BLUE SKIES OR STORMY WEATHER? - SKYWATCH

Do blue skies have purple rain?

Skywatch


Blogger is being a pain so I have to just leave you with this rinkie dink image today.
The text is just not being posted right and I'm working and no time to mess about with it.


This week was my one year blog anniversary. Thank you again.


Other images to compare perspective.
Wish you were here
Far and Away
Big Sky
Billowing Clouds



Back to say this is the jetty along the harbour.




Skywatch watchers can be found here. Many thanks to Dot for the inspirational idea, Tom for the first care taking and the My world gang for looking after skywatch now.

  2. Beautiful, as always.

    Blogger's always giving me headaches.

    Is it your blog's anniversary or a wedding anniversary?

    Have a great weekend!

  3. I usually get blogger issues - especially with the spacing of paragraphs and have to stick in asterisks the same colour as my background to make things look ok.

    Great picture! I would say it wasn't going to come to rain for a while.

  5. Happy Anniversary!!! Sorry for your blogging issues. Your picture makes up for your lack of cheerfulness, but then again, your lack of cheerfulness lends an amusing note to your text! For your sake hope that problem clears up soon!

  8. Ah, Babooshka, you always manage to make my day whether with your beautiful photos or your super sense of humor. Sorry you're having blog problems, I've had some, too. They seem to be gone for now -- but who knows???? It's a lovely Sky Watch shot regardless and I look forward to the next installment. And Happy Anniversary!

  9. I've just got issues! Haven't posted yet so not sure about blogger issues, though it is always acting like a naughty little boy!

    Great skywatch photo. I bet purple rain is a nice change :)

    ReplyDelete
  10. I like the perspective of the pier. And the great sky too, of course!

    ReplyDelete
  11. Very pretty, Babs. No, blue clouds rain clear blue water. Most of it falls in the ocean, you can see the blue color there.

    Congrats on your first anniversary blogging. I had my third in December. I have delisted my Jim's Little Blog (3-yr plus) but still post on it. Until we finish our travels in May I will only use the Jim's Little Photo and Poem Place (2-yr plus).

    I don't have any water in my post but do have a couple of older cars. :-)

  17. Rinky Dink shot? You've got to be kidding me! Sorry Blogger's giving you grief on your Bloggoversary! Go have a couple of JDs and you'll get over it!

    ReplyDelete
  18. Be careful with the JD's or you might miss another day !

  19. I do not know if they give purple rain, but it will be close. Great view of that large sky.

  20. Those clouds just hanging around there look like they are about to drop at any moment.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Do you take an image then see the music or do you fit the image around the music? Very clever and creative, but Captain Pluton is mega.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Blogger, Grrrrrrr'
    Great photo. Makes me want to be there with the sea breeze blowing.

  23. I love the platform on the side, it'd be a cool place to be there. The cloud show is also something. I wonder if there is purple rain.

    BTW, blogger is having outage 4pm PDT 2/25 and 2/26.

    Happy Blogosary!

  24. Shaun-Image first. Here's a trade secret but don't tell anyone else shhh! I only decide on the post just before I start writing, so a title will pop into my head. Maybe it's divine inspiration. It works so I leave it that way.

    V- Yoy can bring the FB wine.

  40. I would love purple rain to come out of blue skies!

    Sometimes blogger cooperates and sometimes I want to take a hammer to it.

    Great picture with a lot of energy in it.

    ReplyDelete
  41. It isn't a rinky dink photo to me - It's very beautiful in my opinion! I love that sky!!!

    ReplyDelete
  42. Why not Purple Rain? Congrats on you blogaversay!

    With dial-up I never know if problems are blogger or not. Tonight with high winds I could get bumped off at any time. The trailer is rocking.

    Great capture!

    ReplyDelete
  43. No blogger issues......today. Nice skywatch, I will take blue skies.

    ReplyDelete
  49. Greetings Babooshka. Purple rain would be fun to see. Sounds like a great opening line to a children's story. Perhaps this great photo could grace the cover!!!

    Happy skywatch Friday!

    ReplyDelete
  53. The picture was great, so that worked OK, and there are always some Blogger issues.

    ReplyDelete
  54. Nice Pic. You should download and use windows live writer as a desktop publisher, u`ll never have to worry with blogger`s formatting. give it a try. worth it.

    ReplyDelete
  55. composition originale, avec ce ciel qui mange toute la photo. Superbe ciel
    original composition, with the sky eating whole picture. Beautiful sky

  56. Great image. I tried to get images of the sky yesterday, but I have a new camera and need to play with the settings. All my images so far have been disappointing.

