Hey you know life goes up and down and so does Christmas. This year was a restrained Christmas in our family. My sister came to visit for a few days beforehand and that was definitely a boost. Other factors came in that kind of restrained things. So we had a quiet Christmas. The sun didn’t shine and it was kind of misty rainy so above is my Christmas Skywatch photo. I’ll take it. Not much of a sky but I love the tree. And yes that is a filter I used on my phone. About four of them in fact.
And this is a shot from our driveway a few days beforehand. I kind of liked it. A wag on instagram said that the chemtrails ruined the photo. Get this folks, chemtrails are not real. There, that is my Christmas message to the world.
Another day, same driveway, looking the other way. I used distressedfx on this.
And this is a jigsaw puzzle that I did on my ipad.
Another jigsaw puzzle.
About this time of year, if you are on social media, you get all sorts of hits about apps that will do a yearly recap for you. So I bit on one, I did a couple of 2024 rehashes, one was about my life in general and another about 2024 skies. I saved the resulting videos and then cancelled my seven day free membership. I then inputted the videos to youtube and so above is my 2024 skywatch rehash. It only lasts 30 seconds and then starts over so don’t do what I did and watch it over and over until I realized what I was doing.
I watched a couple of NFL football games including a miserable Baltimore – Houston game that ended 31-2. Tell you what though, Beyonce performed the halftime show. And what a show it was! Came in on a horse and just killed the performance. She should do the Superbowl halftime show. And I am not even a Beyonce fan!
I hope that everyone of you who celebrate Christmas had a good one.
I love your skies!
…up here along Lake Ontario the sun is MIA most days!
We don’t see much of the sun here during the winter (although my post shows one of those rare days). I liked the filter look of your third picture. I’m not a huge Beyonce fan but I also have to admit that white costume was spectacular and her cover of Blackbird was wonderful.
Bellos cielos. Te mando un beso.

Very quiet Christmas for me too. And that’s what we wanted for this year. Cheers to 2025!
Beautiful skies.
Good skies.
All photos are a visual delight.
Lovely skies~
Happy festival sir! Great pictures. Hope you had great time
Amazing skies, Great clicks.
Greetings
Beautiful collection of skywatch photos. I hope your Christmas was wonderful.
We had a quiet Christmas, hubby was recovering from the Shingles.
I wish you and yours all the best in 2025, a happy and healthy New Year!
i like the 3rd pic…its like another planet came very close to the earth
I love the tree shot. I don’t know what it is about bare trees, but I love to find neat ones with all the twisty branches. Undressed trees are the best. Love your sky shots too. I hope y’all have a wonderful week and a blessed New Year.
We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from our house to your house.
We had a very similar day here, we were all too tired so we just relaxed
Chemtrails! OH MY. What people believe…
A quiet Christmas is good. All the best.
Love that red sky! I’m sure if the government was trying to control the weather with chemtrails, they would have quit by now because the storms are costing them a fortune.
The link to the music was broken, but it is on the NFL site. https://youtu.be/QO0SSraNKus?si=XQhBjGJ2IIy4ipzU
