We recently had a trip to Pa. and while there had a couple of down days from business..so we went down to the Conowingo Dam in Md. to take some pictures of Eagles there...we arrived early and got a chance to photograph some of the Sunrise at the Dam.

Click on images to enlarge for a better view.

The Dam at beginning of Sunrise

Off in the distance...sunrise around the power lines


Power Towers surround the area

We didn't know it..but the Eagles don't usually arrive till around 9 AM or 10 AM so we just waited and watched the Gulls fishing in the water.

You can also skip on down to the two posts below to view some of the Eagles that we photographed.

I am going to again try to post on Sky Watch as I did last week..but alas I could not post there as the page just came up blank when trying several times, and I see only one person came and looked at my post on my blog..thank you Sylvia.

Here we go again..trying again this week...as usual just click on any photo to get a life sized view.

Sky Watch is all about sky and clouds..so this week I am concentrating on clouds mostly...there is always an awesome array of clouds here in Western NC.

Now I want to take you along on a journey that I recently took down East of here and on the way back approaching the mountains again saw some awesome cloud formations that I would like to share with you as seem from my truck window.

I took all the following photo's with a point and shoot camera through the windshield of my truck.

Thank you to our sponsors who each week work tirelessly to bring us wonderful pictures of skies from everywhere on the globe.

My post today was taken just a couple days ago after several days of dark looming cloud filled skies where we neither got Sunrises or Sunsets of any color..but did get much needed late evening showers.

Thank you again to our sponsors who tirelessly use their time to bring us wonderful views of skies from all over for our viewing pleasure.

My post today was taken at the close of day on the Twenty Second day of July as I stepped outside and noticed a very eye catching sunset in the West and North West.

As usual, click on any photograph to enlarge for a close up and personal view.

Start of the Sunset in the West

About 20 minutes later W.

Wonderful Color also in the NW

As I turned to come back into the house I noticed up in the SW Sky a big bright 3/4 moon shinning down on me so I pointed the camera up and took a shot of the Moon and then did a close up shot also which you will see below.

3/4 Moon in the SW Sky

My post for today consists of two photographs of a Morning Moon a few days ago that I just had to show you.

I follow those two photographs with some awesome Spring Morning Sunrise photographs we had just yesterday.

Our Creator seems to never tire of bringing beauty in the skies for our viewing pleasure.

Just for good measure...a closer look at the moon.

Now for our spectacular Spring Morning Sunrise of yesterday.

Sunrise in the North West.

I know I did not put one in of the Sunrise in the West...the sky there yesterday was just plain Blue..with no clouds and therefore no hint of color.

Please excuse me for not getting to many of your Sky Watch sites last week...I was feeling under the weather...just barely got my post in..and had to go rest.
