SkyWatch

A storm rushes across the fields.
For a brief moment a few rays of sun escape the dark clouds.

Hello Marnie. My name is Lisa. I have seen your comments on Anico, Nature Trail and Flydragon's posts. Your pictures are great. I always love nature shots. That's mostly what I try to do, but sometimes I just can't get out to get the good shots, so I get stuck photographing things around the house. Hope to see you stop by my blog soon.

Gorgeous! "Blue skies" are what we all seem to want to achieve, but nothing makes a sky (or life!) more beautiful than a few clouds!

Thanks for stopping by Prairie Visions!

A late visit (but still on a Friday) from ViennaDaily.

I like looking at these kind of sunlight coming out from the clouds, I saw them sunlight today, too bad I forgot to photograph them since I am still in awe while skywatching...so thanks for sharing yours! Happy weekend!

walk2write said...

These clear days and cool temps make sky-watching irresistible. It's even difficult to pay attention to the road when I'm out on the highway. The clouds, the amazing brightness, the brilliant blue can put me in a trance if I'm not careful. Look out, fellow Illinoisans!

Max-e said...

That is a stunning photo. Have a great weekend

Sherri said...

Unknown said...

I hope you didn't get wet at all. Or did the cloud pass over before the heavens opened?

André Lemay said...
