Wildfire #SkyPortrait

Smooth sky shading from slate up top to yellowish below

Asakiyume/Morinotsuma@asakiyume· 28d

Sun is doing that wildfire thing 😱

Sun looking all sunset-like when it’s still relatively high in the sky

The #SkyPortrait from yesterday is like a painting, a study in different shades of gray.

Darker gray clouds against lighter gray background, some white here and there.

Evening sky, Saturday 11 July #SkyPortrait

Bits of cloud glowing gold/white from the lowering sun, with darker gray in places, against a blue sky.

Asakiyume/Morinotsuma@asakiyume· Jul 11

A #SkyPortrait from yesterday (10 July) Sometimes the sky is such a show-off!

Clouds seeming to flair outward like ocean spray hitting a rock.

Asakiyume/Morinotsuma@asakiyume· Jul 9

Wild summer skies #SkyPortrait

Different textures of cloud, from very crisply delineated to soft and blurred occupy the lower diagonal of the picture.

Asakiyume/Morinotsuma@asakiyume· Jul 8

Don’t ask me where I’ve been, instead, gaze upon the con trail of 8 July: a #SkyPortrait

A faint and broken plane con trail crossing a blue sky. If you zoom in maybe you can see the plane.

Yesterday’s #SkyPortrait, a lake of sky and shores of cloud.

Clear blue sky on the right and center, with white clouds around the sides.

"Open for the Hollyday!" said a sign on the door. It was FABULOUS. At one point a guy came in carrying 5 giant pieces of sugarcane. Me: Posso praticar português? Young, friendly guy at counter: Claro. Me: Vocês preparam tudo isso sozinhos? Him: Siim! The sugarcane for juices, dishes, desserts!

American flag and Brazilian flag on either side of a turned-off TV screen above a sign that says "Banana Brasil, now featuring beer and wine." There's a giant banana plushy in the right corner, and garlands of national flags hung along the top of the wall.

Garlands of national flags above a wall poster that says Welcome Banana Brasil Restaurant Buffet Grill. We sell by tray Buffet Style Grill Machine Then the phone number and address. On the right is a woman in a chef's outfit, holding a wooden spatula and salad fork.

Another hot-weather #SkyPortrait

Asakiyume/Morinotsuma@asakiyume· Jul 3

Ancient stamps from 1981: a series on state birds and flowers--only missing North Dakota. Notice how they vary the poses of, for example, the cardinals, so even though many states have a cardinal for a state bird, the stamps are all unique. So beautiful!

A set of 50 stamps, with the one on the lower left corner missing. The stamps all have images of birds and flowers on them--the state bird and state flower of each of the US states. At the time the stamps were issued, first-class postage was 20 cents. Now first-class postage is 78 cents.

Hot day #SkyPortrait

Blue shading into near white by the sun, pale clouds.

Asakiyume/Morinotsuma@asakiyume· Jul 2

Tiny puff of cloud in this #SkyPortrait

Like the leftovers of a cloud hovering over some trees in a pale blue sky.

Asakiyume/Morinotsuma@asakiyume· Jun 30

Cloudy #SkyPortrait for the last day of June. @cottonmanifesto.bsky.social

Mottled shades of gray, kind of restful to look at.

Asakiyume/Morinotsuma@asakiyume· Jun 29

Here's mine from yesterday. #SkyPortrait

Beautiful white clouds in a pale blue sky, they're like continents in an ocean.

Asakiyume/Morinotsuma@asakiyume· Jun 28

Today’s #CloudPortrait

Lots of tiny clouds flecking the blue sky.

Asakiyume/Morinotsuma@asakiyume· Jun 28

One of my friends in Leticia, Colombia, sent me this video showing how they're celebrating Colombia's draw against Portugal this evening 😁

Asakiyume/Morinotsuma@asakiyume· Jun 26

Was on the road a lot today, and boy was the sky dramatic. Take your pick for a #SkyPortrait! @cottonmanifesto.bsky.social

Billowing cumulous clouds crowding out the blue of the sky.

Rain clouds through which light is shining down like rain from cracks in the cloud cover. Some green treetops in the lower right and left corners.

Asakiyume/Morinotsuma@asakiyume· Jun 25

Little clouds for Wednesday’s #SjyPortrait

Tiny white clouds in the lower right head bravely into the deep blue.

Asakiyume/Morinotsuma@asakiyume· Jun 23

No #SkyPortrait yesterday, but here’s one for this evening.

Mottled gray sky brightening in the middle in ripples like the edge of an oyster shell.

Asakiyume/Morinotsuma@asakiyume· Jun 23

Sunday Solstice #SkyPortrait

Asakiyume/Morinotsuma@asakiyume· Jun 21

Walnut split its heart open and grew a seedling ...

A walnut nut split open with roots coming out the bottom and a shoot out the top. The heart of the nut is heart shaped. Dirt clings to the roots.

The same nut from further back, so you can see the shoot, which has grown into a walnut seedling. The plant is resting on weathered wood.

Today’s cheerful #SkyPortrait

Clouds trying to take on fun shapes in a deep blue sky.

Asakiyume/Morinotsuma@asakiyume· Jun 19

Archetypal cumulus clouds for today’s #Skyportrait

An exhausted jaguar was discovered on the Leticia campus of Colombia National University. It was taken in so it could receive fluids, etc., but fled on Wed. night, possibly frightened by fireworks. It was later seen on the grounds of a high school. Hoping it gets back to the forest w/out incident!
