Devil's Backbone Overlook, Blue Ridge Parkway, Virginia. August 5, 2010.
This is my post for Skywatch Friday, a meme for sharing views of the sky from all over the world. To see more, or to join and share your own photos of the sky, click HERE.
I feel I have been running around like a chicken with my head cut off for the past several days, so I went to my archives for this sky picture.
In August of last year Betsy and I drove the Blue Ridge Parkway north from Asheville, North Carolina, into Virginia. The Parkway is one of our favorite drives, and we had a beautiful, but cloudy day.
When we stopped at the Devil’s Backbone overlook in Virginia, we found a beautiful blue hole in the clouds with sunlight streaming through.

I know what you mean! Retirement is terribly challenging!!! Hubby has pinch hit for Meals on Wheels several times this week.
I’m having a battle with bees.
Cheers from the peaceful forest!

never get tired of the beautiful blue skies and puffy white clouds, we have had amazing ones the past few days because of Irene on the other coast.

You’re not suppose to be that busy…you’re retired. 🙂 I know how you feel about being busy. That’s a beautiful sky picture as usual. The parkway is one of our favorite places also.
