Sky Watch: Sycamore
Sky Watch Friday is a photo meme with photos of sunrises, sunsets, blue skies, gray skies, pink skies, dark skies and any other kind of sky posted by bloggers all over the planet.
I took these photos of the American Sycamore trees on my block at sunset one day.
I like the round seed ball shapes.
You can read more about our local sycamores in my previous post.

I'm first! I know, childish behavior;)
Fun angle of those creeping sycamore branches. It looks so warm and summerish (maybe summerish is not a word?).
Happy SWF!
Leora says
sys op, hi! glad you're first. What's neat is I would not being doing trees for Sky Watch if it were summer, because too many leaves would be blocking the view.
Photo Cache says
Love love love these photos. Happy swf.
Louise says
I love the sky, especially to color. But I REALLY love the bare trees with their seed pods dangling!

Pink clouds always look so dainty. That first shot (in particular) is so lovely. The contrast of tose branches and berries against the softness of the sky is striking.
soulbrush says
these are truly magical.
Mojo says
So that's what those are! I've seen similar trees in other posts, but never knew.
Great series... as you can probably tell I'm a big fan of sunsets/sunrises. The "Golden Hours" as we photography types like to call them.
Lovely work!
Catherine says
These bared branches make the perfect frame, black against the soft color of the sky make a wonderful composition.
gel says
Those leaning trees point the viewer to the soft colors. So pretty! Here via skywatch fri.
(Shalom!I read your web skills background. Best wishes for continued success! We're in a different region, but my husband designed websites for our JCC (among others in his "spare time") and implemented that network. He no longer has time to volunteer as much, but it was rewarding then.)
Arija says
Lovely gentle wintry skies.
Sara Chapman in Seattle says
All three are lovely, but I especially love the luminosity of the sky in the third photo. I like the ball shapes, too, and I used to really love the peeling bark as a kid in Philadelphia. Not too many sycamores around Seattle, though.
