    Those are fantastic skies! I especially love the popcorn in the first one, and the sun and clouds reflecting off the water as that's something I can't see in my part of the world. And thanks for hosting SWF, my favorite meme!

    Beautiful skies, the wit of Mark Twain and the wisdom of Lee Jampolsky, what more could one want to start the day? Except, perhaps, a cup of coffee to go with it.

    Sylvia, your first image of clouds puts me in mind of the tufts from a dandelion floating off into the next paddock.

    I am so glad you have your car back. I found I had to give up my licence last year, and gave my car to my daughter. It took some getting used to, but I go everywhere by public transport now.

    I hope you have a lovely weekend.
