SkyWatch ~ No Stars, Just Shooting Clouds

Shooting clouds? Fluffy, wind driven balloons on strings?



I found this sky show quite exciting, right above part of my
rose-garden on the right. If you enlarge it, you can actually
see the roses.

The Logo opens the skies of the world.

Thanks to the SkyWatch Team for the opportunity of sharing.

    Perfect sky, Arija! I saw the roses too! You are in the midst of summer while we still have frost and a bit of snow.

    No, I haven't been in Australia last year. These photos are from 2006 and 2008. How awful that you were suffering so much from the heat. I hope you are feeling better now. I cannot stand heatwaves either. I was always sick in Indonesia when the weather was too hot and humid. I prefer the Netherlands, even now with ice and snow.

Hope you're feeling better and may you have a great weekend! Oh, and thanks so much for reading my novel and I'm glad you enjoyed it.

    arija, i think it is the sky that reminds us of our place in the great scheme of things. i saw your roses--how happy they are to be part of this vast picture.

    today is a day of collective sadness. our beloved renee is going home, joining her parents and nephew. everyone of us has our own story of how much better we've become because of her. i just want to say i'm sorry for your loss. you can be sure i, and so many others, understand it.

    love
