Skywatch Friday - Watching the Skies
Alphabet Photo Challenge - W

Last Friday as I sat looking at Skywatch Photos and reading comments I looked off my deck and saw the sight pictured below - a late afternoon daytime moon.
Then, for a week it was pretty much rain, rain, and more rain. Finally this past Sunday it was gorgeous and I couldn't help but Watch the skies.....
...over my house
...over the garage
...off my deck
....through the pergola
and...sunset from the front porch!


You see, we can sit on the deck, the porch, in the gazebo, or walk through the yard and enjoy beautiful skies all around. Happy Skywatching!
In case you missed my previous post I have turkey vultures in the sky. If you have another minute scroll down and see them too!

I love the whispery soft cirrus clouds! You also added the perfect song pick -- I started humming it about three notes before the music actually began to play. It was cool to know we were on the same wave length.

chanpheng said...

The first picture is so beautiful - looks like another planet!

Craver Vii said...

Love 'em! All of them, but especially the first one with the moon. It is a view of the sky one might see less frequently than the others.

Oh, "pergola." So that's what it's called... cool!

Patty said...

Beautiful shots! That sunset is wonderful

Petunia said...

So many nice shots:)
You have done a really good job!
