The month of August has brought us many days of clear blue skies filled with stacks of bright, fluffy clouds. One day I started to the super market, but was drawn to the skies. I just had to chase the clouds.
I stopped along the way to photograph the horizon.
I stopped at an athletic field, and found some crepe myrtle blooming nearby, which looked so pretty in the foreground.
I made it all the way to the super market, and stopped in the parking lot.
On the way home, the clouds were behind me.
Couldn't resist pulling into the local airport to see how they looked from there.
The next days were pretty much the same.
One day I took pictures of clouds above a small circus that came to town.
I find it very hard to ignore big marshmallow clouds. I may have to start walking with the rim of my hat pulled low and my head down.
Please go to Sky Watch, hosted by the team: Tom, Sandy, Imax and Klaus, and visit lots of others with wonderful photos.

The first picture is gorgeous. It's as if the clouds have shaped up to mirror the trees underneath.
Clouds riding blue skies is among the most wonderous moments to experience. Puts one in the mood to hum a tune - of the open skies.
This is a great collection of Sky Watch pictures. I do love that crepe myrtle picture the most.
Oh Bobbie, please stand up tall and face the clouds! Some day you may find a message written for you up there?
Happy Skywatching, I like the rear view mirror a lot, that mirror (or one like it) shows up on my blog every now and then. :-)
I have posted some Pretty clouds over Guatemala today.

Bobbie, Very lovely pictures. Has anybody said shopping can't be fun.

The cape myrtle is so nice! I suspect it wouldn't grow in my part of Ontario though.
Funny how Sky Watch gets us to look UP, isn't it?
great series of sky pictures.
I love the framing of the crepe myrtle. It is such a beautiful flower on those long branches. We have them in our street.
Denise: a nice series of captures.
Bobbie, Your skies are just gorgeous. What joy you convey in your photos.
A superb collection of photos.Erm, did you remember your shopping? :)
You have a string of good days it seems. Pretty collections of shots here.
What a marvelous series of sky shots around town. I love the first one on the horizon.
'Chase the clouds' - I like that thought.

Great photos. The crepe myrtle is the best for me. I love the contrast.
I love that first photo, but like the whole set.
Bobbie, Great set of photos! I'm surprised you even made it to the grocery! I love the story and the photos! Well done as usual...
A great set of cloud pictures... I hope you get many visitor around here to see these..
These are all just wonderful! My favorites are the lovely crepe myrtles and the circus!
nice grouping of shots love the flower one the best
Great shots - aircraft will always draw me.
That is a beautiful series of photographs. I always love seeing the fluffy white clouds.
On my blog you said about living here 23 yrs. and never going to see the elk-I was 45 years old when I first went and had lived in Pa. all of my life, but that first trip resulted in me becoming addicted to seeing and photographing these majestic animals.
All those blue skies...what wonderful weather..please send some to NY state....
It does seem that August skies are full of bright blues and fluffed up clouds. Great photos.
I love being able to just stop and take a few photos along the way somewhere, it makes it an adventure!
Your two first pictures make me relaxed. Me like :-)
I must say that you have a nice collection of sky pictures here. It would be hard for me to choose just one.
What beautiful skies!
great photo shots
Love that second one with the crepe myrtle (if that's what it is). Happy Sky Watch!
Beautiful! I love summer clouds!
All your pictures are wonderful. I like how you framed your crape Myrtle towards the sky. Happy SWF.
Love the rear view mirror - are clouds really closer than they appear?!
These are beautiful! I especially love the first two. Stunning in their beauty!
Yes, we had some big marshmallow clouds here this week, too. Love all your photos! :)
The clouds are beautiful and the sky looks such a bright blue. Reminds me of a child lying on the ground staring up at the sky and trying to make figures out of the clouds.
nice series of SW photos!
What a wonderful collection of Sky photos for Sky Watch . . . thanks for sharing!
Hello! All very beautiful, but I love the one over the circus tent and the mirror. Beautiful.
We have had some really spectaclur skies here lately. Lisa
hey bobbie...nice shots...august has certainly been nice and full of these big puffy clouds...I keep thinking i need to grab some shots myself.
Much more fun than shopping. Chasing clouds, and such nice ones is a joy. Good on you. I never stir without my camera either.
These are the sort of skies I would have loved to have had when I was in the highlands a few days ago. Lovely Sky Watch series.
I am back in the blogsphere.
Great series of pics. Have a great SWF! :-)
Loved the shots Bobbie, you have presented a beautiful collection today.
You have so many gorgeous Sky Watch photos here. I think my favorite one is of the crepe myrtle. It looks so pretty. Have a great weekend, Bobbie.
What a fun excursion--thanks for taking me along. Those clouds are amazing--so keep looking up.
Happy weekend!
What amrvellous collections, No favourites, but I am drawn to reflections.
"I may have to start walking with the rim of my hat pulled low and my head down."
Oh no you don't. Your photos of the sky are always amazing and I look forward to seeing them.
Don't ever stop.
Bear((( )))
Beautiful clouds, Bobbie, but I was more attracted to your text because of your cloud chasing spirit I detected there. One of my most pleasurable pastimes is to let the outdoors and rural roads be my guide. As I go out the door I often say, "I'll be back when I get here", for my husband knows that my camera and I are wanderers.
Some gorgeous skies, bobbie! How lucky you are for Skywatch Friday! :)
Great set. Have a good weekend.
So pretty. I love the shot from your side mirror!
Wellnow I know where the blue skies are hiding! Thanks so much for your comment.

I truly enjoyed your tour of the clouds! "Couldn't resist pulling into the local airport to see how they looked from there," how telling, brought a big smile to my face. ;-)))
Apologies for getting here so late .. yesterday was the next to last 1/2 day Friday and I flew out of the office and onto a train to go to Beacon NY to spend the day with a friend who was celebrating his b'day....
Your photos are all so good!
