Happy New Year, and welcome to the first SkyWatch of 2009!

Skywatch is a meme, a communal sharing, of photos of the sky from around the world. It’s just-for-fun, not-for-profit, and noncompetitive. To participate, blog a photo which includes the sky, then add its link to the master list at the Skywatch website. Enjoy, and visit the rest of the Skywatch posts when they are posted at 7:30 GMT today.

Pity to leave the park but it you do have to go, what better way than on a yellow train? Nice shot.

It would be hard to Denali. I found it hard enough to leave Grand Canyon. Are you going back? Rather a stormy looking sky. Thanks for sharing.

Welcome to 2009.

The yellow train contrasts nicely with the green of the trees and the grey of the skies. Nicely done. Happy New Year!

So you left under a quilt of gray. It looks like you had many happy memories to dream about though!

You make that park very enticing! Beautiful.

Neat shot – it’s like someone gave the order, “Gray up, color down!”

A Death In The Blogger World

A blogger friend lost her husband suddenly last Sunday night. I thought it would be nice to go and leave a message for her on her blog…You may know her as ‘mommanator’ at grannies ramblings

That yellow train looks so pretty with the cloudy gray sky and the dark evergreens. Happy 2009.

Hi Wren, Did you cry having to leave that gorgeous place??? If I were younger, I’d live in Alaska in a heartbeat!!!

Happy 2009.
Hugs,
Betsy
