How to use sky in a sentence?

  1. Philip Hobbs:

    I got there and saw this amazing sky, I could see what was going to happen but I just needed a horse, luckily one was exercising so I grabbed the rider and asked if I could do the picture. I was lying underneath this ridge, shooting up at the sky and just waiting for it to walk by.

  2. Henry David Thoreau:

    Time is but the stream I go a-fishing in. I drink at it; but while I drink, I see the sandy bottom and detect how shallow it is. Its thin current slides away, but eternity remains. I would drink deeper; fish fill the sky, whose bottom is pebbly with stars. I cannot count one. I know not the first letter of the alphabet. I have always been regretting that I was not as wise as the day I was born.

  3. Photographer Kevin Ebi:

    To my surprise, the scene was even more dramatic than I expected. I thought the fox would drop the rabbit, giving the eagle an easy dinner, instead, the fox, with its jaw still clenched on the rabbit, inadvertently got snagged by the bald eagle. The eagle lifted the young fox and rabbit into the sky triggering an even more dramatic struggle.

  4. Edward Seiler:

    Swift price-appreciation, sky-high inflation, low inventory, and mortgage rates now two percentage points higher than last year are all headwinds for the housing market in the coming months -- especially for first-time buyers.

  5. Michael Watkins:

    The Mars Helicopter project has gone from' blue sky' feasibility study to workable engineering concept to achieving the first flight on another world in a little over six years.
