To think I almost missed this surise, I was in a rush, the weather was lousy, stuck in a slow moving line, bright pinks started sneaking over the horizon, at first I thought no too much to do but then the golden glow started and I just had to run back to the beach for a quick moment to appreciate nature putting on a show. Happy Sky Watch Friday and check out what other bloggers have found to show this week.
A good picture is equivalent to a good deed." Vincent van Gogh

Sky Watch Friday was started by sweet idea from Dot 3 years ago, with the simple concept of appreciating the view up in the sky. It can be an entertaining show, always something different and best of all free to all. Collecting hundreds of friends along the way Sky Watch continues to grow and sure makes my week. Thank you to our kind hosts and bloggers who participate every week.
Another weekly visit & birthday is Christina’s Soul Aperture where she too celebrates the simple joys in life. Have a great weekend everyone and remember it is a crazy old world out there sometimes, all the more reason to celebrate all that is simply good.
For me, simple pleasures include art journals using colourful glimmer mists for glittering accents and trims. This one is part of a challenge going on at Gall Creative & Scrapping Outback, with lots or prizes to win over there this week.
