Cottonwoods and blue sky~SkyWatch Friday 012111

We've had beautiful, clear blue skies here in southern California the last several days. On Sunday, I drove up to work my horses and spotted these cottonwood trees along one road. I looked closer and saw some buds starting to come out on them, but for now they look bare against the blue sky. SkyWatch Friday for January 21, 2011.

I love the brilliant blue sky and the bare trees awaiting spring. Great sky shot.

Bare trees against fabulous blue skies - they are like poems! Great shot.

Cottonwoods, full or bare, are the most nostalgia-bearing trees in the world for me. The power station along the aqueduct south of Lone Pine is called Cottonwood, and I spent several happy childhood summers there while my grandfather managed the plant. Nowadays, whenever I catch that aspeny smell, I'm transported. Thanks for reminding me!
