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.


For more beautiful skies click here and fly across to Skywatch Friday, a great meme for which we are forever grateful.

    I'm glad I'm not the only one who goes out in a nightie.
    Beautiful shots, Hildred, just beautiful.

    Beautiful rainbow! I am glad I am not the only person in the world likely to run out in a nightie to get THAT shot!
    Love the mist in the third shot, too!
