Skywatch Friday, May 31, 2013

Thursday was another cloudy day but it did stop raining and the sky turned blue in parts. These shots were taken around 6:30 p.m. You can see the bit of blue sky through white clouds.  


Looking north the sky was somewhat heavier with dark cloud but just above the big evergreen tree the sun was trying to shine through the clouds.

I decided to snap some colour garden photos as my garden is no where near ready to share her blossoms. The following photos are all taken at the corners of various streets in the neighbourhood.  Each of these garden plots is planted and lovingly tended by volunteers in the neighbourhood. Each year I get so much enjoyment from these small gardens eked out of corners and tiny spaces.And every year, there are more corner gardens.












I'm linking up with Skywatch Friday today and enclosing the floral shots for added enjoyment.
Enjoy your weekend.

Pretty pictures of your garden and that sky does look like it's starting to "break up" the clouds.

I saw your comment on another blog and realized I haven't been here for a long time. I love your photos, the flowers are wonderful.

I always enjoy sky photos, and yours are really nice. How nice that people keep your city looking beautiful, more cities ought to do that, but I suppose you have to have the volunteers for that to work. Very pretty photos, though!

Wow! These are really beauties! I wish my neighborhood had these flowers too but everywhere I go is cemented! Hope you'd show us your garden soon :)