    ReplyDelete
  57. Another beautiful image from you...
    I am so sorry that I missed the Ist anniversay of your excellent blog... well done for keeping it up and putting up with us commenting.. :O)

    Here to the next year.

  58. Purple rain. Sure would like to see that. Sometimes if I have problems with blogger then I find using firefox rather than windows resolves the problem.

    ReplyDelete

  63. Congratulations and your blue sky is just beautiful and the perspective is very deep too.
    Blogger and me we defenitly don't like each other. Until I find something better I use Windows Live Writer. Thanks for stopping by and have a nice weekend!

  64. so beautiful photo :)
    have a nice weekend!

    ReplyDelete
  65. What a sky ! and I love these light houses ! reminds me my holidays in Eastbourne !
    I don't care which color the rain has, I just wish it wouldn't rain !
    We are too spoiled with it here in Belgium.

    ReplyDelete
  66. Oh I just hate it when Blogger gets in a mood. But I love this photo! The subtle threat of the clouds, the sweeping curve of the ... curvy thing at the lower right and the two... what are those anyway? Even embiggened I couldn't tell. Look like pint sized lighthouses or something. anyway, they keep you engaged. And you know I'm always captivated by large expanses of water reaching the horizon.

    But purple rain? If I ever see that, I may have to check in somewhere.

    ReplyDelete
  67. congratulations! looks like heavy downpour ahead, although its marvelous just looking at the clouds :D

  78. You have the best eye for composition and I just love this shot!

    ReplyDelete
  79. Beautiful shot! Blogger was acting up yesterday afternoon. I think maybe it had something to do with their scheduled outage for maintenance.

    ReplyDelete
  80. I'm so glad you are enjoying the lessons in my blog... knowledge is safety! I love your rinkie dink image. The clouds are so interesting...

    ReplyDelete

  85. Babooshka: What a neat look at the clouds over the break wall. You captuered it with a great view.

    ReplyDelete
  86. As always a well catured and composed image.
    Have a nice weekend.

    ReplyDelete
  87. Any one image you take is worth looking at, no matter what Blogger is doing :-) The sky makes the lighthouse look so small for the work it must do! I hate it when Blogger won't format the way I want. I waste so much time taking out blank spaces and getting it set right and then it only stays that way if I do a scheduled post.

    ReplyDelete
  88. I've never seen it rain cats and dogs yet. Maybe if it did, I'd get to see some white dog poo again!

    ReplyDelete
  89. Happy Blogiversary.
    Yeah, blogger's been a bit of a pain for me lately, too.

    That sky looks so out of porportion to the land. Magnificent.

    ReplyDelete
  90. Happy anniblogaversary! You're doing a fabulous job. Pictures and text are an inspiration to me and I'm sure many others. There was a note saying that Blogger was going to have an outage on Thursday at 4pm PDT - maybe that was the problem? Thanks for taking the time to visit my blog - hope you enjoyed the JD!

    ReplyDelete
  91. Happy blogiversary! Congrats...your photos have brought a lot of "ohhs" and "ahhs" to other bloggers around the world. Today's SWF is another great scene. Love those clouds...and the water...

    ReplyDelete
  92. Oh so beautiful with the stillness of the sea surmounted by those great dynamic clouds.

    ReplyDelete
  93. Sorry about your blogger issues. I have trouble sometimes, too. However, these issues didn't hinder the viewing of an awesome photo. Thanks for stopping by monasterydailyphoto.

    ReplyDelete
  94. I see blue sky and clouds, now I wonder what was the outcome. :-) Very pretty photo!

    ReplyDelete
  95. There is clouds of Cream and Purple Rain from the clouds. Dolphins swim in that sea. The Most Beautiful Girl In The World snapped the photo. She was wearing Diamonds And Pearls. Blogger was behaving badly which is just a Sign O´The Times.

    All that if it´s a Prince-y world out there and today it must be.

    ReplyDelete
  96. Not a clue about weather-y things, but I know a lovely sky when I see it!
    Much Blogger pain here, especially in accessing other sites.

    Happy anniversary!

    ReplyDelete
  97. Happy Blogiversary too!

    I'd love to see the purple rain. I've had minimal issues with blogger.. Maybe.. with new templates. But I work on a Mac and at work on a pc. Windows doesn't format or upload images as well.. some of it is impacted by network security but the formatting is always off.
