008 at 3:47 pm
All of them was great!!!
October 2nd, 2008 at 3:57 pm
The fog is a wonderful filter. The dramatic silhouettes are great, too. Thanks for these!
October 2nd, 2008 at 4:16 pm
What a great series of sky pictures!
October 2nd, 2008 at 4:25 pm
Wonderful series! I like the pictures with the fog and the last picture with the reflection in the pond.
October 2nd, 2008 at 4:32 pm
Thanks for sharing your skies with us. The sky is always different and always a surprise. Thanks for your visit and have a great weekend.
October 2nd, 2008 at 4:44 pm
I love the mist! The last one is just beautiful. Very very nice.
October 2nd, 2008 at 5:00 pm
Great series of photos for SWF. I really like your barn and see lots of potential photo ops in there. Have a great weekend.
Cheers
October 2nd, 2008 at 5:06 pm
Wonderful set of captures!
October 2nd, 2008 at 5:13 pm
Love that mist! It’s fun to get out in that kind of weather for a casual stroll, and just take it all in.
October 2nd, 2008 at 5:30 pm
Great shots! I love the fog! I cant wait for cooler weather here i get some great sea fog!
happy sky watching!!
October 2nd, 2008 at 5:42 pm
Amazing shots,all of them!
October 2nd, 2008 at 5:52 pm
You certainly live in a beautiful place!!!
October 2nd, 2008 at 6:08 pm
There’s just something calming about a foggy morning. Love the pictures!
October 2nd, 2008 at 6:19 pm
All your photos are beautiful in their own way, showing off different views and moods of the horizon in your part of the globe. Thanks for sharing and our kind comments on my post.
October 2nd, 2008 at 6:26 pm
I love my landscape too.
I´ve repeated the view from my balcony but I´ve seen different perspectives and moments.
Beautiful your farm and barn.
October 2nd, 2008 at 7:02 pm
Very pretty whirlwind tour, Deirdre. Thank you, now I’m dizzy.
Happy Skywatching.

October 2nd, 2008 at 7:13 pm
You live in a very beautiful place! Great pictures! I love the one with the rolling hills - very pretty skies!
October 2nd, 2008 at 7:15 pm
I love the bit of sky reflected in the pond. Wonderful–and yes–looks like in the morning it would be a surprise if the barn was “out.”
October 2nd, 2008 at 7:16 pm
What beautiful shots - I assume that’s morning fog. Thanks for popping in to comment on my photo. I love yours and I’ll be back..
October 2nd, 2008 at 7:26 pm
Wonderful to circumnavigate around where you live through photos. I love those shots in the mist. I know, I’m crazy that way. But, the one above the barn reminds me of my family place.
October 2nd, 2008 at 7:42 pm
All really beautiful. The fog photos are my favorite!
October 2nd, 2008 at 7:54 pm
Love that barn shot!
October 2nd, 2008 at 7:59 pm
I love the way the sky looks over your barn and also interesting to see the one over the field right after wards. I love fog so your foggy morning skies look good to me but the sunset is also beautiful. Great sequence of shots.
October 2nd, 2008 at 8:20 pm
Lovely shots, especially the fog; such a feeling of mystery! Love it!
October 2nd, 2008 at 8:43 pm
Love all your commentary to go with your beautiful photos. The misty ones look so peaceful. All the scenery looks peaceful.
October 2nd, 2008 at 8:46 pm
I’m liking those foggy shots. I’d like to walk real slow through that fog right now, but only if it’s cool. Hike my collar up and all.
Thanks for your kind words over at my place. The milk is appreciated.
October 2nd, 2008 at 8:52 pm
Two times the pond charm! Wonderful, though hard to make out a favorite. The mist is so cool!
Cheers, Klaus
October 2nd, 2008 at 9:44 pm
I really like the foggy sunrises! The pond shot is always a winner though.
October 2nd, 2008 at 9:45 pm
Thanks for visiting my blog and your photos are exquisite! Absolutely beautiful and I love the one with blues and pinks and the fog!
October 2nd, 2008 at 10:20 pm
fantastic I feel like I am there
enjoying it all with you
Hugs Laura
October 2nd, 2008 at 10:40 pm
My favorites are the ones with the fog. Nice.
October 2nd, 2008 at 11:21 pm
I love the sky over the barn and hay bales, and the foggy mornings,(something about fog makes me feel alone with nature), the pond,,,heck, I love em all!
