Early afternoon I braved the heat to shift a dribbling hose,
one look at the sky and back I went for my trusty Nikon
hand-extension.
The sky to the west that first attracted my attention.
Shifting position slightly to south-west and into the deep blue
a subtle turn to south and the blue becomes unbearably beautiful
with the white clouds shifting and veering against it.
and pointing my lens straight up into the depths of the universe,
a ballet of clouds dashing and whirling over head.
Did I shift the hose? Oh yes, after I could untangle my eyes
from the wonder in the sky.
All photos enlarge and the Logo will open the skies of the world to you.
A big thank you as always to our great SkyWatch Team for looking
after us all and providing this spectacular meme.
Stunning! Just looking at those photos transport me to a different place. What it must have been like to see this in person... Wishing you a wonderful day filled with blue skies and wispy clouds and not too much heat! love, Silke
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of spectacular, these skies are just that!
ReplyDeleteThe clouds are a wonderful counterpoint to the beautiful blue sky.
ReplyDeleteFantastic! I probably would have forgot all about moving the hose.
ReplyDeletewonderful cloud photos!
ReplyDeleteWow. Just excellent shots - all lovely and all so different.
ReplyDeleteThose clouds look to be racing across the sky. Better to take pics than move the hose anyway.
ReplyDeleteStunning captures, these clouds make for a perfect sky watch post
ReplyDeleteSuch glorious movements caught as they moved so swiftly with the gentle hands of wind, love the depth of colour in the blue hue~
ReplyDeleteAh, now there are some big blue skies to warm the heart and entertain the eye!

I was sitting and looking at the blue sky and it was very cold today, but I thought about you so I thought I would stop in and say Hello dear Arija...Michelle
ReplyDeleteClouds:
ReplyDeleteThey are beautiful as always and ever.
Each formation none like the other.
Over our heads they hover.
Their glory lifting us from under
Uniting us, not asunder.
Arija..I knew when you weren't posting much that you weren't feeling well. Sometimes it seems that there is one health issue after another. The only thing I can say is that it makes us appreciate the days that we feel better... so many take it for granted. I am doing ok, thank you asking, nothing major, just the daily challenge. I do hope you feel better as you are much loved in the blogging world...Michelle
ReplyDeleteBrilliant skies!!! As usual, Arija!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful skies!!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful sky. I love those swirling clouds against the blue.
ReplyDeleteOh, Arija. This makes me feel like I'm lying on my back on the grass, arms splayed, just watching the clouds swirl and drift by. I could stay here all day....
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful diversion!
ReplyDeleteYou have inspired me to look UP and see what is above!! Time to take my hand at a few of my own cloud pictures. I enjoyed viewing your work.
ReplyDeleteI love clouds, in fact I watched them maybe too much while I was in grade school, now I follow them around to enjoy them. The endless love affair. Your photos are wonderful
