Flying High - SkyWatch Friday

It's fun to watch the skies. Most of the time the clouds will entertain you as they move and change. There are usually birds to see as well. But other times you might find a surprise when you look up.



I cropped this photo to give you a little closer look at the motor powered paraglider.


So next time you are out and about don't forget to keep an eye towards the sky. It's fun to do when you or alone .......

..... or maybe invite a friend.

View skies around the world, visit SkyWatch Friday.

Hi Judy and Miss Cindi Lou...
I love clouds too. In the first picture of clouds right in the center I see one shaped like a dinosaur....HA!! I've never seen a powered paraglider. Oh my word....no thank you I'll never do that ha!!! I'll admire from the ground. I'm quite positive that Tasha and MW are romping in the grass.....and I expect the mighty Toto is chasing them too. Happy weekend,
Hugs Madi and Mom

A motor powered para glider, I've always wondered what they're called! They're certainly more colorful than squirrels, but not near as cute!

Nezzy said...

This Ozark farm chick just chased her 'visitor' out of the birdseed then the dog food. I probably should of grabbed the camera instead of my broom! Heeehehehe! Your skypics are fabulous!

God bless ya'll from the hills and hollers of the Missouri Ozarks!!!

Lindy MacDuff said...

Beautiful sky and clouds, certainly the perfect day for the paraglider. Looks like the little squirrel found a plentiful branch to dine with a view. =)

Occasionally I see a hot air balloon floating over Tucson, but I've never seen a motor powered paraglider! I like your skies and the squirrel too.

Cara and Jenn said...

hi stopping by from Friday Follow...what beautiful pics. It's still gray here in NY so it's nice to see a bright blue sky...

The Retired One said...

That happened to me once while I was in Florida...I looked up at the sky when I was waiting in the car for my husband to gas up the car and there was a hang glider! They look so cool up there!

How amazing to fly so free in the vast blue sky!

love your squirrel friend too. I saw a chipmunk the other morning right outside my door...of course the little guy was to fast for me to get my camera! Very early in NH for chippies to be awake and running around.

I love your squirrel. I found out the other day that the berries on one of my trees were edible as I saw a squirrel pop one in his mouth and run off. lol

I was hitch hiking and a family with two small children picked me up. They amused the children for over 100 miles by identifying figures in the cloud shapes. Kept me amused too.
