You do have such beautiful skies on the west coast, and you capture them so well, Sylvia.

I love that sun coming through the clouds and the last sunset. Ok, I love them all LOL. Aer Lingus has a big sale on American fares, including one to Portland near where my sister lives... Sylvia you're always tempting me out to the Pacific Northwest, and I'm wondering if next year I'll really make it? Happy skywatching!

These magnificent skies of yours make me miss my summer vacations up at the lake in Maine. Some of the best skies I have ever seen were over and across that laske.

Judy said...

Beautiful. I don't blame you for living there. The next to the last one is my favorite. The skies here were very dark today. Bad storms and rain all day.

Greg Dimitriadis said...

Wow, glorious photos! Thanks for the good wishes. I am sure we will enjoy Seattle.

I think Skywatchers are becoming obsessed with clouds--with good reason. 'Tis the season, I suppose--but the variety showing up this week is great. Thanks for the additions.

What Can I Say?

What Can I Say?
I'm interested in almost everything. Use to like to travel, but it's too expensive now. I take Tai Chi classes, swim, volunteer in a Jump-start program for pre-schoolers. I'm an avid reader and like nearly everyone these days I follow politics avidly. I'm a former teacher and Special Projects Coordinator for a Telecommunications company, Assistant to the President of a Japanese silicon wafer manufacturing company. Am now enjoying retirement -- most of the time. I have two daughters, one son-in-law and two sons scattered all over the country. No grandchildren.
