Talk to the paw

The weather has been really gloomy and wet. Although there's no interesting pieces on sunrise, sunset or blue skies, watching darkening skies can be interesting too.


Rain clouds looming


Bright lining on an otherwise dark horizon


Think LS got tired of watching the darkened sky because after a while she said to me, "Hey Happy, how about one for the camera?"


And I replied...


"Talk to the paw"

It's nice to be chilling out, away from the camera flashes, don't you think?


Have a great weekend everyone!






We're participating in Skywatch Friday with our *cough cough* gloomy entry.

Rain, rain and sun! A rainbow in the sky!

Funny as it sounds, rainbows always appear when I go through life's storms.

So it was in recent time when I caught sight of a rainbow from my kitchen window one evening. It's yet another unusual looking rainbow. A mere fragment next to the setting sun, just after a heavy downpour.

A coincidence? But there is no coincidence where God is concerned, is it? No matter the storm, when you are with God, there's always a rainbow waiting. I'm thankful for that.

I'm also thankful for skywatching. Gazing at all the amazing pictures brings such therapy to the weary soul. A gallery of nature at its best!

Rainbows appear after might storms
When things look their worst
Just when the sky is darkest grey
Out of Heavens does a rainbow burst.



A Happy Dog

As LS is thankful for rainbow after the rain, so I am thankful for walkies after the rain.

What about you?

Skywatch Friday

Recently we've been doing a lot of skywatching. Happy included. It's funny how she'll tilt her head to one side and stare intensely at the sky. I've yet to be able to capture her in that pose.

Here's a picture of a moon above a contrail

The moon in between two contrails


I'm still learning to use my camera. So the pictures didn't turn out that well. But you can get a better look by clicking on the images to enlarge them.

LS seems to be more interested in aiming her camera up at the sky instead of down at me. So I'm pretty much out of the picture now. I can breathe a sigh of relief.

Just in case she carries this phase in her life for a bit too long, here's a cut out picture of me. Hope everyone don't forget what I look like.


Have a great weekend!






We're participating in Skywatch Friday this week. Feel free to check out their site for more awesome skywatching.

Skywatch - Joy Comes in the Morning

TGIF! That means the weekend is hours away! I think LS is glad too for the weekend. Something about working too hard. But I think it's just her post holiday blues.

It has been a while since we last joined in Skywatch Friday. While LS was sorting through her files the other day, she came across some pictures she took some time back.

These pictures were taken on an early morning from two different sides. It's amazing that one same sky shows different beautiful sights.

This picture shows the reflection of the sunrise from the opposite side


This picture was taken just few feet away from the first picture. Can you see how the sky parts in the center? Or rather, it was the clouds parting.


LS said she loves the second picture. Hope you are not bored by her raving and ranting over these pictures. She tends to get carried away at times.

To think that if I didn't wake her up early, she would've missed it. Well, don't you think she has me to thank for?

If you enjoy skywatching, do hop over to check out more lovely pictures at Skywatch Friday.


Have a good weekend everyone!

Skywatch - When The Sun Sets In




This is our first time participating in Skywatch Friday. We've seen it going around and have always wanted to join in but never really get around to doing it till now.


Plus, we remembered and were inspired by Butchy & Snicker's post on sunsets a while back, which had awesome pictures of sunsets!


Here are two pictures taken from our kitchen window a while ago. Both sunsets were taken just a few days apart. But see how different they are.

Sunsets are so beautiful, aren't they?

Have a great weekend everybody!
