Farmer’s Market Sky

by Leora


At the Highland Park farmer’s market last Friday, I looked up.

And then I looked down.

    Great sky. The skies are quite good for SWF at the moment. I realize that when I go places I have started to think that I should have taken my camera and taken photos for the challenge.

    Gorgeous both ways! I used to live in Highland Park, from 1999-2005. I’m only in Dunellen now, not far, but Highland Park is *much* better!

    Lelah, I love when I get “locals” visiting my blog. I think I’ve been to the theatre in Dunellen but not recently.

    Thanks, Hildegarde, Kelly and Ilana-Davita. We bloggers know how fun SWF makes Thursday nights. We get to explore the planet’s skies.

    I am a sucker for blue sky and white clouds together. This fits the bill for me.

    Hey Leora, you looked up, then back down. It is hard to deside which is prettier, the sky or the flowers. I’ll take the sky today.
    Happy Skywatching, thank you for peeking in at my storms-a-coming sunrise.

    Beautiful skie for a farmers’ market. The last time I was at one the skies opened up and poured down. OH DEAR. Everyone folded their tents quickly, thats for sure.

    Ah, I do miss the northeast in the summer time! The trees are green and the skies are blue and the temps are a little kinder than they are in Florida. Well, I’m headed north for a visit next week, so your Skywatch has made me wish for next week to come faster. :D

    re: your comment on my Tree of Life post - I do have lots of fun when I go to Disney, and the Animal Kingdom has become my second favorite park (EPCOT will always be first with me!). Always lots of beautiful things to photograph there.

    Have a great weekend, and enjoy those blue skies!

    Outdoors markets are such wonderful places to be, especially when they are filled with beautiful colour such as these flowers are.

Please write something! I like to hear from you.
