Spring Clouds: SkyWatch Friday

 Yesterday, I was fortunate to be able to sit outside and work for a few hours.  The deep
 blue of the sky and the amazing capricious cloud formations captivated me.
I love the young Spring-green of the baby leaves and the still-bare branches of trees.
See the streak of the plane in this one (above)?
The temperature was perfect with just a whisper of a breeze.   AAh...the gloriousness of Spring!
 This post is for SkyWatch Friday hosted by Wren, fishing guy, Sylvia, Klaus, and Sandy.

    I love the fact that my son loves to look up at the sky as much as I do. There is something so sweet about watching his two-year-old little face entranced...

    The clouds are indeed beautiful! I love the first shot, where the trees are standing in order of their leaves appearance - lots of leaves, some leaves, only a few leaves! That just strikes me as funny!

    Beautiful sky pictures, Margaret. Isn't Spring just wonderful? By the way, Pansies are an 'annual'.. You have to plant them every year. They won't come back.

    Have a great week.
    Hugs,
    Betsy

    Hi Margaret! Thank you for visiting the House! Southern Ohio skies sure look bluer than Northern Ohio's!

    Margaret - what beautiful pictures - I could almost feel myself floating away with the clouds. I still enjoy watching them and imagining what each shape is.

    These are incredible skies! The clouds are pure cottony white, and the skies so blue!

    Love those southern Ohio skies. You found the perfect word to use in describing our clouds "capricious" I am a cloud watcher
