Sky Watch!!

Summer afternoon . . . summer afternoon - the two most beautiful words in the English language.
                                                                                - Henry James
 
Welcome to Sky Watch!! Join us each week and share the beauty of your skies!!  We've had such wonderful weather that our skies have been a bit dull, plain old blue!! I had to dig in the files for some more colorful ones!! Enjoy!



I go to nature to be  soothed and healed, and to have my senses
      put in order.

    Those are wonderful sky shots from your archive, Sylvia. Our skies are very clean blue too, I was so lucky to see some soft feather clouds.
