Dear Family and Friends,
Wishing you skies filled
with sunshine
and
beautiful reminders of the
angels that surround us
in the heavens
and right here among us
~ Thank you for being angels to me ~

 

Each week you will find hundreds of people from all over the world sharing a glimpse of what they discovered while sky watching.

A BIG shout out to our hosts at  Sky Watch Friday
Thank you so much

I am also participating in Friday's Pretties hosted by
the lovely Joyce @ I Love Pretty Little Things.


Beautiful lyrics from an artist that has brought me a lifetime of music and lyrical poetry.
"Both Sides Now"
by
~ Joni Mitchell ~


Most of the photos  were taken this Tuesday evening ~ July 20, 2010
Jason asked Juan to take the "ice cream castles" photo on Wednesday.
Thanks Juan and Jason!

  4. Oh my, your post is stunning. I'm dreaming away in your gorgeous fluffy clouds, sweet Maria. You captured them perfect, just perfect.
    I was touched yesterday when reading you saved one candy chalk for the upcoming school year. You, my sweet friend, a new bunch of candy chalk will fly the blue blue ocean. I will make sure you receive it before the start of classes.
    EnJOY the Summer, I know you do. The sky turned beautifully dark at the moment, I love these moments, children indoors, soft light burning, waiting for the raindrops to be heard at the windows and roof. Sigh... nature gives us much JOY doesn't it? Love coming over here and enjoying a bit of your JOY too.
    Have a happy happy joyful Thursday, sweet Maria xxxx

  8. Oh Maria!
    I do believe I MUST mail you my favorite version of that song!
    I discovered the artist by chance.
    Greg and I were flying into London.
    We had been drifting into dreamland through out the flight!
    Early the next morning I awoke...
    as we were making our way into london...
    just before dawn...
    I awoke to the most heavenly version of that song!
    As soon as I got to London I went and picked up the cd!
    Every time I hear this version of this song it brings that MAGIC...DREAMY moment back!
    I'll email it now!
    Love the sky pics!
    And adore YOU!

  18. Sweet Maria, I cannot thank you enough for your encouraging words. Your comments always brighten my day.
    I love clouds too. These days our skies are filled with gorgeous cumulus clouds, and I see all sorts of wonderful images in them. It makes my head spin!

  21. Maria, these are just beautiful and those first ones really do look like angel hair, don't they? I have always loved angel hair. I remember being mesmerized by it even as a young girl.

    And in response to your sweet comments about my blog--no, it is not a new template--same one I have had--I think making the background a solid color and the new photoshop banner give it a little cleaner look. But you know me, good luck if I keep it that way very long--

    I'm finally learning a little more about photoshop. It is NOT easy--well, I'm sure to some it is but not to me.

    Beautiful post.
    love, d.

  23. Oh I do remember that! The Olympic opening day program was spectacular!

  29. Cirrus clouds definitely look like angels. They are magnificence with their wispiness... the way they flow through the air. Beautiful!

  30. Hey Girlfriend,
    Thank you so much for your prayer and concern...not sure how much you know but will give the short version.
    My sweet daughter, whom I recently found out hadn't been feeling very well, had fainted while holding a water glass. She managed to land on the glass,breaking her front teeth and bruising her little nose badly. Upon seeing a dentist, she was assured that for enough $$$$ her smile can be lovely again. This was very comforting. Then there was MUCH testing to see why she fainted...The results are inconclusive and my baby seems to be feeling somewhat better, so we shall go on with our day to day, and pray it was something simple that has now passed...
    Again, thank you for your comfort, as it is so VERY hard to be a long distance mom. Lizzy attends college in the next province about 12 hours away. I had already booked tickets to attend a buying show in Alberta, which Liz and I do twice a year...fancy, pampered, girly girl weekend together...I miss my baby, so we do a lot of catching up and much giggling. I shall see her in 3 weeks so am counting the days.
    Enjoy this weekend my dear friend and again thanks for the love...xoxo Rosie

  32. This is just perfect and as you know, I love it that angels are around us...I count on that these days. I've always loved that song, of course it will now be in my head all evening, but it isn't a bad one to have there. Hope your weekend was wonderful.
