I've seen SKYWATCH FRIDAY everywhere but never participated since I feel I take really crappy sky pictures.
Until this one. I like this one LOL
This was taken late Saturday afternoon. I was looking across Raritan Bay and watching the clouds gather and merge and break apart.
I've learned that the waters of Raritan Bay are considered to be part Monmouth County, NJ and part Queens County, NY. As a Brooklyn girl now living in NJ I think that's cool.
Welcome to Sky Watch. You have made an impression, this is an amazing photo. I love your cloud coverage. Happy SWF.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a classic 'Trade Winds' sky - quite lovely.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to pack.
I have an odd fixation about clouds. I am fascinated by them. Nice Picture. Cheers Di!!
ReplyDeletevery nice clouds....Cheers also.
ReplyDeleteReally good image. I like it a lot.
ReplyDeleteWow. The clouds look edible. Is that an odd thing to say? Well they do.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty and serene. I love all the blue.
ReplyDeletesuzanne - thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteaileni - I'm going to look up Trade Winds sky - actually I'm going to check out more about clouds - I used to know a lot in high school but that was 100 years ago.
matt-man - me too! I love how they change shape.
thank you genny!
jood - thanks so much, it took me a bit to think it was good enough to post. such ridiculous issues lol
knight - not odd at all and yet one more of our strange links - my son and I would watch clouds from the apt. building roof and he always compared them to food :)
fermicat - thanks! it was such a lovely day!
That's a very pretty shot for your SWF debut! (And I don't care what Jay Leno says, NJ rocks!)
ReplyDeleteWelcome to Sky Watch! You picked a beautiful picture to start with. I do love clouds! as you can tell be the fact that I keep putting up pictures of them. Took more today, as a matter of fact.
ReplyDeletePretty neat about Raritan Bay being in two states. - Like the Statue of Liberty being claimed by both.
Great picture. Those clouds look so low in the sky. Like maybe if you jumped high enough you could grab one and pull it down.
ReplyDeleteyour photos are always good ... interesting and involving ... and I am glad you joined Sky Watch!
ReplyDelete:-Daryl
Excellent Dianne... So as a Brooklyn girl, do you feel you grew up on Long Island?
ReplyDeleteYour first Sky Watch is gorgeous!!!

Bear((( )))

ReplyDeletedeborah - thanks! and I never care what Jay Leno says! lol
ReplyDeletebobbie - your cloud pics are always wonderful. glad you liked mine, thanks.
jay - you're poetic too! I think matt-man has competition for the Renaissance Man title ;)
it was a perfect day!
daryl - thank you :)
bond - glad ya like the shot :)
My family in Queens thinks they live on LI. Brooklyn thinks it is a city unto itself - and some times I think that's right :)
carletta - thank you, I appreciate that!
bear - I'm sure I'll get hooked - thanks bear :)
Happy SW to you too Randi - thanks!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. I have some NJ pics on my site today too. We must be on the same wavelength.

tammy - thank you :) have a great weekend
raven - I know! when I read about Raritan Bay I thought it was so cool AND I have found a restaurant on the bay that I love! Beautiful open deck right on the water and crab cakes to die for.

