SkyWatch Friday/Weekend Reflections

Posted by Lorac Thursday 27 May 2010

The skies have been lovely here. Mostly sunny, some cloud  and hot! 31Celsius yesterday! Everything is a vibrant green, nature is flourishing for now. The thought is though, we are going to have a very hot summer with little rain. There is plenty of blue above and green below at Luther Lake.


I love to look at the sky reflected on the water surface. It gives us another world to see, one for the imagination.

SkyWatch from Your Skywatch Team: Klaus, Sandy, Wren ,Fishing Guy,Sylvia, great hosts with many wonderful posts. Weekend Reflections  is hosted by James at Newtown Area Photo.

  12. Nice photos for Sky Watch Friday and all the nicer for your addition of a beaver, they are a unique little animal. Saw on the news a few weeks ago that up north the beavers had constructed a huge dam that could be seen for space, now that would be really cool to see.

  34. I have NEVER seen a beaver, that I can remember, in the wild! How fun it would be to see this guy and have a camera too. He is the perfect reflection of the world you live in. What a gorgeous stretch of land, water and sky!

     
  35. I was especially intrigued with the photo of the Canadian beaver! What a catch! And your other reflection photos are wonderful, too--they fill my eyes, which is the greatest compliment I can give.

     
  36. Lorac Says:
  37. Mike, I appreciate your compliment!Thanks!

    Cezar/Leia- Glad you liked the critter! Happy Weekend Reflections too!
