The Curtains Open, A New Year Begins

Happy New Year to all Quincy Daily Photoblog followers!  On this first day of the month and new year, I have chosen to post a favorite image from 2012.   The clouds are a great metaphor for change that comes with a new year and the ever-changing Blacks Creek is one of Quincy's most beautiful places to photograph.   I am looking forward to capturing & sharing more images from Quincy in 2013.

Layers

From Wollaston Beach, you can really enjoy the layers of clouds moving across the Boston skyline.  Happy Skywatch Friday!

Heaps Of Clouds

We have had some great cloud sightings the last couple of days.  These cumulous clouds are located over the salt marsh near Fenno Street.  Happy Skywatch Friday!

We have been deluged by another tropical system for the last couple days. Sunny days ahead. Happy Skywatch Friday!

Three Clouds

I was mesmerized by these clouds over Blacks Creek a few nights ago.

Happy Skywatch Friday!

The sight of these clouds and their reflections in Blacks Creek was breathtaking after experiencing numerous rainy days.

Happy Skywatch Friday everyone!

Storm Front

As the storm front approached I was treated to a cloud phenomena known as iridescent clouds. By the time I ran to get my camera, most of the colors had disappeared, but you can see a hint of pink color on the top of the white cloud layer.

Storms have been racing across the states leaving some gorgeous cloud formations in their wake. Happy sky watching Friday everyone.

Reeds and Puddles

I like the way the wind adds texture to a puddle in the parking lot of the Technical School on a recent sunny day.
