I went to sleep last night wondering what I'd do about a Skywatch post this week, but Mother Nature came through for me again. I took these pictures around 6:15 this morning, as the sun was rising, the moon was setting, and the cows were snickering in the distance. They get such a chuckle when they see me in my pajamas and slippers. Click on the pictures for a better view (of the sky, not of me in my pajamas), and go to the Skywatch home page for views of the sky from around the world.
Gorgeous, Linda. These skies make getting out of bed in the AM worthwhile.
ReplyDeleteLooks like there were several of us who had to post today's photos. Yours turned out beautifully! Lovely shots - all of them.
ReplyDeleteOMG! The first one is breathtaking and the last one is another fave too!~

Wonderful how Mother Nature came to the rescue. She sure put on a great show!

ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect pair of skies, the beginning and the end of the day. Love the hazy moon!

Oh my!!! I am jealous of your beautiful Southwestern skies, ours rarely look that colorful in the Midwest. I am skywatching vicariously through you. :-)
ReplyDeleteNothing can beat the Southwestern skies! Those are some stunning shots, almost as good as seeing them in person. The cows were probably just jealous of your pajamas, they grew out of theirs and never got replacements.:)
ReplyDelete7msn: You were really given a sky gift, how wonderful.
ReplyDeleteSo far, I have been seeing wonderful colorful early morning skies. I think that's the prevailing theme of the week.
