The past couple of weeks we have had snow off and on. It snows, it melts, it snows again. I took this last Sunday. The snow and overcast skies of the previous days gave way to a beautiful crisp and clear day. Yes, the sky was this blue. This photo is straight out of the camera.
This was taken the night before after my daughter called from Virginia and wanted to know if I could see the moon because it was so large. It was right before sunset but the cloud cover was too heavy to see the moon. However, the clouds above the rooftop were very wintery looking.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays Everyone
I'm a little bit jealous, you have gorgeous blue skies, and snow, AND ice to provide you with some stunning pictures!!! Belgium is just dreary and grey right now, yuck!
ReplyDeleteThe bottom one would make a pretty Christmas card!
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful snow captures
ReplyDeleteBlue skies sound nice! The second photo is very beautiful. ;-)
ReplyDeleteYou do have beautiful skies and snow and like Jientje, here in Seattle it is just gray, cold and snowy! But each place has it's own beauty. I do love your photos! Thanks for sharing! and Happy Holidays!
ReplyDeleteThis is just beautiful, Carletta! Happy Holidays to you and your family! :)
ReplyDeleteYes, I love that bright blue. We get that color on a good day. Love the way the tree branches out all over the sky in the top photo.
ReplyDeleteI love taking pictures of the sky through trees. They seem to stand out against the sky when the leaves are gone.
ReplyDeleteThe snow in the dark night looks gorgeous and very christmassy.
ReplyDeleteReally like that second photo. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI love taking pictures of leaf-less trees with spotless blue skies in the background!
ReplyDeleteYou can check out my sky watch posts here and here. Happy weekends!
I am jealous at your view too. I love to be in one of those winter wonderland landscapes.
ReplyDeleteHappy holidays, keep warm.
Both gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures as usual. I hate sunny days because that's when the temperature here drops below zero. Give me some nice warm clouds.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Carletta! I think the sun goes south out of site around here during December, January, and February. :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous shots Carletta! That 2nd one is excellant! I like the effect of the little lighted tree against the dark night.
ReplyDeleteBoth are pretty, but I love the bottom picture! Looks so cold and Christmasy!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful sky through the tree.
ReplyDeleteI was able to see the moon - and it was huge.
Absoluely stunning pictures
ReplyDeleteLovely SWF post.
ReplyDeleteGreat pics. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you as well!
ReplyDelete:-)
Beautiful shots both. Happy Christmas to you too!
ReplyDeleteThat looks so beautiful, you could use them as post cards !!
ReplyDeleteThat tree shot is stunning! The lower one's mood would fit a book for this time of year.
ReplyDelete(I joined the sky watch crowd.)
Truly beautiful photos! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteIt is another drab day here...it has been a while since we have seen skies that color blue!
ReplyDeleteI like that bottom photo--just something about it appeals to me.
Love your snowy scenes!
ReplyDeleteJunie
beautiful sky shots and i just love that tree shot.
ReplyDeletehave a happy holiday.
Both lovely, I always love bare trees.
ReplyDeleteThat bottom card looks very wintery, but I like the cheer of the lighted tree and the promise of a warm house!
ReplyDeleteMarvellous the photographs, impressive the clouds, and the small christmas tree cute and beautiful!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas to you and your family!
Beautiful shots Carletta - love the bottom one with the lit tree :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful skies. I don't know what happened to Thursday, but I completely misplaced it this week. I thought today was Thursday until about 5:00. Oh, well.
ReplyDeleteI love the bottom picture, too. The lit tree looks so nice.
ReplyDeleteTwo very attractive photographs. The first one, with the splendid sky in the background; the second, with that beautiful lighted Christmas tree.
ReplyDeleteCarletta: Very nice SWF with two neat captures.
