    I love the color of the sky in your first photo, but the contrails in the last two are fascinating. You always have such marvelous photos. I hope you have a great weekend.

    Again you make it difficult to pick a favourite, Sylvia...I'll just treat your pics like my children...I love'em all!

    And what's the source of your quotes? You sure know how to pick'em! ;-) Speaking of old age...I got a compliment from the surgeon whe he saw the first x-rays of my worn hip (which is now replaced and working like a charm!): 'I've never seen this much wear with anyone under 60!' Gee, thanks...;-)

    Have a good weekend!

    Hi Sylvia, these are amazing captures. The first one is adorable, but for the last photo I wonder what contributed to those feathery clouds. I thought there might be a jet plane which just left its tails.

    The liquid fire of the first shot just blows me away. All of these are so intensely beautiful. The contrails seem to be reaching for each other as if in prayer.

    I don't know what it is about you, God seems to turn on more magic for you every week than anyone else.
    The first shot is to die for but the last two, especially the last with the snaking contrails, leave me speechless.

    All else aside, you have me LOL as well!
