The Governor’s Palace at Colonial Williamsburg. September 21, 2013.
(Note: All pictures may be enlarged by clicking on them once or twice.)
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.
Our first stop on our recent vacation was Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia. We walked through the garden behind the Governor’s Palace under a beautiful blue sky.
Bruton Parish Church, Williamsburg, Virginia. September 21, 2013.
One of the main purposes for our trip was to enable Betsy to do some research at Bruton Parish. Her eight-times great grandfather, Thomas Ballard, was a member of the Vestry of the church from 1674 – 1683. By the time we left the church there were some scattered light clouds in the sky.
The Capitol in Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia. September 21, 2013.
It was even cloudier when we walked over to the Capitol, but it was still a very pretty day. All in all it was a nearly perfect day for visiting Colonial Williamsburg.

i really do think that the sky has taken the star position in this post, and the buildings have to settle for second place! You captured it well, George.

The buildings are beautiful, and the sky in the church photo really sets that one off.

Wow! SO much history … I wouldn’t have a clue what my 8 x grandfather’s name was, let alone what he did for a living!! I think it’s great you can trace it back so far!! Enjoy your weekend!
