Rural Thursday With Watercolor Skies

"Why DID the chicken cross the road?"

(I couldn't have planned this shot.) :)

Sitting in the Jeep at the Tractor Supply Store while Hubby ran in to buy some bird seed I noticed the clouds above the round bale feeders at the other end of the parking lot. The sky was filled with beautifully fluffy clouds that were lightly shaded with gray - just like a watercolor painting.

Another view without the feeders.

Linking to Rural Thursday and Skywatch.
