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.

ReplyDeleteGreat pictures. Cloud formation are cool.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeletePearl. That's 30, right? Congratulations! Good eye... nice catch with that cloud formation.
ReplyDeleteG'day from Australia.
ReplyDelete~~Pearl in a shell~~ is such a good description!
Happy pearl wedding! Nice to hear that.
ReplyDeleteIt 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...!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, especially when enlarged!
ReplyDeleteI love the pearl photograph. What a timely coincidence.
ReplyDeleteAlways enjoy your posts!! Not only because you are from Iowa but because they are so good!!
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteCool SW shot, who would have thought to look for a pearl in the sky!
ReplyDeleteThanks 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

ReplyDeleteNice, Jeannelle! I have a gift for you on my site.
ReplyDeleteJeanelle: Thse are some great captures for SWF.
ReplyDeleteI 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!

ReplyDeleteHey, hey.....this is cool! SkyWatch is fun and brings lots of comments!
ReplyDeleteThanks 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.
ReplyDeleteAwesome post & pics Jeannelle! I loved blowing up the Queene Anne's Lace, it looks like a painting. Well done.
