Similkameen Skies

February 18th, 2011


The morning of the 10th of February the sun left his paint brushes behind
and illuminated the clouds with a pretty light, instead


He sent a few cloudy clowns out on a parade....



and lit the undersides of some funnel clouds




A small bit of colour




and a last burst of ethereal light over a misty valley



for more beautiful skies pop over to Skywatch Friday, with thanks to all who
maintain this great meme.
