Last weekend my neighbor down the road had a yard sale, and called me up to stop by for a visit. It had been nice in the morning, but by afternoon, ominous clouds began to roll in, and while we chatted we both kept an eye on the sky. I happened to look up just when the clouds parted in the shape of a perfect blue heart. Of course, I’d left my camera in the van, and had to trot across the road for it, and by the time I got back into position, the heart had morphed into this sweet little pair of lips. And that reminded me of the famous (and famously misheard) lyrics from the Jimi Hendrix song, Purple Haze.

I'm not surprised at your connection to Hendrix I've just finished reading your book. That was great too! I really enjoyed it.
Amazing! You were really paying attention to catch that one. ;-)
How fitting, the heart changed to lips. Glad you got back with your camera in time to catch the lips.
Did it ever rain?

It's funny how there is a small opening in the clouds. Lovely.
You only had moments to capture this shot and I am glad that you did, it makes my day.

Oh Deb, love seeing those lips---but I'll bet the heart was even better. It was almost as if God was telling us how much he loves us!!!! Ya think?????
Hope you have had a great day.

I'm one of many who was very taken by the sheer daring of the line ''Scuse me while I kiss this guy'. At a time when there were more than enough woo-woo/crystal dreams lyrics around, it seemed to fit the decidedly visceral approach to guitar technique so much better.
Awwwww....what sweet lips. MB
Great picture and love the clip from jimmy also!!
Have a great SWF
Amazing to capture this shape so like a heart in the sky! Wonderful idea to connect with Hendrix!

Looks like a hole meant to pass through in the sky photo. Very nice shot for SkyWatch Friday.

Definitely kissy kissy sky.
It does look like a mouth with lips and the music coming out of it is awesome... like a walk down memory lane :)
Very fun; I get the lips! What I want to know is: How come no one ever made a plaster cast of his lips?
How cool!! Perfect for Purple Haze, too.
