How odd?  One frame has a cloud in it.  The other frame has a tree in it; but minus the rain clouds.  Notice an eyeball separates the two frames.

Skywatch Friday, April 5, 2019 - Sun Hiding Behind Clouds

Greetings and Salutations!

I was eating alone in a restaurant.  It was between noon and 2:00 P.M. I looked out the window tilted my eyes upward and saw the sun hiding behind clouds.  By moving to another chair, I was able to shoot the sun through curtains to obtain this image.  In my lifetime, I have never seen the sun look like a moon in broad daylight before.  This photograph is one of many miracles.

I was doing errands today like go get a blood test, get the flu shot, buy Dunkin Donut coffee which is on sale at Walgreen's.  These are the photographs I took while marking things to do off my list.

Pre-Schoolers hand prints.  Shows inside the classroom window and outside the window.

Sunset yesterday.

I was at Walgreen's waiting to get my flu shot.  I looked around and noticed this quote on the wall.  How true it is!  It is definately a reminder to be grateful for our health.  And so it is.

Tablescape, British Royal Wedding, Friday, April 29, 2011 at the Merchandise Mart, Chicago, IL.

What an adventure I had today. My friend, Susan Andrews had tickets and asked me to be her guest to attend two events at the Merchandise Mart in Chicago, Illinois. First we enjoyed seeing the International Fair of Contemporary and Modern Art.

After we had lunch, we attended the second event. We arrived at just the right time at the International Antiques Fair to enjoy a cupcake. Many others were enjoying a toast of champagne to celebrate the British Royal Wedding .

I can't believe the whole thing....blue skies. YEA! It has been one gray day, then another gray day and yes, another gray day. The gray days were really getting to me. Finally, this is what we saw two days ago. I actually went on errands wearing a sweatshirt, no jacket in the Chicagoland area today Hip. Hip. Hooray!

I saw a robin today. Spring must be here! I'm ready more than ready.

Ya'll come back now.

It was raining again. My husband pulled the car over when I said, stop there is a Pink Saturday shot. I got out the camera, walked around an abandoned restaurant and thought, in my lifetime I've never seen Pink cement before. Let's hear from you ladies....have you ever seen this before?
