Face in the Clouds -SkyWatch Friday

I was only a little stunned when I looked up to see this gentle giant smiling at me from the sky.  It reminds me of the stone face on Mars which looks so human.  Maybe they're related?

Have a great weekend and keep looking up this Skywatch Friday.

Creepy Eyes in the Sky -SkyWatch Friday

I don't know about you, but this cloud formation kinda creeps me out. What caught my attention first was the squarish opening set into the cloud.  But then I saw the eyes.  Can you see them?

Have a lovely weekend and Happy Skywatch Friday. Keep looking up, you never know what you might see! 

Columns of Clouds -SkyWatch Friday

This is a photo of some clouds which appeared over the back fence a few years ago.  Such beautiful clouds--one can imagine all kinds of things in these columns.  

"Do you know the balancings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him who is perfect in knowledge..."  Job 37:16  

 

 Have a lovely weekend and Happy Skywatch Friday--it is nice to be back. 

Cloud Hand -Skywatch Friday

This isn't geometric, for sure.  However the shape of this cloud is intriguing.  To me it looks like a giant hand in the sky.

It has been awhile since I have joined in with Skywatch Friday--I haven't been much for posting here since my husband passed away.  It is nice to be back. 

Have a lovely weekend dear Friends, and Happy SkyWatch Friday!  

Harvest Moon -Skywatch Friday

Last night was the full moon.  Here you see my shot of the moon cradled by the leaves of the trees. 

Not only is it full, but it is called a Harvest Moon.  In the  not so distant past, before there were lights and electricity, farmers would harvest their crops by the light of the the full moon.  The Harvest Moon is different every year. In 2014, the it comes one month after the year’s closest and largest full moon, which was August 10th.  In some months, the full moon orbits closer to the earth others and so it appears bigger.  Because of this, last night's Harvest Moon counts as what they call a Super Moon.  Fascinating, don't you think?

When I look up at the moon I am in awe of its perfect round shape--how it just hangs there in space.  I have read all the scientific data on why it stays there--but I am ever bewitched and enchanted by the beauty of a full moon.  This was posted earlier in the month, but I thought all my SkyWatch friends would enjoy these pictures of this month's super full moon.

Storm's A' Coming -SkyWatch Friday

I was so amazed by the luminous colors over the fields and the straight lines of glory in the far hills.  I couldn't help but stop to take pictures.

So perfect for SkyWatch Friday!

Jagged -SkyWatch Friday

Early this Summer I caught this magnificent cloud in the skies.  The angular lines contrasted with the softer wispy clouds were so eye-catching.  My camera didn't do these clouds justice.

Here is a rounded spindle shaped cloud I caught peeking at me over the back fence.  If you love clouds as much as I do--join SkyWatch Friday to see all the amazing things to be found by looking up.  Happy SkyWatch Friday and have a lovely weekend.

Blue Parallelogram -SkyWatch Friday

I happened to take this photo in February the day after our chimney fire.  I was taken the unusual appearance of a near parallelogram in the sky. 

Such beauty in the skies--somehow looking at those sky pictures, I felt hope as we are looking for the contractors to actually begin the restoration of our home sometime next week.

Gathering of Three -SkyWatch Friday

I caught this gathering of three puff clouds over our back yard awhile back.  I was fascinated by the way they looked.  I can see all kinds of animals and faces in this odd set of clouds.

Survivor -SkyWatch Friday

I took this picture near The Dalles, Oregon.  Can you see the oval etched against the skies?  It is perfectly face-shaped.  This striking oval is an unusual formation to discover in the branches of a tree.  

Last August this oak tree was scorched by the flames of a forest fire, yet it lives.  There is new growth beneath the painful burning.  It is a beautiful reminder of hope in the midst of hardship.This photo brings to mind one of the beautiful Psalms of David. 

"He (or she) is like a tree planted by streams of water 

That yields its fruit in its season, 

And its leaf does not wither."  

~Psalm 1:3

Have a lovely weekend.

Sprawling Glory -SkyWatch Friday

I was stunned by the sheer beauty of the clouds last week.  This is just a sample.  In fact, the glorylight beneath the clouds is in the shape of a heart.

Blue Sky Heart -Skywatch Friday

At first I didn't notice the huge blue heart in the sky.  Isn't it beautiful?  I was in awe of the clouds that day.  In fact, I believe if you look closely, there is something in that cloud to the right.  Two eyes?  Or maybe an faery bending toward the heart with a wand in her hand...it is hard to say.  What do you see?

Purple Blue Cloud Heart -SkyWatch Friday

Yesterday there were the most amazing clouds--like a patterned mosaic across the sky.  There's a heart there, but also a baby face.  What do you see?
