I love sun rays filtering through the clouds. I love it.

Lovely sky shot!
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.
Lisa
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!
Spectacular photo Marnie. I love how you captured the light streaming down.
Really nice capture! Happy SkyWatching!

Love your photo too. The rays just shine through perfectly.
Thanks for dropping by
cute and gorgeous! I like it..
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!
Breathtaking shot and I love the panorama look.
Exquisite!

Oh, that is just stunning! Happy SWF. :)
That is fabulous! I love the light shining down over the dark. Such a great metaphor. Peace!
Very beautiful and inspiring!
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!
That is a stunning photo. Have a great weekend
What a beautiful picture-thanks so much for sharing with us!!
I hope you didn't get wet at all. Or did the cloud pass over before the heavens opened?
Very beautiful, I also really like the pictures of the flowers this week.
That is just gorgeous. I needed that silver lining. Thanks for providing it.
