SkyWatch Friday ~ Ghostly News

Don't forget to click HERE to see all the Skywatch post from around the world.

*** Friday is the last day to enter my giveaway this week. If you have not done so, click HERE to enter on MONDAY'S post. Anyone can enter, International Friends are welcome to enter as well. I will announce the winner on Sat. ***

Now~ My SkyWatch Photos of the week!!


These photos were taken on a cold morning at our cabin in Colorado. The fog was very thick, and by the time I got my camera, it had started to lift a bit. I have never been too fond of the fog. I feel very claustrophobic in foggy conditions.

However, on this particular morning, it made for some great snapshots with the fog lifting. I tell ya' there is nothing compared to the mornings in the mountains. Happy Skywatch to everyone this Halloween Friday.

    Well, I do like the fog, but I'm right with you on the mountains - nothing like them. I miss my foothills!

    I don't get claustrophobic in the fog until it gets thick enough that I can't tell if I'm moving or not. Then it gets to me a little.

    I looked for the war chief, but I was really too distracted by the photograph itself to pay much attention. Stunning shot!

    Cool posting for a Halloween themed Sky Watch Friday. Foggy skies are always interesting but find them hard to photograph myself, yours are lovely though.

    Thanks for sharing all the fun of a Halloween Sky Watch Friday and your kind comments on my post earlier.

    Where in the CO. mtns is Melkoski? We are at 9,000 ft. in the SanJuans between Ridgway & Ouray about an hour from Telluride ski resort. I love to see the clouds come down below us & fill up the valley. Makes me want to cozy up by the fire! Very retro the pumpkin!

    I believe you when you say there is nothing to compare with to be in the mountains, ( with or without Indian war chief). The pictures are wonderful, very ethereal with the fog lifting and the sun shining through.
