Skywatch Friday: Warmth

This is the sight I beheld every time I ventured onto the beach after lunch last summer. The clouds were big, sprawling masses of moisture and movement and light. I would lie on my towel and watch them move and make my own sense of the shapes that formed in the sky. One day I watched a turtle follow an alligator across the sky. I don't know where they went, but it was a happy dream.

    I'm not sure about the alligator, but I'll bet your turtle was heading for a Shell station. ;)

    I still like to figure out what different formations the clouds make. When I as growing up, that was one way we entertained ourselves.
