For SKY WATCH FRIDAY I’m going to try and find some color on this winter day. Leaving Lancaster,Ohio behind and heading for the Hocking Hills I will be looking for some “high ground” to search for some color on this gray day.What could be better than a Fire Tower for a good view?
Lot of steps to climb to get a good view. Not looking for any fires just some color.
Can you see it? Way off in the distance I think I see a little color. First, I would like for you to see this photo titled (Gray on Grey).
A touch of YELLOW,RED,AND BLUE but I’m sure I saw more.
Ahh, been climbing around in my side yard I see. LOL! In the Fall that is a wonderful sight to look across.
ReplyDeleteHahaha! Great post.
ReplyDeleteWe've seen tons of grey skies lately too, but the weather has changed for the better. Still a bit nippy outdoors but the skies have suddenly turned BLUE and the sunsets have been incredible! What a welcome change, eh?
Ha Ha ha ----Love the Blue Bottle Tree... As you said, we need to find some color wherever we can!!!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat post. Love the views from the top of the fire tower. Would love to see them again in spring/summer...

ReplyDeleteGray Skies and winter go hand in hand sometimes but it looks like you had a bit of fun trying to find that elusive color.
ReplyDeleteWe have boring grey skies too, just makes it all the better when the blues return!..... thanks ofr your efforts, and sharing!....:)
ReplyDeleteJoe: Great capture of the blue in the air. We actually have had some changes the last few days.

I do love what you can do with gray skies and that bottle tree is priceless! Hopefully you'll see some blue before long! It's a little hard to sit at my desk today because we do have some sun and wild looking cloud formations! Have a great weekend, sending blue your way!

ReplyDeleteThe blue bottles in the tree is really sort of pretty.
ReplyDeleteThe view from the fire tower is lovely.
Those blue bottles certainly add color to a gray day!

Joe -- I actually think I'm going to be able to leave a comment! Yes.
ReplyDeleteThat bottle tree is very funny. But I think the grey on gray picture (or was it grey on gray?) was quite artistic; much better than the cardboard I threatened to take back in Oregon.
I enjoyed sharing your hunt for color. thanks.
I´ve seen colorfull posts here!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blog soul.
Thanks, Gray Wolf!

nice photos, Joe! I kinda like the blue bottles, they're a great color! I'm so jealous of your fire towers! I haven't been up in one in much too long!
ReplyDeleteLove the bottles we have has an odd week dismal to bright blue sunny shiny days here in the UK but its still freezin cold
ReplyDeleteI have carried a backpack full of radio gear up one of those things. Add in the car battery to power it all and I know just how hard it is to climb!!
ReplyDeleteNice find with the bottles.
I really like those blue bottles
ReplyDeleteGreat overview from the fire tower.It is really very hard to find some color in nature without sunshine but as I see in your photos, it is possible if you are trying hard. The blue bottles in the last picture make a pleasing composition too.
ReplyDeleteHaha! That's a great post, Joe. You should be down here in the south though if you're looking for color through all the gray. My daffodils are not sprouting green. Before too long, they will be a golden yellow. Can't wait.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures! Thanks for sharing. You made me laugh. :D

Delightfully entertaining post in so many ways. Love the way you dressed up your grey skies with red frames and that bottle tree is something else. Well done ;-)
