SkyWatch Friday: N's Sky

My sister-in-law, who visited recently, took this in a nearby park. Pretty nice, huh?

SkyWatch Friday: 81 North And 66 East

The first three photos were taken along I-81 North in Virginia. Although the route is run amuck with tractor trailers, there’s lots of peaceful countryside to be seen. And such is the case when exiting onto I-66 East…for a while. The closer you get to DC the more traffic you see, and that oncoming lane is sometimes bumper-to-bumper come rush hour.

SkyWatch Friday: Lucy's Tennis Ball

I would’ve never thought of doing this if not for friend Koe, who for a while, was taking these kinds of photos. He threw anything and everything into the air and captured them quite nicely, too. It’s not as easy as it looks. It took many shots, one of which was the ball hitting me in the face, to get a decent one. Oh, and there were nice clouds in the sky, too.

SkyWatch Friday: Where I've Been

The Newington exit off of I-95 near Springfield, Virginia. This route means just one thing—a trip to Costco. While W accompanies Lucy on her hunt for rabbits and deer, I’ll do the shopping and hit all of the sample booths…at least once. :o)

SkyWatch Friday: In The Bike Mirror

I was going for the clouds here, but happened to capture a passing cyclist, too. She’s on the W&OD trail that passes by the old Vienna train station, which is right across the parking lot from here. Following our ride from the station to the town of Herndon and back, we stopped here for a bit before heading home—by way of vehicle, which we hate, but it’s kinda ugly biking out of our neighborhood. I know, wimps. Anyway, the W&OD is pretty flat and free from much traffic, so it’s a nice ride if you like to let your mind wander some. Look out for bolting deer, scampering squirrels and slithering snakes, though. Yikes.

If you’re here for the first time, yeah, I know, it’s only Thursday, but that’s when SkyWatch Friday begins…2:30 pm EDT, to be exact.

Don’t care for sky reflections in bicycle mirrors? Then why not go to SkyWatch Friday and find skies you might like from all over the world. While you’re there, why not leave a link to your own skies so all can enjoy? Many thanks to Klaus, Sandy, Wren, Fishing Guy, Louise and Sylvia for hosting this most ethereal meme!

SkyWatch Friday: Union Station, Washington, DC

This is Union Station in case you need to catch a train or even a bus out of DC. Yeah, there are buses in there! And plenty o’ American flags…just in case you forget what country you’re in. Not that anything would make me question what country I’m in…GOVERNOR BREWER.
