Sky Watch Friday

Wispy clouds, in the backyard.

6 AM, the sun illuminating the flowers on the palm tree.

A hawk, looking for lunch.
All of these were taken in Murrieta on the same day.



To visit other participants go to Skywatch Friday.
You'll see beautiful skies from all over the world.

    These are all gorgeous shots. The hawk looks very contented while looking for lunch. The blue in the first shot is fantastic and I love the whisp of a cloud.

    Look at that luscious blue sky!

    I'd never have guessed that you had palm trees in Murrieta.

    Amazing how blue your skies are! Why do I always assume Southern California is covered in smog?
