This summer I have seen so many foggy mornings and foggy early evenings that aside from may be 5 days of hot temperatures, I would have thought we missed summer altogether.
Today again, as I drove from my house to work (21 miles) @ 9:45 to 10:15 , there's nothing but fog. I know later in the day the fog will eventually burn and the sun will shine for a little while.
But as soon as I clock out at 7 pm tonite, I am pretty sure the commute will be fog-shrouded again. So I thought I'd show you how the sky has been around, as I've seen it. This was a February snap though. I have nothing new to show, but this gives you an idea.
I call this shot, HANGING AT THE Y.
SKYWATCH is a weekly gathering of sky lovers and skywatchers. Why don't you join us?

Like the birds chillin' on the light... sorry about your foggy days.
Another awesome one!
like this...reminds me of eyes and nose and the birds perched on the eyebrows...how's that.
typical california weather :)
have a fab weekend.
great title and I like the photo.
come visit,

I empathize with you! Until a few days ago it was so cold that we thought we were going to miss summer this year. But it finally arrived! Maybe it's on its way to you. ;-)
that's actually a really neat photo.
Gill in Canada
I really like this shot!
Sad to hear about the weather.
In Sweden we just have had rain all summer.
Better days are coming our way! :)

Sorry to hear it's been so foggy. The birds don't seem to mind. Nice capture.
Love this SWF! The birds made me smile, and your 'title" is hilarious!! (hope my comment takes this time, but you might end up with two)
Yup.
Wildflower.
I like this image a lot - so clean and perfect! Great observation!
Almost looks like an Ohio sky
I love this shot. It's like the birds put on a show just for skywatch.
We have had a lot of skies this summer, like the one I showed. Lots of clouds but also the blue breaking through.
brilliant shot!
What a fun photo... hanging at the Y..love it...
The birds make the shot work quite well. We can't help our weather, but we don't have to like it! ;-)
Sometimes the shot is worth the fog, the gray etc etc etc, and this is definitely one of those! And I love the title!
Have a great week!

Fun photo for Sky Watch Friday, how nice of the birds to hang around to add to your picture.
To answer your question, one of my other favorite cities would be Boston, mix of old and new, lots of creative things going on there and lots of photo opportunities.
Fun title and fun capture. The silhouette is a nice image.
Nice "Y" shot. So many birds.
The weather is unpredictable, hazy over here.
Love the title! That looks exactly what they are doing! We haven't had much summer either. Yesterday was hot, though, so I took a cup of tea out to the lawn and am covered in bites!
Janice.
Beautiful shot and composition.
haha. cool! Love that you saw that!
P.S. Re: MJ concert, not sure if I can go I'll be starting school again in september... :D besides, MJ isn't there so I don't think its the same hehe
What a great picture! I like it! I hope you soon see some sunshine on your commute.
Good capture.

You wrote a great title of this post! Its like a song! You captured this shot beautifully! We have gloomy skies in the morning and muggy during the day.

I love what you call this, Mia. You've got quite the imagination. :)
It looks like a bird convention at the lamplight...
Nice resting place. Beautiful skywatch shot.
Very original and beautiful SWF photograph.
This was a great spot by you!
PC: It makes you wonder what all the birds are waiting for. Nice capture in the sky.
hanging at the Y indeed.:P
i love foggy mornings in your part of the world.
Cute name for your photo. Looks like the birds enjoy it and don't mind the fog too much.
I like the geometry of this. Cute shot.
This is a fun photo. I love how birds gather.
spirithelpers
in my case, i really like fogs because i rarely experience it here in manila. it's just smog. hehehe...
I love the way your light pole spreads its wings for the birds to roost on. Nice shot.
great capture!
So sweet!
Boy we're having Summer here in Hawaii -- hot, hot, hot! I'd like some cool I think.
I like the way you got those little birds all lined up in a row. Nice capture.
that's a perfect shot! how they look perfect perching on the Y!
I wonder if they would every chirp YMCA for you!
The shape of the lights makes me think of the silhouette of a bird high in the sky.
cool!!! it's foggy there and it's hazy here. although it's getting better these days. hopefully i'll be able to catch a good sunset one of these days.
Lovely sky photo. Love the way you captured the birds on the lamppost. Have a nice weekend.
It's grey, but your picture is oké.
I hope you'll see the sun soon.
Enjoy your weekend
If you had foggy weather, we're having a muggy week here in NY. Too bad! I'd rather have a foggy day, it's gives more drama to photos.
Wow beautiful picture perfect photo! Those birds look like they sit in pairs!
I would love to join Skywatch one day!
Well spotted Maria :)
Have a great weekend.
Great photo!
Definitely a kewl shot ;--)
Love your 'name' for it too! I can relate to foggy mornings all summer ... it can't be almost fall can it? Thanks for dropping by my sunset mosaics at Sacred Ruminations. I shared early morning skies at Small Reflections ;--)
Hugs and blessings,
Birds and people all watching the sky. Great capture!

That looks so funny! The birds look as if they are trying to keep "the scales" in balance! Good one!
That's a great photo. Funny how birds love to sit on poles and telephone wires.
Love the graceful arms of the lamp post. The birds seem to like it!
Great shot - this makes me smile big time. Happy weekend!
What a great photo! It makes me smile. Wonderful idea and very nice shot.
Have a happy skywatching and hope your foggy sky will change soon.
Our group of Magpies like our light pole to survey the neighbourhood.
Very nice! I like this image! :-)
I think your title captures your picture perfectly.
Oh this is a great one. It could also have been a scene from Birds - a horror movie of years ago :-)
