I have always been fascinated by the sky- its deep blues on cool fall days,

the incredible colors that sunrise and sunset can bring,

and the mystery of a moon-lit evening sky.

I'm not too keen on flying, but what makes air travel so appealing to me is being above the clouds and seeing them from a new perspective. I am filled with gratitude for this life and the beauty God has created.

This week, the three crayon colors that caught my eye all had to do with the sky:
Sky Blue
Outer Space
Silver
Hope you enjoy them!
Thank you to Molly at Nix the Comfort Zone for hosting Poetry Friday this week. Be sure to stop in to read her lovely poems inspired by Wendell Berry's "Like Snow." It's amazing how you can take a poem and substitute a few words and come up with something so lovely. Going to have to try that!
Cathy, beautiful photos and colors for this week. I am thinking about the smallness of the "blue marble" you repeated in two poems. We are so small in the vastness. Your poems are big and encompassing of that vastness. Thanks for the reminder!
HI Cathy! These are delightful. I love your silver rocket standing in the beguiling blackness and the rippling laughing joy at the end of the poem. :-)
I found a 'nestling' in your beautifully colored poems:
blue mantle
canopy of stars
rippling with laughter
😇
These are just fabulous and the personification in them is wonderful. You remind me that a masterful color poem is indeed a marvelous thing. Thanks for sharing all three today!
Thunderous applause for your new color poems!