October 3rd, 2008 at 12:41 am
hi D, they are beautiful set of photos. it makes me wish to be there and experience the moment. i like them all but the one at the bottom get more votes from me.
October 3rd, 2008 at 12:56 am
Wow! You’ve got a beautiful place!! How I wish I could live in wide, open places like that.. much more peaceful than the city.
By the way, thanks for leaving a comment about my post on Third Culture Kids. I would love to read a post from you on that topic - from someone who’s a TCK herself. Please let me know once it’s up okay? :)Thanks!
October 3rd, 2008 at 1:07 am
Great pictures! And what a nice aerea you live.
October 3rd, 2008 at 1:09 am
3 things I love.. barns, clouds and bales or rolls of hay.
October 3rd, 2008 at 1:29 am
Beautiful shots. The foggy one has a lovely mysterious feel to it.
October 3rd, 2008 at 1:56 am
Beautiful photos - especially the last one. Thank you very much for your visit
October 3rd, 2008 at 2:07 am
beautiful set of pics!
October 3rd, 2008 at 2:34 am
One of these days someone is going to say ‘ a sky is a sky, seen one…etc’. You take a good picture and write a dream.
Cool site.
October 3rd, 2008 at 2:36 am
Farm country is a good place for SWF.
Thanks for sharing it view with us.
Have a nice weekend.
October 3rd, 2008 at 2:51 am
Great fog !
Looks like you have some cold mornings !
October 3rd, 2008 at 3:00 am
Beautiful photo essay, and even though there’s no sun visible in the morning mist, the images are terrific!
October 3rd, 2008 at 3:09 am
Very nice SkyWatch series. Thanks for showing us around.
October 3rd, 2008 at 4:38 am
Beautiful shots! I would love to be there when the fog came!
Have a nice weekend:)
October 3rd, 2008 at 7:18 am
Wonderful SkyWatch pics. I do love the fog though, even though the pond picture is amazing. You have so many different views:)
October 3rd, 2008 at 8:43 am
I so love rural landscapes! And when they are all misty, they are just magic! Beautiful pics!
October 3rd, 2008 at 8:54 am
What a beautiful view, I love peaceful and beautiful environment…
October 3rd, 2008 at 11:30 am
Fortunately, each of us, Sky Watchers, has the oppotunity to see many sunrises in one day, even those that are impossible to watch under normal circumstances.
What one do you prefer ? Misty one or colorful. It depends on our mood.
October 3rd, 2008 at 12:46 pm
All the shots are great especially the ones with the fog, but my true love is barns, so really enjoyed that one! Great SWF series!
October 3rd, 2008 at 12:58 pm
Excellent photos. I esp. liked the foggy ones! Happy SWF
October 3rd, 2008 at 12:59 pm
How wonderful series! My favourite is the first one.
Have a nice weekend.
October 3rd, 2008 at 1:00 pm
Forgot the link….
October 3rd, 2008 at 1:39 pm
Beautiful shots, all of them. I particularly like the fog. It’s foggy here this time of year, too, so that means the same thing for me as for you: I have to settle for sunsets.
October 3rd, 2008 at 1:46 pm
Oh, all pictures are great, nice sky watch.
October 3rd, 2008 at 2:35 pm
Wonderful pictures.
I love that old barn with the hay rolls.
October 3rd, 2008 at 3:10 pm
Great pictures, FarmChick! I really like the barn shot — beautiful sky over a barn that’s full of character. But I love the misty morning shot looking toward the pond. Wonderful!
October 3rd, 2008 at 3:13 pm
Love that pond shot!
the hay is pretty cool too.
; )
October 3rd, 2008 at 4:16 pm
They are all really nice shots, but I do like the barn the best!
October 3rd, 2008 at 4:42 pm
Beautiful countryside, but I’m surprised you’re not up to see the sunrise. Isn’t that required on farms?
October 3rd, 2008 at 5:08 pm
The sky photos are pretty, love the last one. I love the chicken pictures too. Some chickens grow up to be beautiful. I wish I could have a couple of chickens, but we can’t in our neighborhood.
October 3rd, 2008 at 5:09 pm
wonderful scenic shots and skies
October 3rd, 2008 at 8:26 pm
Love the photos! The fog ones are my favorites.
October 3rd, 2008 at 8:33 pm
Those fog shots are the best!
October 4th, 2008 at 6:35 pm
Great set of country photos. I bet you always have something different to take.
October 4th, 2008 at 10:21 pm
Your photos are brilliant, all a joy to look at.
