These are gorgeous. The colours of the clouds are so magical.
I love especially the second photo - the tree looks like in fire thanks to that cloud behind it.
Beautiful.

Your top one is kind of scary, an excellent photo nonetheless.

Love how you called the bottom one "fairytale".

Hi Carletta, you have some pretty views from your back and front porches. I'll bet you often have fog and dew, it stays until about 8:30 right now around here.
Thank you for peeking in, I like looking from my porch, at the morning fog and dew too.
Happy SkyWatching!

Wow this yellow sky is so strange but beautiful ! I saw a very strange one here this morning but it was to late for this week's Skywatch. I feel much better, the Egyptian pharmacist really gave me very good medication. Of course I had no antibiotics with me. Thanks for your kind thoughts !

The fairy tale clouds at the bottom look almost like something you'd see in the sisteen chapel, or in a 15th century landscape painting.
