Skyward

Now, if God made the clouds so beautiful, did He not mean us to gaze upon them and be thankful for them? 
~Alfred Rowland

For once you have tasted flight you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skywards, for there you have been and there you will long to return.
Leonardo da Vinci
John Ruskin
Dark clouds become heaven's flowers when kissed by light. ~Rabindranath Tagore, Stray Birds
Jingles has the right idea.
Keep  looking up.

    So beautiful. I love the clouds here in Florida, but right now as the sun is coming up the sky is clear and sunny. No clouds right now, maybe later. Hope you handled your boy leaving okay, not easy is it?

    Great message and beautiful photos :)

    We're experiencing a beautiful heat wave here in Central Illinois right now - high of 45 warm degrees today and looks like it's going to stay like this for the week - woo hoo!! Considering we were below zero, this feels warm enough to wear just a light jacket. It's lovely and sunny. Jim and I are off on a drive to Chicago to pick up yet another new old car for our family - probably going to be for Sarah, as it's newer than the one she drives currently.

    Have a great evening,
    Linda

    Beautiful photos. I love looking a clouds and seeing the beauty within them. We have had snow, fog and snow here. No clouds for days. No blue sky either. Just solid white. I am ready for spring and some clouds!
    Blesings,

    I too love looking at the sky. Seriously these pictures could have been taken here this past week.
    The sun and clouds at sunset have been changing the colour of the world.
    Thank you for sharing.
