Sky Watch Friday!

Time to share your skies, the beauty over your world, the clouds, the colors! Sky Watch is hosted each week by  the Sky Watch team of  Sandy, Wren and me. And this week as every week, we remember Klaus and know that he joins us in spirit! Join us and the many people from all over the world who share theirs with us each week! Click on the address under the post title to be taken to the SWF website where you can sign up.

We've had quite a variety of skies this week as summer moved out and fall stepped in! Once again I've spent a lot of time on the roof enjoying the flowers and the skies, the colors, the cloud formations and sunsets. These are the skies I want to share with you today. One in particular -- the next to last photo -- it looked to me as though the trees were cupped palms holding up the setting sun.  It did take my breath away!


Hope your week is going well! Love, laugh, enjoy and be thankful!

  35. Your skies are a wonder to behold, as is your new header, it is worth coming over just to see the header, let alone the wonders from your camera. Breathtaking skies, especially the last three. The last one is like odd sea creatures swimming at speed.

    Have a wonderful weekend with lots more glorious skywatching from the roofgarden.
