Skywatch: Rudbeckia in the Sky
Sky Watch Friday is a photo meme with photos of sunrises, sunsets, blue skies, gray skies, pink skies, dark skies and any other kind of sky posted by bloggers all over the planet.
One has to bend down to get a snapshot of rudbeckia against the sky. They are tall for flowers, but not quite as tall as a tree. I have many growing in front of my home.
I took this shot in late June; I don’t know if it’s a rose or some other rose look alike flower that climbs on a fence at my daughter’s friend’s home.
Ninnu says
I just love the point of view there! The yellow flowers look so nice against the blue blue sky :)
Valkyrien says
I am with Ninnu! Love the angle and colors on the first shot!

I came to visit to find an old post about inserting a url in a sentence and came across these lovely photos.
I just love the first one. Van Gogh would be proud of you.
Leora says
How nice. I didn't even think of Van Gogh. Wow, if Van Gogh were alive today, he could have meds to stabilize his mood illness and a digital camera to record all sorts of things. I wonder if he would be a blogger. Probably.
Leora says
Is this the post about inserting a URL? I should really update the search on this blog so it give you listings before giving you all the posts. Some day.

Ilana-Davita says
Yes, that's it. I had actually found it. I need it to give links in a blog comment and find it much nicer than just giving out the full url.
Ilana-Davita says
Sorry I pressed a key before even saying "thank you".
James says
that's the way to get the good shots. I really like the top one.
Dagrun says
Really beautiful pictures. I love the way the flowers are stretching towards the blue sky.
Photo Cache says
Those yellow beauties look like they are celebrating the great weather you obviously have on this picture.
Happy weekend.

Those rudbeckia are indeed gorgeous against the sky! Perfect complimentary colors.
Mine are just beginning to bloom.
