Huck, the farm kitty, once again!

SHAPES 

We've had numerous rainstorms in the past week.  They've been accompanied by great winds causing trees to snap and power outages.  A storm blew up as I was driving to the library last Tuesday.  I waited in my car before going in so as not to be drenched to the bone.  I had my camera with me!  So I amused myself.  This is a shot of a store window through my rain-splotted car window.

CLOUDS

such drama in the skies lately!  Here the sky is the bluest blue of fair Summer with puffy white clouds, and some menacing dark thunderous clouds thrown in for effect!

This is a very fun meme hostessed by Ashley Sisk in which 5 prompts are given and one must then take a photo to illustrate each one.  Come see how others have interpreted these words HERE!  (And you'll get to see photos of Ashley's newly born baby girl!)  You have till Tuesday, July 31 at midnight EST to join in.

Next week's words are Going Back in Time, Something Just for Me, Best Part of My Day, Night & Day, Look Up

Quiet

Oh lay on the ground

watching clouds scud across the sky

feel peace and quiet

Oh hear roaring waves

crashing on the sandy shore

feel quiet within

Oh watch the sun dip
down to meet the hungry earth
quietly day ends

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.
