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.

    Hildred, these are fantastic captures! It looks as thought the clouds are playing in the sky, seeing who can build the biggest castle!! Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

    Very interesting cloud formation. But Mr. Sun needs to stick around and start melting all of snow!
