Skywatch Friday – Whining Away the Days Edition

IMG_7108

This pic is from late November. Since then it has turned cold, really cold. At least what we here in Oklahoma consider to be cold. Plus it snowed. So I have been inside fighting off the kid and the dogs and cats for space in front of the hearth. So I have lots of pics of Christmas Trees and ornaments and such. Not much in the way of skies or anything like that.

Plus I went from a cubicle with a window to an inside office with lots of gas company beige. I am ashamed to say that I got so wrapped up in my napping work that I forget to look up and sunset time is over.

(Warmer times)

Generally, Wednesday night has been good Skywatch time for me because that is my weekly kitchen pass to go run. But with it getting dark at 5 pm and I don’t get off until 6 and don’t hit the river parks trail until 6:30 I am shuffling running in the dark now.

(However, last minute addition to the post. On my running last night, I did come across these Christmas trees on the river trails. They were a nice surprise.)

So sorry, I have no game this week, just a pic off my front porch as the sun was going down.

    I don’t think it says anywhere in the Skywatch rules that the photo has to be taken in the same week it is posted. So, you can dig as far back in the archives as you like to get the photo you want. I really like the lighted trees in the last image.

    Pretty dramatic skies in your first pics!! That snow does look cold!! Hope your week is going well — even if it is cold!! Stay warm, reserve a place by the heater!!

    What a view from your office, but it is now an old office? What a shame! Your scenic photos are gorgeous and I love the Christmas trees. Lovely series, have a happy weekend!

    What a shame to have to leave that office view. Spectacular. I am always making banners from old book pages so I immediately caught the Joy to the World. Liked it.

    A super series of pics here and enjoyed the night time shot of the Christmas Trees, also the Joy to the World decoration. Thank you for visiting my SWF post, loved the story of you being a bargain baby 🙂

    The skies you show are lovely and it’s OK to go back in your archives as far as I’m concerned. My sky is hardly ever of the current week, I don’t even usually get my camera downloaded until the week or two later. YOu are dedicated to continue to run after it gets dark so early! Easy to use that as an excuse to veg out.

    Thanks for hosting SW!!!

    That sunset is phenomenal! What a grave injustice, putting a Sky Watcher in a windowless office! (I used to work in one myself, in a basement, with 6 other woman. Hell on earth!)

    Those trees are very festive and pretty, too! Can’t believe it’s still cold there… snowing and blowing here today, but supposed to warm to the 40s starting tomorrow! I’ll believe it when I feel it. 🙂

    Gosh, I seem to have missed so many posts (I’ve been under the weather). Do you know that expression? Rotten to have to spend your day in a windowless office – have you been downgraded in the office hierarchy? Love the way you Americans go so over the top with your Christmas decorations – wish we could lose some of our inhibitions.

    @Leedslass – sorry to hear that you have been under the weather. I wish you a full and speedy recovery.
    And no I hadn’t been downgraded, yet. My office before with the window was actually a cubicle. It had a great view. They thought I needed my own space so now I have a private office, on the interior. I like the more room and privacy but I miss my view. I go and borrow my old window from time to time.
