I went to sleep last night wondering what I'd do about a Skywatch post this week, but Mother Nature came through for me again. I took these pictures around 6:15 this morning, as the sun was rising, the moon was setting, and the cows were snickering in the distance. They get such a chuckle when they see me in my pajamas and slippers. Click on the pictures for a better view (of the sky, not of me in my pajamas), and go to the Skywatch home page for views of the sky from around the world.

Gorgeous, Linda. These skies make getting out of bed in the AM worthwhile.
Looks like there were several of us who had to post today's photos. Yours turned out beautifully! Lovely shots - all of them.
OMG! The first one is breathtaking and the last one is another fave too!~
Mine is, HERE.
Wonderful how Mother Nature came to the rescue. She sure put on a great show!
Happy Sky Watch!
Beautiful as always. The colors are wonderful. Have a great week. Check in with me on Sunday, I am starting a 5 week giveaway, that is the first one in a series of 5...you just might get lucky!!
What a perfect pair of skies, the beginning and the end of the day. Love the hazy moon!
The vibrant colors and the mountains in the distance, are all breathtaking. What a wonderful place to wake up to each morning!
Wow! Pretty intense colors! All three are a beauty in its own respect. Happy swf!
What lovely colour and pictures. It would have been nice to see you, Jim Jams or not, well may be I had better watch myself here.
Great sense of humor too it make the world go round.
Have a good week.
Oh my!!! I am jealous of your beautiful Southwestern skies, ours rarely look that colorful in the Midwest. I am skywatching vicariously through you. :-)
Nothing can beat the Southwestern skies! Those are some stunning shots, almost as good as seeing them in person. The cows were probably just jealous of your pajamas, they grew out of theirs and never got replacements.:)
7msn: You were really given a sky gift, how wonderful.
So far, I have been seeing wonderful colorful early morning skies. I think that's the prevailing theme of the week.
Gorgeous colors, btw.
Oh WOW - so vibrant - so colorful! Niiiice shots!!!
As if someone painted the sky. I guess we should thank the artist and the photographer!!
so very pretty!
Gorgeous series! Breathtaking colors!
Great photos, it looks like you live some place beautiful.
I understand about the PJ's!! And absolutely worth it for these gorgeous shots.
Linda, I enjoyed the same sky this morning as I went out to feed our horses. You did a good job in capturing it.
Well done.

Beautiful photos, gorgeous colors. Wonderful word pictures (pjs, slippers, snickering cows). Love and admire your blog, as always.
All beautiful. It makes getting up semi early worth it. MB

That top shot is THE most amazing shot I have seen in eons! Wow.
Love those early morning colors - wow. I think if I could see color like that at sunrise, I just might consider hauling myself out of bed to take some photos!
Breathtaking pics.
You and me both. I was out there in my dressing gown and gum boots hoofing up the hill with the bull bellowing with laughter.
Nice shot, well worth being snikkert at!
Back again, had another look, actually fantastic moon set photos.
I had been looking for a new desktop background photo. Your sunrise photo now greets me and reminds me of how lucky I am to have you for a sister every time I open up my laptop. Phenomenal photos, as usual!
Really out of this world...
Just beautiful... I can hear the cows snickering ;)
All three of those pics are just outstanding!! Well worth the trek out in your pj's...what's a cow know anyhow? ;~)
Purple skies majestic!
Beautiful photos here, the colors in the sky are amazing.
Lovely! Early morning is my favorite time to be out with my camera.
I love the mountains in the background.
Aahh! That makes me feel much better- thanks!
These have the most vivid colors - absolutely wonderful.

WOW!
What a beautiful piece of heaven you have there.
Just gorgeous! Really great shots and very impressive skies--it happens so much in the west--alas, not as vibrant and striking sunrise and sunset in the east! We easterners have to be happy looking at your photos! :-)
