Bottletree Sunrise: Skywatch Friday!

The jets around Joshua Tree/29 Palms were really active last weekend, and helped to paint up the sky a little!  This is a sunrise shot (photo credit:  GB).  As usual, I was still asleep!!

Here's my wife's "bottle tree" in the foreground and a great sunrise in the background.  Again, photo credit goes to GB.  This seems to be a trend?!!  Give me credit for knowing a good photo when I see one!!

For more great skies from around the world, please

    The desert always produces the greatest skies. We once had a nice bottle tree with white christmas lights stuffed up in each bottle. Can't have those things where we live now. That's okay though.

    A fun piece of folk art. How do you make a bottle tree?

    Gorgeous skies and the bottle tree is great. Please show us how...
    Wonder if it has a metal frame.

    Yah, I have a bottle tree too. It is really fun collecting the bottles. Below is where I got mine. It is a big metal frame, and you just slip your bottles over the metal poles. I suggest the smaller-sized bottles. If you Google bottle-tree bottles, you can even buy THOSE online, lol, but you can find small wine and colored oil bottles at Dollar store, and etc. Enjoy! Oh PS, I love the morning shots. Thank you Marines. :-)

    Nice pics...glad GB is an early riser.

    The bottle tree, holding up well in the brutal elements, love the colors.

    Nice others are interesting in having one of their own - mine was covered with empty wine bottles, oops.

    Your photos are really great. I wonder if the lines in the sky are "natural" or have been "drawn" by planes. Thank you very much for visiting my blog.
