Skywatch! Moonset in the fog :)

It sure has been a while since I participated in Skywatch Friday! But a couple of mornings ago, when I found the moon peeking out behind the morning fog that we've had for the past few weeks, I just couldn't resist grabbing my camera!
First, here's the fog, across the valley from my house:
 and then, suddenly, look who took a last bow before setting below the hills!



That was totally unexpected, and a lot of fun :)

These from my kitchen window, one week ago:

I'm such a sucker for marbley clouds - gorgeous, right?

Skywatch - last month's clouds

I found these in my January 2014 folder; apparently they slipped through the cracks and went unnoticed and unposted until now. I confess to not remembering exactly when and where I took these! I suppose that's the blessing and curse of keeping my camera in my bag! On the one hand, it could have been anywhere... but on the bright side, at least I did manage to take them, and they are awfully pretty :)

Skywatch - That's a Match!

Biking to work just a couple of weeks ago, I found this lovely sunrise:

only to find this matching sunset, the very next day:

Sunrise, sunset...

(Don't forget - you're invited to click on any and all of the photos, if you'd like a closer view!)

Yesterday morning, at work, I suddenly noticed the sun rising out my window. I couldn't see much, but it looked like it was probably a good show:
So I went outside to get a clearer view:
About half an hour later, my youngest daughter called. She was walking to her school bus, and was calling to tell me to go outside and check out the beautiful sunrise! It's good to have spies in the right places :) and she was right! Here's how things had progressed:
But the grande finale was one step away. Later that afternoon, back at home, we were blessed with a perfectly matched sunset :)
Not a bad day :)

Skywatch - sunsets again :)

(As a preface - please feel free to click on any of the photos, if you'd like a closer view!)

Okay, this is actually a three camera post :)

 This past Tuesday afternoon, I was walking near my house, when I glanced to the left and noticed an amazing sunset. Unusually, I didn't have my camera handy, but I had to try to capture it, so I used - sigh - my phone :)
I got home, and things were really getting interesting. It looked like the sky was on fire! So I grabbed my point-and-shoot camera, and took a shot:
That's when my ever-helpful husband pointed out that there was a great reflection of the sunset's colors in the flooded valley below our house. My point-and-shoot doesn't zoom all that well, so I reached for my beloved Canon Rebel, which has a lovely zoom! First I tried using it to get the sky itself, but with the lens I was using, I was already pretty zoomed :) Still, it brought out some interesting detail:
And finally, the reflection in our simultaneously flooded and snowy fields. This is not a very common view for us, here in Israel!
Whew, I think that's about it :)
