SkyWatch Friday


This is my front tree, with snowflakes dancing around, early in the morning, 12/16, the day all of the following pics were taken.


I took my camera to work, and here is a pic of the front walk and parking lot, with the snow shovelers hard at it.


What a difference in the look of the view of the capitol, compared with last week!



Next is a view from Larry's truck on the way home.  We both work at the same school, but we have different hours, so don't always ride together.  This is a block from where we live.  You can see the cemetery across the street on the right side of the pic with the lovely large evergreen trees.  We also live 2 blocks from a TV station, and the broadcast tower shows in the photo. There is also a radio station a few blocks away, and its broadcast tower is also seen here.


Happy Skywatch, and click on the icon in my sidebar to get to the main page, list of the people who manage this awesome event, and those participating this week.

  1. I like your night shot of the snow. I have been unsuccessful in getting a good one even though we have had 60 cm of snow in Nov-Dec this year. You have a very nice blog.

  4. I enjoyed your SWF photos very much. I'm glad to see what it looks like up there in NE at present. My daughter and her husband have just bought a home in Fremont, NE, but will not occupy until after the 1st of the year. I think I'll put off my first visit until about July. Is the snow all gone by then? LOL

  11. Thanks for sharing your lovely collection of photos with everyone in Sky Watch Friday. Some how the world looks a little more peaceful and quiet to me with a dusting of snow. Thanks for your kind comments on my post earlier.

  12. Snow at Christmas time looks magic. The tree in front of your house looks beautiful any time of the year, it is a great asset. The snowflakes look like little stars dancing around the tree. A very beautiful SW. I wish you a very happy Christmas.

  16. Thanks for the wonderful comments, everyone. Either they came after I made comments on your blog, or else I clicked on your name and made comments on yours, so I won't address them individually here.

    We did get more snow, and school was canceled for today. I haven't listened to the news yet, but after looking outside, it must be due to the roads being slick, rather than the amount of snow we got.

    Happy SWF!

  22. Sue, great snow shot! It’s not just the snowflakes that are dancing, your tree is too.

  23. It looks like we got a similar amount of snow here in coastal WA State. I like your first photo a lot. I like how the snow reflects like stars when the flash reflects off of them. I think its beautiful.

  24. I love the first shot. It looks like stars decorating your barren tree and the second one looks as if the sky has descended on earth! Awesome pictures

  27. Thanks for all the comments. I enjoyed reading them. I love SkyWatch, even though I don't make it to all the posts. I have mine for Friday ready to go, unless I see something else and change my mind.

    Happy New Year!
