Skies of the Vermilon River. A Post to Skywatch Season 4, Episode 28.
Sunset
Early Moon
Blue Sky
We've been having some clear days lately. But the temperature with wind chill has been -33 C. Nevertheless the days have been longer, and the days are bright.
I meant to add something and forgot. A Gibbous Moon is a moon that is greater than half and less than full. A waxing Gibbous moon is between a quarter and full.And a waning Gibbous moon is greater than half but hasn't yet reached the last quarter.Makes sense doesn't it? Gary & Boom.
Incredible cold, I know, Gary. Things have warmed up to 0 (Celsius) here, but can plunge to -30 before spring is here. You're right, though, it's nice to see the days getting longer. Lovely photos. Thanks! -- K

oh, it's cold here too, but it IS winter, and yes the days are getting a bit longer. your skies are gorgeous. man, I love that first one - it's divine. and your doggie is a real cutie patootie.
When the weather is clear and sunny, temperature drops during winter... I understand that but -33 C with wind chill is too low to me... Moon photo is gorgeous and I love it. Please take care and have a wonderful weekend. Yoshi
Stormy sky there. Great. I like those best.

ReplyDeleteIsn't it nice to see a blue sky occasionally. We had a nice day Wednesday and I got some good bird shots.
Love the frosty pics in the previous post.
Rain and more rain today. MB
Thanks Jen. Again sheer luck.
ReplyDeleteThanks SCS. The supersaturated air makes it even colder in a damp way.
