This is my 7th time participating in Skywatch Friday. This week the sky just wouldn't stop. Right after I posted last week's pictures, the sky went wild with glorious golden clouds and since then it has been a week of fluffy clouds and rainbows. I took a gazillion pictures and had to control myself to limit it to these few. I alternate between thinking they are nice and thinking they are awful. Not easy being me. Die hard cloud lovers can see more here. This is the last week there will be any skies with the curved branches of the big pine tree (#1, #3 & #9). She met her death this week. I don't often push my posts, but the process of cutting her down was fascinating as well as sad.Sky Watch Friday is hosted by Tom at Welcome to Wigger's World and I hope you'll make it a point to visit his wonderful site as well. He takes awesome photos.

I love them. ALL of them. But of course the rainbow is the best. Rainbows always are.
So sad to have that tree gone it looks very large from the photos. Beautiful color in that rainbow you captured too.
I loved all the pictures. I agree with Bobbie, I enjoyed the rainbow photo the best!
I just adore the one with the barn/structure "framing" the sky. Nice work!
I want to see a rainbow.
Haven't seen one in ages.
Your story of the pine tree reminds me of a poem I use to read to my students.
Since my house burned down
I now own a better view of the rising moon.
I think is is probably a haiku and I don't have it divided correctly but you get the picture.
Just like you got those wonderful ones this week. Thanks, jcs
You have certainly had a variety of skies this week! I'm a little jealous. In Virginia it was hot (heat index 102) and hazy gray.
Photos 4,6,and 8 remind me of watercolors.
I think I see the head and wing of an angel in #5 (to the right) and then again in the left of #13.
#9 is a great last shot for the pine.
I love the rainbow!
Great SWF post!!!
Hi Raven! Wow, all your pictures are great, but I could say my favorite is the one with the rainbow! Very rare to see that, so when I see one, it's like a wonderful miracle!
My SWF photos are posted in these blogs:
Jenn Was Here and Shutter Happy Moments.
Please drop by if you have some time. Thanks.
I caught a nice rainbow this week too but not half as nice as your. Incredible.
splendid collection. the rainbow is an added bonus.
Weather, Nature. Beautiful shots and clouds.
Really Beautiful Shots!!
Great shot. Loved them all.
These are all so beautiful.
Scary clouds, pink clouds, blue skies, a rainbow, a barn frame... I'll go with the 7th down as my favorite, the one with the tree at upper left, yellow burst of a cloud in middle left, green forest under, horizontal shot, pink cloud at bottom right. It's a new game I play with your many beautiful photos; pick a personal favorite. But all are lovely.
Very nice set of skies and clouds. The rainbow shot is very nice.
these are all just perfect, but i have to say i do love the rainbow photo very very much! you are a wonderful photographer and thanks for the nice comment! i did get the jeans!
beautiful!
have a nice weekend!
I know how hard it is to limit what you post. You did well. My favorite is the rainbow. What a wonderful capture. We don't see too many of them out here it seems. Thanks for sharing it. :)
Gorgeous photos!! The sky never looked more beautiful :) xx, JP/deb
Really a splendid sequence!
Enjoy Sky Watch!
I love your gazillion pictures -- especially the rainbow! Gorgeous! Your clouds did seem to have many changing moods.
Lovely sky watch photos. You have done justice the mothernatures canvas. have a great weekend.
Cheers
You really have the most amazing skies. I loved seeing all the different moods and colors of your skies. Have a great weekend.
What a beautiful series of pics! It is like taking a gentle wander through a dream world! Loved them!
Beautiful pics, especially the one with the rainbow:)
I know what you mean about losing a tree, it's always sad.
You have documented her beauty though, so now she is immortal.
Nice set of pictures, one can see hundreds of them without being bored! Of course the rainbow is always very nice to see.

Terrific shots! Sorry you lost your tree.
I absolutely LOVE your rainbow capture! Such brilliant color.
Great photos! I like the rainbow.
I vote "nice" for all of them! Especially love the subtly tinged sunset (sunrise?) pictures.
wow, that's a lot of interesting sky!
love the rainbow and the one right after
It’s interesting how the skies change when you photograph them from the same position. I enjoyed the odd cloud trails in the last one … the ‘fluffliness’ in (and ‘framing’ of) the one above the photo with the rainbow and the unusual shapes in the 2nd photo best in this set.
Hugs and blessings,
Lovely series og SWF shots. You have done a great job here on this post!
Petunia's SWF
What a fabulous skies you have, all pictures looks so beautiful. I love it! thanks for the visit and enjoy your weekend..
Oh My, these are all wonderful shots Raven! #4 reminds me of what I picture Heaven to look like at the entrance. #5 I saw the Angel right away, I also see one in #8 and #14. You did a real beautiful job of photographing this week. I am sorry you will be losing your old pine tree. It is so pretty in your photos.
Hugs,
Kimmie

I love the golden light at the bottom of the third shot especially. All are wonderful, Raven. Thanks!
I love all the skies you have especially the one with rainbow, looks so beautiful..have a great weekend..
I agree that all are wonderful but of course the rainbow one is the best.
outside of stars...clouds are my favorite thing to gaze upon. Fabulous shots. The contrails,rainbow...the puffs and stormy ones...with branches and without...beautiful job girl!
Woah! That's a Skywatch Bonanza!
Wonderful!
Cheers, Klaus
Hey Raven, Happy Skywatching! This is almost a complete daily log of your sky.
Can you put that tree back up? It will be missed a lot. (In our subdivision we need permission from the POA to cut a tree, even if we were the one planting it.)
Thanks for peeking in on my pre-storm sunrise.
..
Hey Raven, I forgot to say please! I just presumed you would be back again. Sorry. :-)
..
Oh how lovely! So sorry about the tree. :( Happy Skywatch Friday!
A bonus pack of Sky Watch Friday photos, all very beautiful in their own way. What a shame you lost that wonderful old tree.
Thank you for your kind comments on my blog earlier.

Wow, thanks for sharing so many wonderful skywatch pics. I love the ones with the dark trees - such great contrast! Happy weekend! :)
Awesome views!
Sorry to hear about your tree.
Nice site, thanks for stopping by last week.
So many pictures of the sky :) I love the pre-storm and rainbows ones.
You are right! How could you choose? Wonderful photos, one and all.
We lost a tree this week, too. Sad days for us. I'm sure I'll post about it soon, in fact it's brewing enough it could be today, but who knows?
Lots of great skies.
Wonderful photos Raven. I love the rainbow most of all. Sign of hope and new life,at least for me.
Hugs, G
