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.

A very beautiful blue indeed! Blue skies in winter here usually mean extreme cold. But they colour sure lifts the spirit!
ReplyDeleteBerry nice skywatch post
ReplyDeleteVery brilliant! I love that colour blue! And it's always very good to add trees in a sky watch photo.
ReplyDeletePat 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.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful true blue.
ReplyDeleteNothing prettier than a pretty blue sky! Lovely, Pat!

ReplyDeleteHi Pat,
ReplyDeleteThe 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,
ReplyDeleteGood 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.
ReplyDeleteNothing better after the cold than beautiful blue skies!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteI love the trees and blue skies. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blue skies, Pat. Glad you didn't have the ice that other areas had. SO SAD!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Betsy

ReplyDeleteNo wonder blue is my favourite colour when we are blessed with skies as blue as these. Keep well and warm.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blue!!! Great skywatch shot. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeletethere is something about the silhouette of a tree against any sky that I am just drawn to. nice job..
ReplyDeleteI 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!!!
ReplyDeleteTwo different shades of blue - how lovely with the filigree effect of the branches.
ReplyDeleteCrystal clear blue skies, nicely composed with the branches framing your photo. Lovely shot.