ReplyDeleteHi Dianne! Welcome to Sky Watch. I have seen some of your pictures that included the sky and they are NOT crappy. They are just as beautiful as this one. Lisa
ReplyDeleteThat is one beautiful shot! Greetings from Somerset County, NJ! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your comment, re the flying lady.
ReplyDeleteI loved your skywatch picture, it so reminded me of our ferry crossing in June. The sun was shining.................unlike right now.
Thanks again and welcome aboard.
I've never participated in Sky Watch Friday, but I've developed a love of taking cloud photos..they are really fascinating to behold.
ReplyDeleteNice photo Dianne!
I don't feel it's the quality of the photo, but more the sense that everyone shares the same sky. There are some really good photographers, but more like me..just trying..
ReplyDeletekelly - thanks!
ReplyDeletethanks john :)
ivanhoe - awwww thanks! I love my Goddess :)
irish daisies - thanks :)
lisa - guess I never realzied I was shooting the sky lol
it was the firefighter shot that made me notice the sky.
mary - hello somerset :)
thanks for stopping by
denise - oh I'd love to do a ferry crossing on a day like that one! hope the sun comes out soon
patti - I always loved clouds just never thought of them as subjects til recently. odd. maybe I'm blooming late lol
I love all your photos patti
rambling woods - I like the idea of all of us sharing the same sky :) thanks
Beautiful picture Dianne - gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteDianne, your photo for your first SW is really pretty. The cobalt blue sky with the softest pink clouds and just a hint of them reflected in the water. Great shot.
ReplyDeleteSky photo? Can I submit a picture of a Sky vodka bottle?
ReplyDeleteBEAUTIFUL!
ReplyDeletehave a nice weekend!
Gorgeous pic! I love sunny days with the big puffy clouds!
ReplyDeleteFor your first SWF that certainly is a nice photo. Well done.
ReplyDeleteA sweeping panorama of a salt-water bay makes for the perfect sky watch. Even Jamaica Bay and Lower NY Harbor will do. Nice!
ReplyDeleteFantastic :)
ReplyDeleteThis picture is fantastic. I am glad you join so we are not dispossessed of it. Have a nice day and happy skywatching:-)
ReplyDeleteetk - thanks kid :)
ReplyDeletetitania - I love the bit of pink reflected in the water, thanks
quiet rage - I would appreciate watching some Sky Vodka
auringonkukka - thank you, you have a good weekend too
RLL - me too! thanks
snapshutter - love your name :)
ralph - I used to take my son horseback riding on Jamaica Bay! lovely place if you can ignore the Belt Parkway lol
thank you marie :)
namnet - thank you, I'm glad I joined in too
I love clouds just hanging in the sky like that! It's incredible how they form and just kinda' hang there. They often look like they are painted way up high against the blue background!
ReplyDeleteAnd, over water is even prettier!
This is so very wonderful. I think it's possible that you caught this because you needed it. So welcome to SWF and I hope I see many more from you. You're a very busy blogger!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on joining in Sky Watch, it is a lovely photo too, I am always jealous of folks who have lots of clouds as they add lots of texture and depth to a photo. Not sure that there are quite 4 million yet, but give it another week or two, we might get there yet.
ReplyDeleteThe concept is simple enough take a nice photo of your horizon to share with others, but I am finding that the whole process of scanning the sky looking for beauty or at least interesting, has added a different perspective to my week.
Good luck and hope to see more skies with you soon. Thanks for your kind comments on my blog.
That is one great photo unfortunately eclipsed by your tales of woe and remedies there of.
ReplyDeleteLoved your ramble and hope I find you much better next week.
Great sky.
ReplyDeleteGreat sky.
ReplyDeleteI think this is a wonderful sky shot. The clouds and water are so beautiful and the light is contemplative, at least for me.
ReplyDeleteI'm having a hard time believing you take crappy sky pictures. This one is fantastic. Welcome to SWF!
ReplyDeleteWelcomew to Sky Watch. Nothing wrong with this picture. I has a lot of depth
ReplyDeleteHi Dianna, thank you for your visit.
ReplyDeleteCrap picture this is not.Thank you for sharing the wide open view with us.
Glad that you joined SWF and looking forward to seeing more of your lovely neck of the woods.
WOW! Those clouds seem to be floating like ships on the sea ;) Nice and peaceful - no storms in sight!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for visiting my blog. I'm really happy you did because it led me to yours. Welcome to Sky Watch. Your photo reminds me of a painting we used to see at the Chicago Institute of Art. Your photo is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThat was really what I would call a "picture perfect" shot. Beautiful. Would make a fantastic framed item too.
ReplyDeleteTask succeeded :-) Pretty clouds, a restful view, happy colors. I hope your foot will get better soon !
ReplyDeleteWay to start out on a high note! Good for you!
