Skywatch Friday AND...
Project Blue. Take Six

What A Difference A Day Makes

Yesterday afternoon on a trip out to the store after hours of rain I thought about the two water tanks in the photo below. Before I could get that far the skies opened up again as you can see in the above photo. The water tanks in the photo below would be on the right side of this photo just out of view.
Today was a much better day! After three inches of rain and rising waters this was a lovely site to see. I am participating in a project called Project Blue so I'm combining that and Skywatch today with the beautiful blue skies and the blue water towers.

    These are all very nice. I guess the towers will stay plenty full for a while!

    It's amazing how much rain was coming down and then such a difference in weather... like night and day. But I love the photo of the raindrops... that's pretty.

    Yes I agree how quickly the sky changes its colors and shades. I liked the first shot with water droplets.

    The sky photos say it all. Light blue to bright blue to gray rain cloud blue. Fortunately the blue water towers can hold a lot of rain water.

    I like the fire pit too. I've always wanted one and a blue mosaic rim would be just perfect.

    I'm normally not a fan of the rain. But this first image makes me reconsider. There is something soothing and relaxing about it. I keep coming back to look at it.

    Regarding my comment earlier, I sure hope I didn't vent too much. I reread it and think I could have said it differently. I did not mean to put you in a defensive position at all. I think you understand I meant nothing mean spirited. I probably should not have vented on your space here.

    Cheers,

    What a neat photo on the top. I look at that and it seems like I'm sitting there with you! Yes, I love barns just like Rose! Both of us have always loved photography and love to take pictures of barns. Every time I'm out driving anywhere I look for barns but seems like everytime I see one that I want to take a picture of someone's always on my bumper in a hurry. :)

    Now THAT wasn't the song I was expecting with your title! LOL! I love the rainy stormy shot! That is such a "me" shot! I was photographing water towers this week too -- but haven't decided if I want to use it for Sky Watch or hold out for a different color! We'll seeee!
