Skywatch Friday

Last Sunday morning I headed west on I-80 to do a little Sandhill Crane watching. Before I left the house, I checked the weather and it showed a little patch of rain between home and my intended destination. I was baffled as there was no rain forecast, but what can you say? It's Nebraska.

Sure enough, I hit the patch of rain. Just as I came out of the rain, I looked back and decided to get off the interstate. Headed down a side road and here is what I captured

After I flipped a u-turn and headed back to the interstate I captured this photo showing blue skies with puffy clouds

This photograph was taken in November near Salt Plains NWR in Oklahoma.

Abandoned houses always fascinate me. I can’t help but wonder why someone, anyone, would abandon a home, especially one that looks like it was a nice home at one time.

I love the fluffy white clouds in this photo.

In late September I spent a week in the Duluth, Minnesota area. I had never been there before. I thoroughly enjoyed myself, though I felt like I only saw a small portion of the things that there were to see and do.

These photos were taken from the North Shore Scenic Drive overlooking part of the harbor of Duluth and looking towards Superior, Wisconsin. The lighthouses in the first picture are the Duluth Harbor North Breakwater & Duluth Harbor South Breakwater Outer Lighthouses, respectively.

Phew, the cards and packages are mailed. I can now hunker down for the predicted bad weather and not worry about Christmas.

Thunder storms are common in the Nebraska Sandhills. The thunder clouds in these two photos resulted in pretty good storms.
