SkyWatch ~ . . . But a Moment in Time


Summer skies, shot within seconds of each other in less than
a minute, with no adjustments whatever.



Quite a lot happening all in the blinking of an eye . . .


This one was taken looking straight up to see the clouds darting
in all directions.



They all enlarge for closer inspection.

With many thanks to the Skywatch team for keeping this great meme afloat.

    That's so beautiful it almost doesn't look real! Have to keep reminding myself that it is warm and sunny somewhere else in the world :)

    Fabulous summer skies! There had to be a lot of upper air turbulence to keep the clouds moving so fast.

    Looks like the weather has a lot swirling around up there. Have you been affected by the heavy rains at all?
