Welcome, SkyWatch Friday readers as you traverse this week's sky scenes from around the globe!

One evening a couple weeks ago I was out driving and saw this cloud formation in the eastern sky which looked like a pearl on its shell. I'm not sure how that little round bit of cloud came to be lighted up that way........a reflection from the setting sun, somehow.
It seemed appropriate because my "Pearl" wedding anniversary was just a few days away! YES.........that's right.........I take cloud scenes very personally!! You should, too!!

Near the spot where I stopped to photograph the pearl cloud was a patch of wispy asparagus stems entangled with some Queen Anne's Lace, whose real name is Wild Carrot. There's a cornfield in the background, too.

The one at the top looks very much like one I took from a plane.
This was very creative of you, to notice that. You have a great eye! This is lovely!
I love these blues!
These are really Pretty!!!
Very pretty! I really like the 2nd one :)
Great pictures. Cloud formation are cool.
I think it's great that you found a "pearl" in the sky so close to your Pearl anniversary! Good eye, Jeannelle. Like your ferns and QALace photo, too.
Pearl. That's 30, right? Congratulations! Good eye... nice catch with that cloud formation.
G'day from Australia.
~~Pearl in a shell~~ is such a good description!
Happy pearl wedding! Nice to hear that.
It does look just like a shell fish with pearl, funny how nature does these kind of things sometimes and just for you.
An early Happy Anniversary...!!
Beautiful, especially when enlarged!
I love the pearl photograph. What a timely coincidence.
Always enjoy your posts!! Not only because you are from Iowa but because they are so good!!
I like to look at clouds, too, and often see the most interesting formations!! But they seem to change so fast some times!! Often when I am driving I will see some fascinating animal in the sky. Of course I can't stop to take a picture most of the time but do enjoy the memory!
Take care.
Very nice catch. Amazing what we see when we really look.
Cool SW shot, who would have thought to look for a pearl in the sky!
Thanks for the linkage and your nice comment and BTW that is one sweet shot in your sidebar with the little lamb.
Have a great weekend

Jeannelle, the shot of the cornfield in the background is lovely :)
p/s: My daughter's name is almost like yours :) Janelle :P
I do like pearls and this one is a beauty!!!!
I liked the personal interpretation you have given to the clouds in the sky. :)
Nice, Jeannelle! I have a gift for you on my site.
Jeanelle: Thse are some great captures for SWF.
I don't know Jeannelle but I think your walks each day have to be the most interesting ever! How in the world do you manage to see something entirely different each day. I am amazed. Maybe I need to open my eyes more!
Every cloud picture is different isn't it? Thanks for visiting my 1st SWF post.
Very subtle sky - contrasts the second pic.
Good personal shot! Congratulations.
First off, happy anniversary! And second I really like the blues and the bottom is a very fun angle.
Great SWF shots. I am also coming to check your blog because Kate gave you an award. I can see why - this is a great blog and I will definitely be back again!
thank you too for a wonderful post!
You have such an eye for beauty in the simple things. I love to come and see what you come up with next.
I like your pearl cloud just perfect for you. Thanks for visiting my first sky watch.
The sky offered him a beautiful gift of marriage with clouds drawn into shell with pearl and unnatural it offered with a buquet of aspasrgos, congratulations.
I thank her visit in my blog.

I love your picture of the pearl cloud!! It's beautiful!
Hey, hey.....this is cool! SkyWatch is fun and brings lots of comments!
Thanks everyone for swinging by to take a peek at my SkyWatch photo and for all your kind words in the comments!!
Hope you get some nice pearls (or the gift of your dreams) for your anniversary. These are both wonderful photos but I especially love the second one with all those wonderful tendrils of green against the blue, cloud-streaked sky.
Awesome post & pics Jeannelle! I loved blowing up the Queene Anne's Lace, it looks like a painting. Well done.
Nice sky watch pictures. Very pretty.
