2024 Weekend Sky: 11.16 — Early Dawn Sky

These Early Dawn photos were taken on Wednesday morning while waiting for Coleman’s school bus to arrive.

These are from this morning from our backyard. Coleman noticed the “moon” from the window and had to show me.

Our view of the Skyline often changes from day to day; moment to moment; and even minute to minute. It can be beautiful clear blue skies one minute and a few hours, minutes, or seconds later you might encounter hazy grey skies or dark cloudy skies with an amazing view of the sun rising into the Sky.

Our Beautiful View from the Porch

We recently moved and our new to us rental home has a swing on the front porch which Coleman claims is his swing. We haven’t had a swing on a porch since we lived with my uncle years ago. The beautiful views from our front porch are amazingly beautiful (even the view that is not of the sky).

A Bird’s Eye View — Judy’s Numbers Game #40

Judy’s The Numbers Game #40 is this week and this week’s number is 161. To play along, go to your photos file and type that number into the search bar. Then post a selection of the photos you find under that number and include a link to your blog in my Numbers Game blog of the day. If instead of numbers, you have changed the identifiers of all your photos into words, pick a word or words to use instead, and show us a variety of photos that contain that word in the title.

This week in lieu of trying to find 161 in my photos, I have chosen a theme (instead of a single word) of A Bird’s Eye View. These were all taken by my dad from an airplane ✈️ in 1979 while flying back to San Diego from Germany.

2024 Weekend Sky #131: 09.16 — Rain ☔️ Rain 🌧️ Go Away

Not exactly a normal weekend, however, Monday’s are my daughter’s only day off, so it is her “weekend.” This was our view or perhaps lack of visibility yesterday while she was driving us home.

While rain is needed for plants to grow and the sustainability of earth and the world we live in, it also has its downsides. It isn’t pleasant to walk a child to and from school in the rain, but I do what I must. It isn’t easy to drive in a downpour with nearly zero visibility ( I’m glad I wasn’t driving). It isn’t easy keeping a child indoors when all he was to do is run, jump, climb, and play outdoors. Sometimes life isn’t easy, but we endure and carry on.

2024 Weekend Sky: Rainbow 🌈 from Years Past

A Rainbow burgeoning across the sky captured many years ago by my dad as we were traveling to parts unknown (at least to me nowadays) somewhere in the USA.

I reconstructed my dad’s slides by Digitizing them via a Wolverine Titan 8-in-1 High Resolution Digital Converter renewing them for viewing for years to come.
