Hi Gretchen, thanks for the visit! A great blog here. A lovely sky for Friday too....it's night here right now. I have just put my goose to bed in his hut, awaiting hubby from work then it's a chinese take away and a bottle of wine!

Hope you have a great night too.

I went back and saw your last Skywatch photo, and your trees framing the clouds make yours similar to mine, not the ones I just posted, but the ones I have taken from my yard. Your clouds are lovely!
