Watching the Skies Over the Ohio River
These two photos were taken during a Sunday drive almost two weeks ago. There had been lots of rain so the river is quite high. I am standing on the West Virginia side of the river looking across into the state of Ohio. If you enlarge the first one and look closely you can see a tugboat on the right side of the photo just "Rolling on the River." Despite the dark clouds there was no rain on this day. I sat by the river for a good little while and enjoyed the sun and the breeze and watching the sky! For more Skywatch participants please visit Tom at Welcome to Wiggers World. From The Ground Up - Day Six
This photo was taken for a photo challenge hosted by Jeremiah of My World In Pictures! The theme is From The Ground Up. I took this Memorial Day outside the restaurant where I had dinner. It actually fits both categories I'm posting for today; but I have so many sky photos to share I decided to post all of these!

I wish I could take a very long walk watching so peaceful and relaxing landscape!
I saw that bridge not long ago and was even on it. So from the Ohio side looking over at my mom's West Virginia, I can say this is a nice river to cross from time to time.
Ah, first ... I was first! Yupppieee ...
Perfect song for perfect photographs! I want to join you in a walk sometime.
oh this is beautiful. Love the photos!

AH, the river and the sky. Wonderful photos of that area along the Ohio.

Simply wonderful these photos, very beautiful. Congratulations
Nice shots. You've been getting some exciting weather out your way.
Ah, great photos but I found myself listening to the music first before I could get myself to actually write the comment out! Heh.... too bad they couldn't continue the music while still writing the comment!! LOL
Rocky Mountain Retreat
Super shots.
Pop and see my Water features
Three beautiful photos and more CCR!! What a day!
I love how you're always on the lookout. And how nice you got to sit and take it all in. And then we all get to reap the rewards by viewing here!
beautiful photos with stunning colors
The wather in the river was so very brown..., is it the rain ?
But nice shots...
Nice weekend to you, from Anne in the middle of Norway.
Lovely! :)
Thanks for your comments on last week's Sky Watch.
Carletta, beautiful shots out toward the river. I'm reading a book called The River Queen by mary Morris. It's about her father and her trip down the northern Mississippi... :D
These are wonderful views of a part of a country I have never seen in person. Thanks for the lovely tour!
Wonderful shots. I like them all:)
The Ohio looks very high indeed and a bit muddy too. Funny, when I think of West Virgina I think of hills and mountains, not walkways beside a major river. You've opened my eyes!
CCR. You can't beat that. I love rivers. You did a nice job with the sky over the river.
Beautiful fluffy white clouds. Wonderful
Good photo and colors.
What a peaceful and inspiring river!
The colors are amazing.
They are all nice shots! My favorite is the one with the bridge.
Enjoyed the river pictures. Very pretty area.
I love the last picture it's really very very good and beautiful !
River pictures always make me think of my childhood in Germany I lived in Bonn which was at the Rhine.
A lot of rivers are high and muddy right now but it's still wonderful to walk by them and enjoy the scenery. Lovely photos again Carletta.
CCR rocks! So do your pictures. I love the last one, it makes me dizzy to look up like that. So looking at your "from the ground up" is much nicer.
Nice Sky Watch captures!
Have a great weekend!
Nice shots! The river really IS rolling!
What a wonderful place. Great sky.
Wonderful photos!
a very wonderful set for swf. also a wonderful song
Yes, I'd also love to take a walk by the river...it's so beautiful Carletta...even with a dark cloud!
I'm not in the dirt yet, but I did look up LOL!
As ususal....more beautiful shots!
ACK! You got it BEFORE me! I have been eyeballing the lights at our local shopping center -- I was going to use them in a sky watch.... dang it!
That Ohio River is a miiiiiiiighty inviting place to stroll...
Lovely views, but I couldn't enlarge the first photo to see the Tug Boat.
i love the river shots... actually, i love being in the vicinity of water any time as long as it doesn't pour from the sky.
love the sky in all the photos.
Love to take a short jog by the river and round the bend.
Whoa... deja vu! That second pic looks a lot like a view I saw in Louisville, Kentucky around two weeks ago. We were crossing the Ohio River from Indiana into Kentucky. I didn't take that particular shot, but others that were somewhat similar. It was crazy... I DID take the pictures WHILE driving, but on full automatic, not being careful about aiming, and surprisingly, some of them came out semi-decent (after cropping & straightening).
That first shot looks so much like England.

Thanks for stopping by yesterday to welcome me to blogland. Really like the pictures of the river and the song, too. You have figured this out really well....it is taking me a while to sort out all the parts and mine may get more interesting soon.
great sky watch
