Clear skies again in Southern California without a cloud anywhere to be seen. This was taken on Wednesday of this week at the Gardens of the World in Thousand Oaks, California. If you scroll down past this post you’ll see a photo tour of these lovely grounds.
For more Sky Watch photos head over to Wiggers World.
Photobucket is holding all my photos from 2007-2015 hostage and they have blacked them all out. I’m slowly working at restoring my posts without their help. Such a tiresome bother!

Loved the way you framed the “stars and stripes” in middle of those lovely flowers.
Just perfect.
This is such a beautiful picture! Love it!
I love the flowers and beautiful colors
A sky watch full of pride… I like it :O)
Ellen: Lovely shot with the bush, our flag and the sky. Great job.
Fantastic shot!! I’ve been trying to get one like that for sky watch, lol.
Beautiful picture, well done.
Oh, what is in bloom? Gorgeous blossoms.
Lovely clear blue skies!
Beautiful shot and scennery.
Splendid photograph in three stages, flowers, flag sky, a strong blue sky!
Beautiful shot!
Great framed shy shot and a great flag as a bonus.
Terrific choice. Blue ribbon photo.
Oops!
That is a sky shot and certainly not a shy shot.
Really good job.
Thanks for sharing
We had clear skies all week here in Maine, too. I kept waiting for something interesting to show up for a sky watch photo.
Very lovely photo with the flag and beautiful flowers. I like it very much:) Well done:)
Have fun:)
Beautiful!
great shot with flowers! I love it,,,,, In the sky, there is no distinction of East and West, so the people create distinctions out of their own minds…. mine’s up too hope you can drop by.
You got it all in this photo! Beautiful!
Wonderful! I love the way you framed Old Glory with the flowers! what are those red ones?

Love Old GLORY….she is a site to behold for sure Great picture
I like how the flag is fluttering against the clear blue skies.
See you tomorrow at PH Ellen 🙂
There is nothing more beautiful than the sight of our nation’s flag. Great shot!
What could be prettier than that to a U. S. Citizen framed by a perfectly blue sky?
Love the shot of the flag in the wind.
What a great setting you captured it beautifully
Gorgeous, Ellen! After a few days in Williamsburg, VA, contemplating the origins of this place we call home, I love seeing this bit of fabric in this setting all the more!
Great sky watch blue sky. Love the crispness. Have a wonderful weekend.
we have clear skies too today from here in the Philippines.

Happy sky watching!

I like semiotic idea behind this picture. grate!
Crisp, energetic photo! Definitely worth MORE than a thousand words. Thanks for sharing this lovely moment with us.
Nice. I set up a great flag shot a few weeks ago and once I had the camera and tripod set up just right I stepped back for one last look before pressing the shutter — and the janitor released the lanyard and lowered the flag!
Great catch.
A very pretty patriotic photo. 🙂 Have a wonderful weekend.
Very nice!
Very good photo. Excellent !!
