Sky Watch Friday!

Time once again to share your lovely skies! Marvelously hosted each week by Klaus, Sandy, Ivar, Wren, Fishing Guy and Louise, Sky Watch is the place to see beautiful skies from all over the world. Click here to sign up and share yours!



I'm sure that some of you must think that I run around with my head in the clouds all the time because most of my shots are of the magnificent ones we have here in Seattle and I have such a perfect view from our deck! BUT! just to prove that I do sometimes look around me instead of up I'm posting these first two taken at two of the parks near the harbor. This first one was on a clear, gorgeous August morning with not a cloud in the sky!



This one was taken at a small park just above the harbor, there were clouds, but they were lovely as always!



And then I was looking up again and, as always, wasn't disappointed!

Your Seattle shots are always beautiful...the first shot is so appealing with the beach and the beautiful blue sky....

EG CameraGirl said...

It's OK to have your head in the clouds, at least some of the time. ;-)
But I admit that I also like your beach photos.
