I was in Sussex, England, over Easter —
And one of my favourite activities is walking on the Downs.
There’s nothing like emerald fields
Glowing beneath a sky of sapphire,
With animals enjoying
The background of big, rolling clouds.
For more big skies, please visit: Skywatch.

Beautiful colors and I had no idea you all had big open fields like that. My mind they are all stonewalls… ;-).

Recently from someone I learned about “streaky clouds in a blue sky”… As an expression, I found it so interesting to describe these kinds of skies!! blue sky with streaky clouds and an emerald field (in your picture) is such gorgeous vision for eyes! I love these skies and scenery! many thanks…
