After a scare earlier in the week (Winter Storm Watch) which turned out to give us only a short-lived light ice coating on Monday night/Tuesday morning, we have lots of sunshine today, and not a cloud in the sky! We have much to be thankful for here in central Arkansas when we consider the weather-related trauma occuring in other parts of the U.S., and in other parts of this state. When I looked outside this afternoon, there was not a cloud to be seen anywhere. The blue skies captured by my camera have not been altered in any way. What you see is what we've got.

Just beautiful! You can't ask for bluer skies than that, and I love hte bare trees against the sky.
Wow! The blue is shocking! Amazing, and I am so thrilled that you escaped devastation from the storm.
I'm glad you escaped the ice storm. That sky is such a dazzling blue..
You are lucky with all your blue winter sky. Happy skywatching.
MY my thats Sky is sure blue.... :O)
Thanks for asking about Jane and me... we are both fine... both had slight colds but doing fine.. looking forward to a bit of warmth in the spring.
All the very best
Tom & Jane.
A very beautiful blue indeed! Blue skies in winter here usually mean extreme cold. But they colour sure lifts the spirit!
Berry nice skywatch post
Very brilliant! I love that colour blue! And it's always very good to add trees in a sky watch photo.
Pat wonderful pictures. Even though we got ice believe me when I say we are very thankful it wasn't a repeat from the ice storm of December 2007. Hope you have a wonderful day.
Beautiful true blue.
Nothing prettier than a pretty blue sky! Lovely, Pat!
I love the way winter trees look against a blue sky. These are beautiful shots.
Great photos...wonderful blues!
The blue is beautiful and the trees look like sculptures. Happy SWF!
Hi Pat,
The sky is a pretty blue there! Great pics! Thanks for your comment on my blog. We have had ups and downs in our temps. Just as the snow is melting, we get more.
Is it your son's family that moved to Fremont?
Pat,
Good to see you! I was worried that you might have gotten more ice than you wanted. !!!
That's a very intense blue. Skies that color always lift our spirits.
Nothing better after the cold than beautiful blue skies!
Beautiful shots.
I was worried about you when I read how many people lost power in Arkansas. Glad you're ok.
I think those storm watches are meant to inject drama in January. It's an unwritten weatherman policy. Great, blue photos.
I love the trees and blue skies. Thanks.
Beautiful blue skies, Pat. Glad you didn't have the ice that other areas had. SO SAD!!!!!
Hugs,
Betsy

I loved seeing how beautifully blue the sky was following the storm. Was definitely good for photo shots.
A sky and a tree to be envied!
Lovely blue skies across your horizon, thanks for sharing with us all in Sky Watch Friday and thanks for your kind comments on my blog earlier.
These photos are such a beautiful blue - great captures.
No wonder blue is my favourite colour when we are blessed with skies as blue as these. Keep well and warm.
Beautiful blue!!! Great skywatch shot. Have a great weekend.
there is something about the silhouette of a tree against any sky that I am just drawn to. nice job..
I captured some blue skies too, however, we weren't as lucky - we were hit hard! We're still under ice, but it looks like some of it will be melting today! Thank GOD!!!
Two different shades of blue - how lovely with the filigree effect of the branches.
Crystal clear blue skies, nicely composed with the branches framing your photo. Lovely shot.
That blue is just breathtaking. Great captures. Smiles B
Blue skies & berries. Great!
