Summer's Almost Gone....

October eh? I know I'm raging against the dying of the light here, but just before we forget them, here's some blue skies for Skywatch Friday.

Ok, there's a suggestion of a cloud in this one....... but it's a very near perfect blue sky.


These were all taken on the same day around Lintrathen a few weeks ago.



The forecast here for the next few days?.......... Heavy rain...... Can't wait!

Now where's my wellies?


Brownie points to anyone who can identify the band whose song makes the post title.

  2. Terrific shots as always, Neil, and I will miss the blue skies. These are a great reminder of the beauty!

    Wasn't that a Doors song? They were one of my favorites.

    Have a great weekend!

  3. I love it when we get pretty blue skies like that. All the shots are great, but I especially like the first one. The green on blue feels peaceful.

  10. What a gorgeous blue! I had to let my eyes drink it in for awhile, as we've already had to say goodbye to our blue skies here in the pacific northwest! Very nice pictures.

  12. I think the saying "blue and green should never be seen" is nonsense, just look at your first shot.
