Cotton Candy Sky

     We have been having a heat wave in Illinois the past several days. Last night, a storm rolled in and things got dark, wet and ugly for a while. After that...


We shall find peace.
We shall hear angels,
we shall see the sky sparkling with diamonds.
Anton Chekhov











I am joining Susan @ A Southern Daydreamer
for Outdoor Wednesday.
Please stop and say hello to our hostess!

    These photos are just GORGEOUS, Sue!
    Isn't it amazing when we are looking upward at just the right time! A few moments later and that beautiful sky vanishes into gray.
    I love these divine appointments!

    You should post this for Sky Watch Friday!

    Love the cotton candy sky shots, Sue.

    I just saw your previous post. I have to switch back and forth with IE and Firefox also. Interesting dilemma to say the least!

    Oh My...that SKY!! Wonderful captures of God's handiwork, Sue.

    I also enjoyed reading about your trip to cash in your coins. Very informative.

    I hope you do try the warm potato salad, even without the garlic. I'm sure you'll like it.

    fondly,
    Rett

    What a beautiful sky. I've always said that it's clouds that make a sunset.
