Sky Watch !!

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! 
To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.

Do you see the outstretched hand holding the tiny cloud? 		 
Do you see the outstretched hand in the sky holding the baby clouds?
To acquire knowledge, one must study; but to acquire wisdom, one must
observe.

    Sylvia, Some of these skies are "inspiring"--just beautiful. How can you look at them and not have "lofty" thoughts! Love the quotes, as always. Have a terrific weekend. I know you will keep busy as you seem to do each and every day. Mickie :)

    That last sunset is mind boggling Sylvia, mother nature at her most glorious.. Yes I did see the outstretched hand holding the small cloud, it's so much fun making cloud shapes I love to do it! and as for Oscar Wilde, just loved his insight! You have a wonderful weekend also Sylvia.
