Sky Watch - Post 91


October 23 Sky

East, West and South skies here are mostly overcast today, but I did find a spot of blue looking across the street to the Northwest. We're in for some rain later this evening, I believe. It hasn't been cold enough, yet, for the leaves to show much change in color; here in central Arkansas they're still mostly green. I did spot a branch of dogwood in the back garden next door that had some beautiful color and got a photo, but no sky was showing, so that's a post for another time.

Sky Watch was created by Dot and is now brought to you by our friends Imac, Klaus, Sandy, Fishing Guy, Wren, and Tom. Visit the Sky Watch Friday home page anytime after 7:30 p.m. Greenwich Mean Time on Thursdays to see sky photos from around the world. You'll be glad you did.

  4. I was in SW Missouri 1-1/2 weeks ago, and the trees looked about like yours do now. They were hoping for frost to add some color, but don't know if they got it yet. We got our first last night.

    I like your little patch of blue.

  9. I like this picture and how you tell that you looked for a spot of blue. Over here our native trees are also still green or slighty coloring and our americans (such as the Northern red oak) already have lost all their leaves. Have a nice SWF and weekend !

  10. Hi Pat thanks for your visit. Your photo is lovely and shows real autumn weather! I got the idea of "This too will pass.." from Dina in Jerusalem. It's good to know that bad things will pass.

  33. Very pretty... Because we don't have many trees left, we don't get to see the pretty fall colors until we go out of town... my favorite time of year, btw!

    Thanks for visiting Prairie Visions!

  34. Oh my it's really very pretty. I am in Oklahoma so we don't get a real dramatic change at all.

    I love the blue sky and also just the hint of a little fall color.

    It's very lovely.

    My #3 SWF is here.

  36. Watching the trees change colour at this time of year is a wonderful pastime. Seasons come and go as do pretty skies, always something to look forwad to in mother nature's ever changing display.

    Thanks for sharing your view of the sky and your kind comments on my post earlier.
