SkyWatch ~ Yet Another Sunset

Time to see what the sky is doing and what better way to try

out my new camera. Here are some of the first ten shots I took.

I just went outside to shoot at anything and the sky decided

to put on quite a little show for me.

The clouds changed their character virtually in moments,

creating an unexpected softness,

only to blush a deeper red the next instant.

Hope you all can enjoy whatever the heavens bring your way

and share it with the rest of us on SkyWatch Friday!

SkyWatch ~ Loss . . .

Klaus Peter has left us and gone into the light, darkening my

personal skies. The sky will ever be reminder of the loss of a

wonderful photographer happy in his craft and always willing

to share his expertise . I do hope SkyWatch meme and MY

WORLD, which Klaus so successfully launched, will somehow

continue as a tribute to him.

The world has lost some of it's colour with you passing.

Thank you for being a friend.

I am 700km from home and only have intermittent access

to the net. Please leave a comment to show you have visited

and I will when and if I can.

SkyWatch ~ A Milestone Post

A little more than three years ago I put up my first blog post

little dreaming the great fellowship I would enjoy or the

following I would gather. I never thought my blog was anything

special but over 250 people seem to like it anyway. This is my

500th post and what more fitting than SkyWatch where Klaus

had to log me in for I had no idea how to go about it. I have

always photographed the sky so this meme came as a godsend

to me to show some of my work.

Below is a sunrise last week direct from the camera except for

resizing. All photos enlarge with a click.

The still dark sky as the sun makes up her mind to rub the

sleep out of her eyes.

Growing light as she yawns and stretches . . .

ready to top the horizon

and finally giving us a run for our money blazoning across the sky.

Thank you all for accepting me so generously amongst your midst,

for becoming my friends who brighten up each and every day of

my life with your posts of other parts of the world that too are very

dear to me and I can no longer visit for myself.

Thanks to Klaus, Sylvia, Sandy and Wren for hosting this great meme.

Sorry, no SkyWatch Today

Dear faithful friends who leave me comments,

please do so still. To-morrow, instead of posting

glorious sunrises, if I am lucky, I'll get a glimpse

of blue through a hospital window.

Nothing major. I should, God willing, be able to

join in the next TODAY'S FLOWERS.

Meanwhile, keep well, keep smiling, keep blogging

and enjoy every day you have.
