SKYWATCH FRIDAY here. Go. Enjoy. Add your own.
We didn't take any time to play in Alabama this time through, but the skies sure gave us a good show while we drove through the State on the next-to-last day of our roadtrip.
We enjoyed beautiful blue skies all day. It seemed as if the sun began to set just as we drove through the Bancroft Tunnel under the Mobile River. When we came out of the Tunnel, the sky had begun to turn pink.
Gulf Shores State Park, where we'd hoped to stay was full up but the Ranger kindly gave us directions to a small private park in town.
As it turned out, it didn't really matter, because the next morning it poured down rain, so we wouldn't have been able to walk on the Gulf Beach anyway.
Your sky pictures are so perfect. The top picture looks like you took it out the front window while your husband was driving. If I did that it would be full of bug splatters.

Beautiful pictures. Your blog name reminds me of a saying that I use to my students: "Go ahead and live life - don't just exist."

Hi Sallie,
Your first photo has the look of an old film photo. I like it!
The wispy pink tinged skies of the second are quite pretty.

Great skies and I really like the tunnel shot. You've got me thinking about trying a shot like that now.

We always loved Gulf Shores although it seemed we had lots of cloudy rainy days there. But we found some good places to eat. Isn't that what snow birds do best EAT!
You asked if we shared the cooking of Lenten Dinners. Yes, usually different groups witnin the church do a dinner each Wed. until Easter. I belong to a Wed. Bible Study group and they were at the church to help serve and clean up. I just happen to like to cook and have the equipment to do so.
