Skywatch Friday: Evening


From June 16, 2012
The big, dark cloud made me think of a sea turtle, so I took the photo last week on Topsail.  The thick clouds had broken after a long, gray day, and it was very beautiful.  I took this photo a day or two before coming back to Connecticut.  As much as I love my home state, it was hard to leave this beautiful place that has been like a good friend to me in many ways:  it's always present, it keeps my secrets, it tells its own story without telling too much, and it leaves me feeling good.
