Sky Watch - Post 48

I don't know if it's because I've just been to a worship service, but I always have an inclination to look UP when I walk out of the church building into the parking lot. Is it coincidental that I nearly always see a beautiful sky?

SKY WATCH is brought to you by our friends Tom, Sandy, and Imac, and the new home page of Sky Watch Friday may be found here. I invite you to visit the Sky Watch postings of several hundred folks from around the world. Links on the home page are added starting at 7:30 p.m. Greenwich Mean Time (England) on Thursdays. Enjoy!

    You have captured what you have seen very well. And it is nearly always worth while looking up. I now notice the sky all the time and sometimes feel like a storm-chaser.

    Pat - that brioche bread recipe takes time but not much effort. The time is in the rising. The actual amount of time you spend making it is very small.

    I've been having BIG problems with Blogger today - it is causing my browser to crash and the background graphics on my recipe blog and my blog about France have gone missing....
