In spite of all the whining I do about winter and gray skies, we've actually had the mildest winter on record!! Go figure! And for what it's worth, they are predicting lovely weather for the next week. So, we're having some sun, some blue skies, but also some incredibly beautiful, colorful clouds so this week I'm focusing on them. Maybe if I'm nice to them, they'll let more sunshine slip through!
More varied than any landscape was the landscape in the sky, with islands of gold and silver, peninsulas of apricot and rose against a background of many shades of turquoise and azure.

You always have such interesting clouds, Sylvia. The skies in Hawaii above my home in Foster Village are either clear blue or completely cloudy. I prefer clear blue. LOL.
