Sky Watch friday

Well today,for my sky watch, I have proof that most of the time there isn't much in the sky here.

With this one if you look very carefully you can see a little bit of cloud way up there. If your looking at the horizon thinking oh there it is, your looking at the wrong thing that is actually sand that has been blowing all night. and for part of yesterday. I have one other one that is a pretty good picture.

This last one shows the difference a few seconds can make to a sun rise. I like it much better than the first. By the way I just wanted to also share that sunrise seems to happen quite a bit earlier here than anywhere I have ever been in my life. The first rays of light start to show over the horizon at about 4 am.

God BLESS you! Thank you! I pray you'll be home soon too!

That looks like a very "quiet" sky. I hope it stayed that way!

Wondering if you could get some good shots of the moon next time it is full over there. The sky seems really big there! Hope you get to come home soon. Thanks for all you have sacrificed to serve our country. :D

Oh boy, all I can say is that I've thought you were a brave soldier ... now I know you are .... trusting an Iraqi man with your beaitiful hair! Does the Army give metals for that?
The final results look very nice.

Sometimes it is not the sky behind but the image in fron that matters most.

HI! You don't know me, your mother doesn't really know me, we just know each others' blogs! I read hers today which lead me to yours today!
My eyes filled with tears on both blogs, not pity, not sympathy, just sooooo blessed by both of you! Thank you, thank you for what you are doing. Your life is a testimony of so many things. Thank you for your service and commitment to our country and our Lord.
I will be praying for you! You and your mother both have such a great sense of humor that make your blogs fun!
