SkyWatch ~ Crepuscular Clouds


Walked into my sister's house, saw out the balcony window
and grabbed camera . . . snap, caught my breath briefly and


snap, just look at whoever is looking out of that sky!


Half close your eyes and see the mean, angry face in the
middle of the clouds . . . scary what?



Enlarge if you wish . . .

But, whether you enlarge them or not, click on the Logo and add your
skies to SkyWatch!

    Hi there - great pictures. Really like the beans of light. Always a good thing to see - and a good thing to capture.

    Thanks for the location of the wetland - Fathers Day may get in the way of a visit this weekend, but it's on the list.

    When we were kids we had the time to lie back and look at the clouds for faces and creatures. Now we have to look at our pictures after the fact. What does that say about the complexity of our adult lives? - Margy

    Beautiful sky! I do see the scary face!

    I just finished scrolling back a few posts (catching up)and one thing I must say to you: Never ever go anywhere without taking your camera. I loved every picture in every post.

    Egrets are my favorite shore bird. We see them both here in Oregon and in Florida and I never get tired of them.
