Laughing and Crying Out Loud with Earth

Happy Flowers in Flower boxes at local Artisan Shop


Sometimes, Earth needs a good laugh,
~
Sometimes, she starts to cry...

Virga
{wisps of rain or snow, seen trailing from clouds, that evaporate before reaching the earth}

{Photos of Virga taken on my way home from work.}

Virga subsides and tears dry.



~ Now turn that little pout around ~

Okay

Now, Earth,
you're giggling!

Thank you, Lord,
for this amazing planet we enjoy.

Dear Family and Friends,
~ Have a happy, happy weekend ~

Enjoy it All

Love,

Thank you to our Sky Watch Friday hosts:

  3. Oh Maria...these images are amazing. Last night our weather was having one major temper tantrum...our power was even out for awhile. I need some smiles today..our sweet grade ones are going to the zoo today...all the animals will be huddled away...rain boots will be mucky and umbrellas will be turned inside out by the wind...sigh!
    Have a great day at home...hope all is well with you and I don't have to worry about your Dr. appointment.

    hugs hugs and more hugs. xoxoxo

  8. Virga is so difficult to photograph well. I oftentake pics of virga over Lake Champlain and The Adirondack Mountains, but contrast seems to be a constant challenge re posting them to the web.

    Thanks for your post.
