Skywatch - always something



As I was walking home from the canyon, this happy cloud formation caught my eye.  After stopping to take sky photos, I noticed some movement in the desert scrub.  It was a jackrabbit and two deer.  I'll  save their pictures for another post.
So often when pausing to check the sky, much more is seen than expected.  Thanks to the Skywatch team: Klaus, Sandy, Sylvia, Wren, and Fishing Guy for hosting this fun photography meme.  To view more skies from around the world or to share yours, visit Skywatch Friday.

  8. Wonderful panoramic shot ... amazing sky! I was about to ask if you merged several photos ... then I read your response to Brenda. I learned to do this with Photoshop Elements but seldom think to put those skills to use.
    Hugs and blessings,

  9. Always a good idea to be alert and observant of both the big and small. This is an excellent panorama shot that so represents the southern AZ desert.
