These shots were taken in April and May 2009, when the sun moved much further left and I had my markers (specific trees .. neighbor's trees .. but I don't think they have caught on to me using them ?) to measure up my focus catching the sun smiling at me or to its self ?
This is April 09
The sky can be so amazing with muted colours
See "my" pine tree to the left ?
This sky was heralding a major sun affect .. it lead to me becoming far more intense with sky shots ..
I was so grateful to have a new camera then , with a 26 x optical zoom .. I love my Olympus for showing me what I could see when we were in sync !
Drifting further into late April .. to early May
I leave these pictures with a remanence of where I shoot from to make sure it has the distinction of being mine .. but I suppose if some one is determined enough .. well you can guess what I am thinking about pictures going astray ?
I can't wait for these skies again : )

I remember those - Thanks for the memories! :) As pretty as ever.
Those are beautiful! I love the sun and moon shots. Tomorrow is a full moon! I will be ready with the camera incase we get a clearing! Its cloudy here now so who knows! Sun keeps peeking through though! I was hoping to get a shot of the mountain with sun shining down but didn't happen.
What an interesting series of shots. Can you see the Wolf Moon tonight?? It is too cloudy here. A winter storm is blowing through.
Great sky paintings Joy! Pretty magical time sunrise... like so many wonders it fades so quickly... good that we can be up to be witnesses! A great way to honor a new day. Your photographs are all stunning... I love the effect with the black etched trees and how the sun plays with them. ;>)
These are so great, Joy (and thanks for the link love!). I have to confess I rarely see sunrises, because I go to bed so late, and when I get to sleep, Lowell leaves me to sleep undisturbed unless I have an early appointment. We'll get there, weatherwise, one of these days. Today we're being clobbered royally by a honking big storm, featuring galeforce winds. But that's okay. It's late January, not April, so I won't moan about it. Much. :-)
Hi Barbee' Thanks girl ! .. I really have to take them off my lap top soon to save to a CD because room is valuable with a smallish memory here .. but it is hard to do ? LOL
Cindee I saw it last night and I was floored ! .. I ran around like that "chicken story" ? trying to adjust the camera to night mode .. well, you would have laughed at me .. today/evening I know where to look and how soon to look and I will be ready for it damn it !!LOL
Lisa girl I was just telling Cindee I saw that fabulous MOON !! I want a better shot at it tonight so I am writing myself a note and being ready this time .. it was outstanding : ) Hope you get to see it too !!
Thank you Carol : ).. I have a separate folder with just the sky and cloud shots and I am overwhelmed with how many I have .. I love those shots and it does move so quickly it is almost impossible to get the "perfect" shot .. I get so excited ? haha
Like a kid seeing a Christmas tree first time ?
Jodi .. I understand about how precious it is to get sleep .. I have been able to keep the morning side of me (the only time of the day I can almost function surprisingly enough .. after 12 noon .. not so much ? LOL) each of us struggles to get quality sleep when ever we can;-) That storm was here two days ago and it was a doozy ! good luck with it and time is truly moving quickly : )
Yikes its cold there! I just saw your weather thing and it says -23 degrees! So that is like -9 here. I hope you have a warm blanket(-:
I love your sunrise pictures! :D
I never got see enough sunrises or sunsets when I lived in the city, because there were always too many buildings in the way. Now that I live in the country, I can see what I was missing lol.
Joy, if they (I don't know who exactly,someone!)will find your blog in 3010, they will think that we worshiped sun! Gorgeous pictures!
Cindee girl it is a bit chilly here I have to admit ;-) and I have two cats with a blanket so I am getting the heat ? LOL
Kyna I am so grateful to see a reasonable horizon with the sunrises .. sunsets are blocked off by houses .. but there have been amazing skies here and I am loving all of what I can see : )
I'm glad you were able to move and see beautiful skies too !
Tatyana .. so many times I have wondered , "what if these pictures are seen by "others" and they wonder what all the fuss was about ? It is fun to think that might happen ?? isn't it ? ;-)
Wow, look at those gorgeous skies! I love your moon photos, too.
Thanks for your comments on my kitchen posts. I am so excited for the kitchen to be done, and for spring to get here!
Hi Sue and thank you !
Those are two great things to look forward to : ) .. we love the "after" of a remodle even though we get stressed with the "during" ? LOL
And Spring ... come on over ? : )
