Today's beautiful Skywatch Friday picture is the sky seen through the metal dragonfly sculpture at Greensboro's Center City Park. This is our first post by a guest photographer. Faithful GDP reader Sue sent this picture taken by her husband, Rusty. When we e-mailed Sue to get permission to use his name, she said she would be honored because he died a few months ago of Lou Gehrig's Disease. Sue, today is your day with a photo by Rusty for you. GDP readers, as we skywatch today, let us keep Sue, Rusty, and our own loved ones in our thoughts.
Beauty around helps us through difficult moments - What a wonderful picture of hope and appreciation of life!

I love the word tracery! Always nice for someone to type up a word that isn't used often! For those of you who are wondering, "you'll be 200" refers to what # we are on the Skywatch Friday list. Usually 350 people share photos. If I can't be a low number (1-10), I want to be on the hundred (100, 200, 300). Totally timing nothing scientific. I guess I could volunteer to host and then GDP would be #1 LOL.

Really neat shot. Teases the mind. I haven't been to your site for a while and scrolled down. Boy have I been missing some cool pictures. I appreciate your work and how great an ambassador you are for Greensboro
