My Sky Watch Friday

This sky happened a few mornings ago and it was simply amazing.
The pictures only show half the drama as I watched it ..
The texture and colour of the clouds were contrasted by the stark black tree branches and it was perfect !


I had to enlarge these two pictures so you could really see the impact of the almost delicate jet trail when compared to the huge sky and these beautiful clouds .. the other pictures will enlarge if you click on them too .. but these were my favourite ones .. like a shooting star in the fantastic sky : )

Too soon the show was over .. but I wanted to show you the "big" picture of how I shot this over my neighbor's roof ... I think they must wonder ? what I see all the time while I have my camera pointed at them .. er ? .. their roofs ?
There is the final shot of the show .. to give you perspective of how I zoom in to catch the details.
The reason I don't join the official Skywatch Friday is because you are not supposed to post any commentary (according to the rules I have read) .. I can't "not" say anything .. so this is my little
"Sky Watch Friday"  wink wink

You couldn't even see our sky this morning. The area was covered with fog. Happy SWF.

Yes, I can hear them complaining to each other..."honey, there she is AGAIN!!! with that camera."

"What does she think, she's going to catch us in our PJ's"

Oooooo, terrific shots Joy! I always shoot above roofs. The bain of living in the suburbs!
I didn't see anywhere in the Skywatch Friday rules that you can't post any commentary. I am always babbling on and so is everyone else!

Joy,

We have not gotten any snow yet but supposedly it is coming on Sunday. It was 57 degrees today so I kept cleaning up the garden, cutting some roses, lilies, putting up Christmas decor and lights. That sky certainly looks menacing!

I never feel we get those dramatic skies, but lately there has been some with storm clouds like you photographed so nicely. Today we had a pretty pink sunset, but I did not stop to capture it. Love that sky you did get.

Jen girl hello there : )
I swear they must wonder ? about me ? or maybe they do anyways ? LOL
One neighbor is up at 5 like I am but he has to go to work where as I stay in my pjs and shuffle around with coffee in hand ? ;-)

Karen girl I swear I read it in the rules some where and not being able to use any other keys than normal letters or something strange .. it just threw me off a bit. Yes shooting above roofs .. sounds like a movie to me ? LOL
