For one glorious day this week, the clouds disappeared
And let the sun frolic in a sky that was
The fragile blue of a jay’s wing.
And floating up high were delicious marshmallow clouds
That beckoned and said, “Come, take a sweet sticky bite of the day!”
Not to be outdone, the sun gleamed and glittered
Leaving a trail of sparkling rainbows
Like laughter
To lift up the spirits so that I shouted out in joy.
For more glittering skies, please visit: Skywatch!
And I can understand that perfectly! What a great post, marvelous photos to wind down my day! Thanks for sharing the smiles and those good feelings! May they continue and may you have a terrific weekend, LadyFi!
