Our World Tuesday

It's time once again for Our World Tuesday, a weekly meme that encourages bloggers to share images of their world. It's a great way to get a glimpse of life through the eyes of others! You can find out more about it here. Even if you don't participate, I encourage you to take a look at the intriguing photos that bloggers from around the world share each week.

I took these photos of an airplane's contrail just after sunrise one morning a couple of months ago. I always enjoy seeing the patterns these streaks of water vapor leave in the sky. What I like most about these photos, though, is the softness of the colors. It was a beautiful morning.
 



 
Wishing you all a lovely Tuesday. ☺

  6. nicely done. I like the way you have included the tree branches - they really add to the shot. I haven't seen pink vapour before!
    Have a wonderful week and thanks for stopping by my blog today.

    1. Thanks! My favorite thing to photograph is trees. I liked the way the vapor looked like it was winding between the branches. :)

  7. i have a challenge for you...
    how do you feel, looking at all these trees?
    your feelings could be poetry (no rhyme necessary) and together with your pictures, you could compile a lovely book!

    and you could travel across the country for research and more tree-spiration!

    1. I love your challenge idea! I often write poems inspired by the trees in my photographs. What a cool idea to compile them into a book. :)

      The travel sounds pretty fun, too! Thanks, Tara. Have a great day. ☺

  17. How very cool. Sitting on my deck one day, I counted about 6 of those contrails in the sky at one time. I had to wonder just how many miles apart those planes were when it looked rather like a traffic jam.

  22. I have always loved contrails until three hours ago, when I read on Earth Observatory that they are bad for the environment. I don't know why that had never occurred to me before.

  23. Great catches! You have lovely skies...the contrails do look like punctuation marks!
