And I know a lot of other bloggers on here do too, with their "Skywatch" meme. Joy @ GardenJoy & Winthrop has some especially nice posts. Also Shyrlene @ The Bunnies' Buffet
I'm not disciplined enough to keep a schedule. In case you haven't guessed, I'm a fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants sort of girl.
The other day, however, I saw the perfect sky picture. Was just about home, and I had to screech into the driveway, race in the house, grab the camera, and run out to the backyard to snap a photo. This seems to be the manner in which all my sky pictures are taken.
I always call this sort of sky a 'God Painting'.
I stood there in quiet, reflective awe of this scene. Meditating on the powerful beauty of the world.
Then I suddenly imagine the sound of approaching coconuts in the distance, and it all morphs and swirls together into a Monty Python animation...
...and a giant foot comes down and squashes me and my camera with a "THPPPPT!"

I want whatever you're drinking.
Pish tosh! It's not even noon yet, my dear Turling...
I was going to comment but now, I don't even know what to say to this. All I can think of is "Are you suggesting coconuts migrate?"
If men are trotting along with coconut halves, clopping them together to make them sound like galloping hooves, they migrate :)
It was just a reference to the 'Monty Python and the Holy Grail' movie :) Sorry, I didn't mean to confuse you lol
LOL. With a title like that, how could we not end up in a Python skit!? :P Lovely photo by the way.
Dear Kyna, I have long been in love with the skies of Tiepolo, I am familiar with the expression, 'Pie in the Sky', I have not seen, but know of, the skyscrapers of New York, I have heard the song of the Skylark, my attic has a skylight, I adore the sky blue of the cornflowers, I have yet to visit the Isle of Skye, I have observed children at play, skylarking, and I have even heard of Luke Skywalker....Is your posting about any of these, dear Kyna??
CVF: Haha, thanks!
Edith: Unfortunately not. But that doesn't mean I can't write about them in the future. I have a good friend named Sky, who's a particularly interesting character! I could probably scrape a blog about him :)
Lol, gotta love classic Monty Python, I also noticed a quote from Pretty Woman, but it could also be from a range of other places!
Now I'll go on my merry way...
*Bravely bold Sir Robin, rode forth from camalot... He was not affraid to die, O', brave Sir Robin...
Love it. Love it love itloveit! Monty Python is my favourite humour--I have a pythonesque sense of humour so this just cracked me right up. 'THIS...is an EX...PARROT!!"
Kyna, what a perfect sky! So glad you got the pic. *Coconuts* - love it!!! (Saw Spamalot a few years back with hubby and remembered why I love those guys!)
Gorgeous. Inspiring. Views like that don't come along everyday. I can see why you rushed to capture it.
Kyna, that is an outstanding sky photo! simply spectacular.
You do have some nice photos and an interesting post.
Kyna .. I can't tell you what I am doing right now besides laughing my ass off over the Monty Python mention .. you are far to young to enjoy such humour .. hell I was a teenager then myself .. but hell it was great and IS great and that WAS great !
How many ways can I say what an amazing picture you took ? !!!!
I love it .. you should have it printed off .. it is so gorgeous and rare to catch those fantastic rays !
Thank you so much for the mention too girl : ) It has been a while since I have gotten a great sky picture .. they happen most in Spring and Autumn .. then I will be hanging out on the deck looking tre chic in my glaringly ugly nightware .. it sort of warns people to avert their attention else where .. so I guess it does the job ? LOL
Damn good picture girl !!!
Joy .. laughing and tooting ! LOL
PS .. a note to your newer post about the leisure suit ? Husband had a powder blue one he wore after our wedding .. yes .. it was a TINY wedding event ! hahaha
Kyna, the fire ant sting thing just made me CRINGE! Because, I've had these buggers inflict unspeakable pain on meself when I was still an unseasoned city slicker trying to blend into the country life. Four years ago, when we first moved into our house, I had walked my dog up to the top of the hill to admire the view when I felt these sharp, excruciating, daggerlike pains up my legs. WTH, but I was apparently standing in the middle of a fire ant trail. Woe was stupid me! But to see me running & screaming down the slope like a girl (which I am, but an older version thereof) would have been priceless. Unlike mosquito bites, ant bites take almost a month to heal. Won't make that mistake again!
With "elderberries" in the title, I should have seen that coming. ;)
Gorgeous sky shot!
