Suburban Skies 2 (Friday Skies)

Posting a little early this week - I have a busy weekend ahead. Hope I am not in violation of some important rule by putting a Friday Meme post up on a Wednesday!






















We have had more late afternoon / early evening cloud this week. It must be the time of year! This time I found of combination of low angle light, sun light grey clouds and a rainbow. Not a bad combination all in all.















When I look at some of the other images that get posted I do feel more than a little envious of the views of mountains, lakes. But then I walk out into my inconsequential suburban street and find skies like these. So, here's to looking local, as well as dreaming international!



You can find more images of the sky here at Skywatch Friday. You can find my other blog by clicking on the Paying Ready Attention link on the RHS or by looking at the “My Other Blog” tab at the top of the page.

    Sateenkaaresi on mahtavaa katseltavaa.
    On todistettavasti 'luomu-kaari'...
    Minun tuli myös halu katsella sateenkaarta - ei ollut saatavilla.
    Oli tehtävä ohjelmallisesti - ei ole oikean 'väärti' - lainen.

    That rainbow is gorgeous in all its manifestations!

    SKY DITTY

    Sky above and earth below—
    Onward on my way I go;
    Earth below and sky above—
    I am satisfied, my love.

    Come to Kuwait, look at the blue sky, turning slowly grey at the horizon with haze hanging all over it and you envy any other sky out there :D
    I haven't seen a Rainbow in over two years.
    I LOVE these!

    I've never managed to capture a rainbow so I'm quite envious of yours;-)
    The sky is beautiful wherever you are - an ever-changing panorama.

    Beautiful. Have never seen a rainbow coupled with that beautiful ray of light. Loved the last 3 photos most. Hard to pick a favourite!
