October Skies

[PamSnaps1]

I was thinking about how my mood darkens as the days get shorter in the fall and I thought about how the skies portray moods so well. So maybe some of you would like to post some photos of the sky just for fun that show your moods no matter what they may be. Be creative and have fun!


This is how I have been feeling rather bleak. It happens to me every fall starting in September and increasing until after the days begin to get longer again.

I have been a boring person, unmotivated, uninterested and just plain old blah! It happens.

I am going back to the gym for some natural antidepressants ie... exercise and sunshine! I must get my sunshine quota and get this blood moving in my veins, through moving!

So sorry I have been absent. School has restarted and the battle of the bugs continues and I am not feeling up to par. But I do have a "pocketful of sunshine" I just have to replenish my supply! :)

I love fall but know that winter follows it, so I get what you are saying. Here are two shots that I have taken in October with the sky...

[PamSnaps1]

@egad these are gorgeous! I like the first one best as it feels mysterious somehow. but the second one is spot on perfect!

[Mcdougall]

Not too much sky :)

[PamSnaps1]

@mcdougall how lovely and evocative! Great composition and details!

[Paula]

This sky is much like my thoughts right now - fragmented, but full of beautiful things:)

[Marilyn Wigen]

As soon as I opened the door to go after the paper this morning I turned around to go after my camera so I could get this shot of the sunrise in the fog and frost.

[Dorrena Ortega]

October skies can be gorgeous.

Sunrise one morning. Taken with my iPhone with very minimal levels adjustment.

[PamSnaps1]

@pwallis Awesome! Those clouds are stunning!

[PamSnaps1]

@marilyn how gorgeous! I can see why you had to get this photo!

[PamSnaps1]

@dmortega yes they can! I love the leaves against the azure skies!

[PamSnaps1]

@hmgphotos Wow! Its is Awesome!

[PamSnaps1]

@potsbypam I really like the colors in this photo - lovely subtle contrasts.

[Marilyn Wigen]

@potsbypam Thank you so much... :)

The blue sky in this image uplifts my spirit.

Another October sunrise.


October Day

[Kathryn Marshall]

Cloudy days depress me, but I liked the orange on these clouds. It reminded me of watercolor.

[Kathryn Marshall]

A beautiful blue sky and lots of nice natural light for my shots. What more could I ask for!

[Kathryn Marshall]

Another blue sky and a nice warm day. (I wish these days would have stayed.)

[Stephy]

[Paula x2 Brumbe]

Pam, I hate the shorter days and that winter is coming. But sometimes I forget how much I truly love October. The air is so clean, blue and crisp (especially after a humid summer). It is also the time I love to be in nature so I can soak up as much sun, clean air and activities before I start to hide out from cold weather.
I chose this photo because it is clean and I am out having a blast.
