SkyWatch Friday: Casper the Friendly Ghost



Not sure if anyone will remember Casper the Friendly Ghost but that's who the lower center cloud reminds me of. For more skywatching please go to the home of Skywatch Friday.

    Hah! to me it looks like a tiny dog with the back facing the viewer. It's fun interpreting cloud formations.

    Enjoy the weekend Carver.

    Now here is someone with their head in the clouds. I like the way the clouds are framed by the trees around the edges. Nice one.

    I do remember Casper the ghost. I had a cat I named Casper too. Your cloud reminds me of a puppy standing on his rear legs with his head back. Thanks for sharing. Very nice shot.
