SkyWatch Friday

Posted by Lorac Thursday 4 March 2010

Oakville Harbour on an almost spring day. Even though there is little sign of spring on the ground it is in the wind, the water and the sky!

I often walk past this old demised tree bleached by the sun and wind. On this bright sunny day, it really stood out against that gorgeous blue sky!


A very special blog, SkyWatch Friday has skies from all over the world. Go and take a look!

  2. Absolutely beautiful! I love the shoreline. Must be why I return to Cape Breton, Nova Scotia every spring! Isn't there something about those sunbleached tree carcasses that catch your eye? I resist the urge to photograph them again and again when I'm walking the shore. Beautiful SkyWatch photos today. Thanks for sharing, ~karen

     
  3. I love shorelines and trees, so your post held beauty for me today!

  9. I would love to be walking along that shoreline on such a beautiful day! The blue sky really enhances the bleached out tree bark; kind of like our sycamore trees.

  46. Ah, beautiful water--heaven to the eyes of this desert dweller. Thank you for sharing, and for visiting my blog.

     
  47. Looks lovely and peaceful and if I ignore those little splotches of snow, I shall pretend it's the summer and it's about 25 degrees out there!

     
  48. Debra Says:
