Sky Watch Friday!

Time to share your skies, the beauty over your world, the clouds, the colors! Sky Watch is hosted each week by Klaus and the Sky Watch team of Klaus, Sandy, Wren and me. Join us and the many people from all over the world who share theirs with us each week! Click on the post title to be taken to the SWF website where you can sign up.Things are beginning to bloom and we have had some sun and some lovely skies. I'm really looking forward to the new views of skies that I will have from my new apartment! The excitement is growing!! But here are some from the past week! Enjoy!

    You got some nice, airy clouds this week; not the brooding, threatening ones we've been having.
    We both featured Edna St. Vincent Millay today, interesting.

    I like them all, Sylvia, but the first one is filled with drama - almost like white flames in the sky. (Or is that my over-active imagination?)

    I'm visiting you from my school desk... day is over and I'm enjoying a little sky watching before I clean off my desk and organize!

    Oh my goodness, Sylvia... I love this quote:
    Beauty is only temporary, but your mind lasts you a lifetime.

    I'm making a poster of it and putting it on my classroom door today before I leave!
    Thank you for the beautiful inspirations today!
