These blue fingers of Medium altitude Altocumulus clouds reaching out of a bright pink sunset could be a ghost version of Santa's sleigh and his reindeer.

A Little Bit of Heaven
The sky finally peeked through the storm clouds today after 3 days of grey rainy weather - almost 4 inches in 72 hours! It did sort of look like God was looking down on me with a blue sky of hope in the background...

Tie-Dye Sky
These cirrocumulous clouds swirling around the sun make for a great tie-dyed sky. I love the sense of motion even in the still photograph.

The 300
We were watching the movie "The 300" yesterday, and when I saw this sky it reminded me of the oceans of soldiers that just kept coming!
