Sky Watch Friday



Happy New Year everyone!

I'm starting the new year by cheating a little. I did not take these pictures - my son-in-law took this one, with a cell phone camera. I find this amazing, because it is so clear and beautiful. Must be a really great cell phone! He lives in California, and this is a yucca-agave in bloom, with a beautiful sky overhead. Thanks, Mike.



On the other hand, a few days later - Christmas Day to be exact, my daughter took this picture, also near their home. Thanks, Kitty. Even in sunny California, the skies can change drastically.




The team that brings us Sky Watch each week deserves our thanks: Sandy, Louise, Wren, Fishing Guy, Klaus and Ivar. Please go to Sky Watch to see many Beautiful skies, and join in yourself. It's fun!

Really beautiful photos -- I occasionally use one of my kids photos, too as they are a lot better with the camera than I am. Thanks for sharing!

The Yucca just starting to flower and very turbulent, great volume of clouds gathering up the Californian sky, are a beautiful contribution to SWF.
Happy New Year, Bobbie.
