Oooh, Shiiiinyyyy!

Distractions. What distracts you? That’s the question from The Daily Post this week.

For me, it’s the sky. I can be walking from my bedroom to the kitchen or the bathroom and be stopped in my tracks by the view of the expanse of sky from my balcony doors.

So out I go, no matter the weather, to grab a shot. Here are a few of my favourites:

Except for the hot air balloon shot (Olympus OMD EM5) the rest are all iPhone shots.

And the final two shots are within a few minutes of each other, it’s amazing how quickly the sky can change.

    Nothing like a good skyscape and these are fabulous, and the balloons an absolute bonus. Up up and away!

    Fab shots. I totally get how distracting the sky can be. My office faces west and I definitely have a “moment” around sunset!

    These are fab shots, and the balloon captivated me. This is my kind of distraction too.. This morning I went to the roof, still wearing pj’s, to catch the sunrise. ๐Ÿ˜‰
