SkyWatch ~ Angel Wings . . .


Hark, the herald angels sing . . .
spreading their wings across the sky


sometimes just wings


and sometimes with hints of an angel.



A very merry Christmas to all you skywatchers and a fulfilling and
Happy New Year !!!

    Arija, you have changed my cloud viewing forever...I've never *seen* these formations as wings before (not to mention, angels) so I thank you for this.

    The very best of the season to you & yours - oh, make some BIG merry, big as the sky!
