Sky Watch Friday - Post 29

We CAN have blue skies here! I got the proof earlier this week, before the rain (again.) Yesterday was a no rain day, also, but the sky was so unclouded it was not very interesting, Sky Watch-wise, anyway.
Sky Watch Friday (which actually starts on Thursday evening, Greenwich Mean Time (England), is hosted by Tom Wiggers at Welcome to Wiggers World. Please visit his blog to see wonderful sky photos from around the world! It's worth the time.

    Skies are always interesting if you use your imagination... in this case it is beautiful in the blues and the whites and the greens... great contrasts... fantastic photo!

    The trees in front of the sky makes the sky interesting!

    Love your picture - you had a blue sky with the intensity I did here in CT when I took my SWF photo. My Missouri parents have said blue MO skies have been scarce this spring! Stay safe in all those storms.

    I love the deep blue sky with fluffy, white clouds. When it gets hot here (4 days above 95 this week), we get a lot of haze which detracts from the sky. Thanks for visiting my Sky Watch.

    A beautiful Skywatch sky, Pat, but I know you are getting more of those thunderstorms this evening. They have already passed through our part of the state, but seem to be intensifying to our south. Stay safe and dry.
