Skywatch at Daybreak

 It's been awhile since I caught the morning sunrise. It was a spectacular one.

Joining in with Skywatch Friday. Thank you for dropping by! 

Skywatch Friday

Hello friends and fellow bloggers,

It's another rainy day here in Vancouver but sun is in the forecast over the next few days.

I hope the weather is good where you are and that the sky keeps you entertained.

Here are a few photos from the past two days.

Thanks for stopping by my Skywatch Friday post.  Enjoy your weekend.

Spring has Sprung - Skywatch Friday

We've had some beautiful spring days this past week. I spent some time gazing at the sky through the blossoming branches.

How is the weather where you are?

Thank you for stopping by my Skywatch Friday Post for this week.

 

The Trees Are Blooming

Hello friends and fellow bloggers,

I've been super busy this week so I haven't had time to get out and about. These have photos were taken from my balcony in early evening.

This week nature gifted us with tree blossoms. It hasn't been too warm but still the blossoms came out almost overnight

These macro photos were taken the day after when I went out for errands.

It's still chilly especially during the evening.  During such weather I always love to see the twinkling night lights of the ski slope in the distance. They look so pretty.

Thank you for stopping by to see what I've posted for Skywatch Friday this week.

A Gorgeous Day

Hello friends and fellow bloggers,

Here in my part of the world we will soon transition to Spring and planting season or growing season.  While I'm not so much into planning, I absolutely do love all the new growth, greenery and colour that will be in abundance.

I took these photos on Thursday for Skywatch Friday.  

It was a glorious, sunny day and a harbinger of better days to come though we're going to get a lot of rain, maybe even some snow this weekend.  We need it for our water table.

Happy Friday to each of you. Thank you for visiting my blog.

Skywatch Friday - February 21, 2025

Hello friends and fellow bloggers,

Thank you for joining my submission to this week's Skywatch Friday. 

We've returned to rain which has melted all the snow and warmed temperatures considerably. I couldn't be happier.

You can see from the photos that the clouds look pretty dramatic this week so a lot more rain is on the way. 

Take care and stay safe.

Baby It's Cold Outside - Skywatch Friday

Hello friends and fellow bloggers,

We're at the tail end of our winter snow and very cold temperatures if we can believe the weather forecast.

I had to go out yesterday and today to deal with a malfunctioning cell phone. I bundled up as if I was in minus 40 degree weather with long johns and double layers on top, winter books, a neck scarf and gloves. My upper legs and toes were still very cold. I'll chalk it up to poor circulation because I'm usually always cold some people aren't bothered by the weather at all. 

In fact, I saw 3 people out yesterday with bare legs and improper footwear. One person didn't even have a winter jacket on. Today I saw 2 more people who weren't adequately dressed but today felt much warmer than yesterday.

I'm looking forward to rain this weekend because it will bring warmer temperatures.  Right now, the temperature is 1 Celsius and the day's high was 3 Celsius. Last night someone told me we broke a weather record for the day at - 6 Celsius. I tell you it felt much, much colder. Probably because we have damp air.

The above photos were all taken on a walk to the cellular service provider.

Today I took one photo on West Broadway Street looking north towards downtown. You can see some towers in the background.  These are part of a massive rental development project led by the local area First Nations. Once completed there will be new homes for 6000 people and they are sorely needed.

Evening Sky ~ Last Friday Sky of January 2025

Hello friends and fellow bloggers,

Welcome to my Skywatch Friday post. I snapped these photos on my way to buy some produce at some of the smaller shops in another neighbourhood.

It was going on 5:30 p.m.  It's so great to see that it isn't dark so early anymore. Each day the light remains for just a bit longer and soon it will be spring and time for planting.

Enjoy your weekend and thank you for stopping by!

October Marches On & Gives Me a Beautiful Gift

Hi friends and fellow bloggers,

I hope you are well today.

October gives us a mixed bag of weather. We've had some spectacular, sunny days and clear blue skies and we've also had days where it pours like cats and dogs. The particular day I snapped these sky photos for you, we had a brief spell of pouring rain. 

I had gone to the post office to check mail. Imagine my surprise when I came outside to see the rainbow.  Initially I thought it was just the very faint rainbow I saw near the church steeple but when I turned my head, I was amazed to see a full rainbow arc and it was a beautiful sight.

 

I hope you enjoyed the rainbow as much as I did! 

I'm joining in with Skywatch Friday this week. Thank you for your visit.

Moody Sky ~ Skywatch Friday

Hello friends and fellow bloggers,

Happy Friday to you. I hope you all had a great week. I'm keeping my submission to Skywatch Friday very brief and only one, moody photo today.
 

It's a long weekend in my world. I'm going to relax with a family member.

Have a wonderful weekend and I hope to see you back here again real soon.
