Congratulations on the Skywatch blog. I was amazed to see 315 people in front of me when I visited (late as usual). Thanks for all your work on this!

My contribution to SWF is Sunset pictures after a long day of travel to a remote district.

Congratulations to the new Website. This is a great idea!

storyteller said...

What a celebration ... and for good reason. You three have outdone yourselves with the new Sky Watch site! It's most impressive ... as are the images you've shared here today. I also love the colors in the header of this blog ... and wish I had more time to meander here. Perhaps another time? Thanks for the welcoming message on my 3rd Sky Watch at Sacred Ruminations. I'm finally getting around to visit others for a while this afternoon.
Hugs and blessings,

Unknown said...
