Skywatch Friday


(click on image to enlarge it)

Enjoy more photos from the other participants of SkyWatch Friday.

This is the northeast View overlooking my back yard this (Thurs) evening.

 
  
This is the northwest view overlooking the front yard.


Yep, a storm finally blew into town several hours later.  Unfortunately, it didn't drop much rain.  I'm bummed about that because I didn't water my garden hoping for good soaking.  We have had a wind advisory all day.  I've actually been chasing stuff all over the yard for 3 days now.  Just one of the joys of living on the prairie land that forgot to stop at the North Dakota border.  We are supposedly getting storms pretty much all day tomorrow (Friday) which will hopefully satisfy my garden's thirst and save my water bill.


Now for a little cuteness factor.  These photos were taken in Sertoma Park in Grand Forks, ND.  I often have lunch and snap photos in this lovely park which also hosts a Japanese Garden celebrating it's former sister city of Awano, Japan.  I posted a few pictures of that during Quilly's Alphabet challenge last May.  You can see them here.
 
 
It's a very peaceful park with a coulee running through it. There are several families that nest in this area.  I often have to climb amongst tall grass and stand upon the muddy bank to get photos.  It is definitely one of those times, I wish I had a better camera. 
Thank you for stopping by for a visit.  It is much appreciated.
