Skywatch: Rudbeckia in the Sky

swftomSky 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Great capture of the rudbeckia. I like the angle that you took the photo. It makes those flowers just pop right out!
