Cast Your Eyes Up to the Sky…

Weekly Photo Challenge: Up.

In a new post specifically created for this challenge, share a picture which means UP to you!

There is nothing more beautiful than the blue of the summer sky in Florida.  These clouds look as if they have been painted on.  This was taken as I was reclining in a lounge chair – and found myself looking UP.
