One afternoon the clouds were so beautiful that I had to stop what I was doing and take photos. Sometimes the sky seems to reach up to heaven. I hope you enjoy them.

Sky Watch Thursday With Flowers
One of my favorite linky parties is Sky Watch Thursday. The skies shared cover the range from sunrise to sundown and lots of beauty in between. Today my post is my view of the Florida blue skies over flowers. First is the view from the front yard over my frangipani tree. It was late afternoon and my front yard was in shade. (My house faces east and the sun crosses my house mid day.)

Florida Skies
Winter is a time for cold, ice, snow, and often dark, gray skies for many people living in the north. I grew up in Tennessee and moved to Florida in my 20’s to escape the gray. Seasonal Affective Disorder hadn’t even been defined then as that happened in the next decade. I just knew I was happy and more energetic in the Florida sun.
A Beautiful Day in The Neighborhood
I love living in Florida – blue skies, puffy clouds, and lots of sunshine. One morning I was driving to the market and had to pull in a side street to snap a couple of cloud photos. The sky seemed to reach to heaven.
Valley of Fire
My nephew James and his wife Heather went on vacation in June. This is the first post from their vacation photos. Thank you James!
Valley of Fire State Park is a public recreation and nature preservation area covering nearly 46,000 acres located 16 miles south of Overton, Nevada. The state park derives its name from red sandstone formations, the Aztec Sandstone, which formed from shifting sand dunes 150 million years ago.
Back several decades ago, I visited Las Vegas for the first time. My favorite memory from that visit is the Valley of Fire. You drive in the mostly tan and brown desert until you go over a hill and see a red valley with beautiful red formations. It looked to me as though the red boulders were pushed up out of the ground. Yes I had my little Kodak back then, but you really don’t want to see the bad photos I took. Let’s enjoy James’ pics.
Early Evening June 12th
Last Saturday was a beautiful day here in Central Florida with blue skies and of course, lots of sunshine and heat. Around seven PM is a great time to stretch my legs and take a little walk down the street. The sun is lower in the sky and the heat of mid-day has lessened. There is a slight breeze in the air.
Blue Sky & Clouds
Have you ever had to stop the car because the sky is unbelievably beautiful? This particular day I had my camera and parked to quickly try to capture the moment.
Blue Skies in Florida
For the last few months, we’ve had lots of rain here in Central Florida. I had rain daily for 2 weeks while storms came into the Gulf. It doesn’t rain all day but by afternoon or early evening the heat drives moisture into the air and the showers come a shore. In between, we have blue skies although there are sometimes darker looking clouds lingering in the sky. Luckily, we have not had a hurricane or strong tropical storm land in our area. My prayers go out to those in areas that have flooded, had the hurricane winds hit, or faced a raging fire. Hope you are having great weather wherever you are. Here are a couple of shots of the skies above a lake in the area.
