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!
And the new year is here! Hope it's off to a great start for all of you and may we all find beautiful skies!!
Heavy hearts, like heavy clouds in the sky, are best relieved by the letting of a little water.

    Beautiful skies, the quote by Christopher Morley is so true, I really believe a good cry is so much better than bottling it all up inside. Hopefully no tears in the near future, hope you have a wonderful weekend Sylvia.

    Beautiful shots Sylvia as always. I love the massed clouds obliterating the light in the sky to brighten even more the reflected light in the water.

    Hope all is getting sorted with you my friend and you can look forward to a brighter future.
