Wishes & Aspirations

“Far away there in the sunshine are my highest aspirations” Louisa May Alcott

Lots of rain about this week, I had to dip into some of our recent holiday photos to find a pretty view to share. Sky Watch Friday is 100s of bloggers from all over showing off their own view of the sky.

A little something I am working on for Tattered Angels and to remind us that sometimes wishes really do come true.

What a beautiful sky! Since we seem to have nothing resembling blue these days, i love looking at yours. Plus the promise of a pretty beach and warm water just beyond the rise is so endearing!
Thanks so much
