Skywatch Friday
May 20th, 2011

A beautiful rosy five a.m. sky


followed by a perfectly arched rainbow. which I wasn't able to catch in its entirety, being out in the meadow in my nightie and the rainbow being almost overhead.


it was here one moment, and gone the next.  The skies turned grey and sulky and clouds hung dismally about the hills, but still a lovely way to start the day.
