This week has not been a good one for picture taking. We are getting our son ready to go back to college and working with contracts getting ready to freshen the house up a little. So I am off into my archives. I searched for photos taken in August.
This is Tulsa’s Lafortune Park. A regular 18 hole golf course, par three course, little league and Pony League baseball fields, Tennis Center, Memorial High School, a Library, Gardens with fishing ponds, and wrapped up by a three mile walking path. If I had a dollar for every lap I have run or walked on that route, I would be a major thousandaire.
Two years ago in August I visited my sister Ellen, working as a Seasonal Park Ranger at Yellowstone Park. We had a great time. The forest fires out west that year made for great sunrises. (and sunsets).
And of course we visited Old Faithful, and she blew off a steam to a big crowd.
A workover rig on a recently fracked well in western Oklahoma a couple years ago. Not too much drilling or fracking going on right now!!
Morning sky over some horse stables north of Tulsa. Son did therapeutic horseback riding for years at this place.
I am linking with Skywatch Friday – come join in!!
Alan – many of us have been turning to our archives these days! I thoroughly enjoyed this look back in time! Hope the college move goes well, as well as the work on the house!
Wow! Such dynamic skies ~ fantastic photos ~ ^_^
Thanks for your sweet comments ~ I am still hurting from loss of Zoe ~ precisely because I know I can not replace her ~ that is what hurts so much ~

Hello,
Great series of sky images. I like the Yellowstone sky, very colorful. Great capture of Old faithful!
Good luck to your son, back at college. Maybe things will be normal there. Thanks for hosting Skywatch!
Take care, hope your day is great!
…I read that you were getting lot of rain, how about sending some up to us? Take care.
Beautiful photos! We’re getting ready to have our house painted, I can’t wait!
One of my biggest thrills was seeing Old Faithful in Yellowstone! I laughed at how many people gathered along with me to see it erupt. How are they all social distancing these days at the rim?
Good luck to Logan as he goes back to school. Hope there will be many safety precautions in effect.
I bet your sister gets to see some amazing scenery!
Beautiful shots. I like the one of “Old Faithful”. I just discovered a folder full of photos (over 2000) from my memory card (unedited) from 2012. Looks like I’ll be posting some archive photos soon!
Amazing pics
These few days no lovely sunrises or sunsets, only gray sky because of the volcanic dust blown over from our neighbour country. Dramatic sky in the last picture. I too have been going back to the archives for sky pictures. Thank you for hosting. Enjoy your weekend and stay safe.
Great skies.
“Those were the days” for many of us. What a nice park you have there in Tulsa. Including a library!
What lovely skies!
Your Yellowstone sunset reminds me of the ones we’re having. Colorado has 3 major fires burning right now only a few hours from us. It’s impacting air quality, and I don’t think any are contained. Luckily, no structures burned so far but lots of wilderness destroyed. I’m glad Logan is preparing to go back to school. None of my Grands will be in-person learning, at least at first.
Great looking skies! Good luck to your son in college.
These cloud shots are just lovely. The skies here in Jeddah are rarely like yours!
May you be blessed with brightening up the house. Sending prayers that the college kid will be safe and sound and become a wise person. My grandson helped keep the old way of doing things on the blog so, here I am one more week. LOL! Thanks for your help.
