Skywatch...waiting for spring
The front porch doesn't see much action in winter, just a quick visit now and then to watch the day end. Sitting there all bundled up against the cold isn't much fun after the first few minutes.
But the days are noticably longer now. The sun is setting a tiny bit more north on the horizon every day. By the time it moves over three more ridges, I'll be sitting on my porch wearing shorts and flip flops, and the only icy cold I'll have to deal with will be the frosty beverage in my hand.
Spring...I can almost taste it.
For more views of the sky at this time of year, check out the links on the Skywatch home page.

Beautiful and I too am celebrating the days of longer daylight. It's been a very long winter...
ReplyDeleteI've been lucky enough to have a couple of days lately that I've been able to sit on my front porch, although bundled, and enjoy myself with a cup of hot coffee ... I do look forward to spring and spending more time there, it's usually my treat after a day of working outdoors.
ReplyDeleteGood capture and that sounds like a plan, I like flip flops and a cold beverage.
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful light! Yes, flip flops and a cold drink sound heavenly just about now. :)
ReplyDeleteFantastic shots, I too am enjoying the longer daylight hours.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful sky. I am so ready for spring.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures and I'm loving your banner too
ReplyDeleteSpring is coming! Great pictures.
ReplyDeleteAhh, the New Mexico light - can't beat it. I'm noticing that it's not pitch black out when I feed the horses in the morning, and dinner time is coming later in the afternoon since it's still light. Don't you love the smell of Spring in the air and that little softness when the wind blows? You're right, you can almost taste it.
ReplyDeleteGlorious images! Wow to sit on your porch and see these images!! I'm passing through your state on route to AZ..love the javalena to the left of the screen! Too cold in my world!

I love the view from your porch. I think I'll take your chilly porch over mine. (in MA) The view was beautifully captured. I like your pack too. Is that a red heeler? I'm part blue.
