Weathervane Sky SWF

1. weathervane-kab Weathervane atop fountain in City Square Park, Charlestown, MA 8-12-11

With the possible approach of hurricane Irene it seems only appropriate to have a weathervane as this week’s Skywatch Friday post! I photographed this weathervane atop the fountain in Charlestown's City Square Park 2 weeks ago. There were plenty of blue skies then, but…

 

2. frog-kab …perhaps this froggy is ready for some rain!

Happy Skywatch Friday!

I’ve also posted a new poem on Kathie’s Poet Tree: I Know What is coming.

  1. I think this is going to be the best Sky Watch Friday yet. The things I have seen are very encouraging and the photography is spot on. I really admire your photography skills and your critical eye for composition, lighting and texture.

  4. I love to see all sorts of weather vanes. They are all unique pieces of art.

    A MAN WHO LOOKED UP AT THE SKY

    A man who looked up at the sky
    Saw ravens and clouds flying by.
    He had to look up,
    The sky filled his cup—
    He’s my kind of sky-watching guy!

  6. Good luck with the big storm. We are traveling to Boston soon and madly digging through our desert wardrobes, trying to figure out what to bring!

  11. A bird on the weather vane but what else could one expect from you. Hope your scary weather turns out to be a storm in a tea cup.
