Skywatch Friday - Assorted Clouds

As usual in the spring, we had quite the variety of skies in the last few days (including a thunderstorm off in the distance, too far away to photograph), so here are a few of them. I like the highlights from the sun in this first one.
The second one, taken three days later, shows the sun trying to break through.
And on this final shot from yesterday, I found the almost straight line where the clouds end fascinating. This line went from horizon to horizon, but I would have needed a fisheye lens to show that.
Please visit the Skywatch Friday site for lots more great spring skies.

  1. Absolutely beautiful and amazing. That line of clouds/blue sky is very eye-catching!

    In the first photo, the sun shining through the clouds ... did you notice it is a glowing heart? ;=}

  7. That third photo, it is amazing how the clouds end at one flat level.

    Do you get a lot of thunderstorms? My husband is a hydraulic engineer, he loves thunderstorm.
