While trying to keep my blog current, it would be silly to use a skywatch photo of such a day. Dull, cloudy.
For that reason, this is a photo from earlier this month, April 9, at 3:22 p.m. as it caught me eye.
It struck me that the cosmic joker was smiling, as this cloud formation appeared in between several Lake Effect rain storms. Clouds grew dark, it rained, and then the sun would peek through.
The budding trees make fine subjects up against the sky.

The sky is reflected on the water everywhere, as wildlife wakes up or returns to warming land. The fingerlings and minnows swim about, seeking food when the sun shines. They warm their bodies, swimming in their schools. Hard to photograph, much easier to capture the geese!

Great photograph. I'm glad that the sky doesn't have teeth.
Jenn: Cute capture of the big smile, your lake is getting ready for fishing.
True @Yogi!
I know, Fishing Guy! The week fish are so cute. I will work at capturing them, but I still have 2/3 of 5 CC yards of top soil to play with before the next rain shower, although maybe snow tonight!
The sky looks like a big smile
They are all beautiful!
I love the one of the branches with the flowers.:P
The reflection of the sky on the water is superb.
Gorgeous captures, Jenn! Love ducks and geese! The budding trees are so beautiful. Fantastic sky in the first one, but like Yogi, I'm glad it doesn't have teeth! Have a great weekend!

You have to grab the opportunity to get springtime pictures when it presents itself these days! Your photos are great, - that's a most impressive cloud with the bright blue slashed through it.
That is a great sky....I love how you have captured the feel for the weather...
We had a foggy morning, hazy sun (but warm) all day, but tonight there is a glorious sunset with the remaining clouds turning gold and orange. Not quite a good as a summer sunset, but close. - Margy
How many songbirds have the Grumpy cats killed when out?
I must admit, 'Anonymous', that they don't kill nearly as many as one would think. How egregious of you to say so. Mind you, the weasels, fishers, hawks, and other prey kill their fair share. I figure it purifies the gene pool. Only the stupid ones get caught by a big black cat who is well-fed.
