Painted Swirls - Sky Watch Friday

Last week I didn't get to join Sky Watch, I was feeling too ill and the computer screen wasn't helping matters.  Caused by a rare migraine attack.

 

All the following pics were taken on Sunday 23rd. October.

Lovely Cirrus paint swirls in the sky.

 such delicate feathery strokes

 I don't know why this one came out this colour

 A funny little grey cloud appears

 My camera has one lense so I covered it with my

 chiffon scarf to take this one of the bright sun.

 Grey evening clouds swirling in

 But the sky is still blue on the other side of the road

 and little clouds are forming

 I love the way the clouds constantly change

Sky Watch Friday - Aerial Antics

The cloudscapes have been so beautiful every day this week, it makes it hard to choose from the dozens of photo's I have taken.  But on the 26th we had a really gorgeous day, after a week or more of stormy weather, a gorgeous blue sky, lots of different types of Cirrus, and the sky became an aerial playground with both commercial traffic and fighter planes.  So this week it is Contrails and Cirrus.

 On the 27th a Microlite appears overhead

 What is wrong with this pic - taken at High Noon on the 28th.

It is the bluest blue sky and CLOUDLESS, almost unheard of here.

My darling hubby suggests those of you with children should

print this one out and let the children decorate it..!

And finally, on the 27th. another beautiful Sunset

Sky Watch Friday - Inconstantia

My chariot

The time for preparing for another Sky Watch seems to have come round again rather quickly, and having had my computer crash two weeks ago has not made life any easier.  I am having to share a computer at the moment, but thankfully I have a flash drive which has been a real help, a lot of my photo's are already on it, and I can download the latest ones to it.  This past week has seen big changes, from blue skies, cirrus and cumulus to black storm clouds and lightning, to dramatic and gorgeous sunsets.  Unfortunately I didn't capture any lightning.  Click to enlarge photo's.

Sky Watch Friday

More beautiful clouds, mainly of the Cirrus varieties, they paint some gorgeous patterns across our skies.  Though the first photo is one my husband took about four years ago, of an oval ring cloud, I don't know if it was the remains of a 'fall streak' or 'hole punch' cloud.

Fallstreak Hole...Maybe?



Cumulus over Asda

Beautiful Cirrus over Swinton

And what happened here! - I caught the sun in the lens and WOW ' Cirrus and Cumulus fractus in glorious technicolour.  Weird, but I rather like it.
