We've had our usual beautiful sunsets recently and I never tire of them because although the colors and the shape of the clouds may be similar, they are all unique and beautiful -- just as all people are unique and beautiful, each in their own way.
The first two are -- as usual, taken from our deck a couple of evenings ago.
The last three are a nostalgic look back at a lovely summer on the Sound where I found myself on numerous ferries as family and friends and I visited some of the beautiful and fun places in our part of the world.
That is Port Townsend in the background.
I love the sailing ships against the blue sky!
And this is one of the marvelous ferries.

Gorgeous clouds! And the boats are charming. That is quite a ferry! Bigger than those we have going from North Cape May to Lewis, DE.
I love those ferries. They are so practical. You are right, it is really marvellous. I have never seen one open ferry that was so humongous in size.
I remember being so excited to ride these ferries. The whole post is filled with wonderful pictures of a very special place.
Great pictures Sylvia.
Lovely! Bittersweet the change of seasons, but wouldn't want to live anywhere that has just one or two seasons.
Lovely shots, Sylvia. I can't remember many sunny skies when we lived in Washington state. Are they getting more frequent or are you just catching them all? ;)
Beautiful skies and harbor.
Love the scenes.
Enjoy the weekend Sylvia.

I love the view over your deck as always, but oh was I glad to see some summer again too!
As usual lovely cloud formations. It may just be me but I found summer to be really short this year.
Happy weekend.

Great stuff Diva!
You do have such awesome skies in Seattle, Sylvia.
Fabulous skies, Sylvia, have a wonderful weekend!
You're right of course, Sylvia. The clouds may look familiar but they are always unique and beautiful, no matter what their form or temper!
Beautiful shots from your corner of the world.
appropriate good bye to summer and a good attitude there is beauty in each season and each person...
Beautiful autumn skies, Sylvia. Enormous ferry!

Your skies are always so breathtaking over the Sound. Love the ferry. Have a great weekend Sylvia.
Love the cloud captures...thanks for sharing.
How wonderful that you have such beautiful sunsets to see from your office window.
That ferry is huge! I've never seen on that big before.
Wonderful blue skies and water. The clouds from your deck are amazing. Always interesting to see the sky from your perspective, Sylvia!
The sunset clouds are beautiful! Wonderful pictures, too, of your summer trips across the water.
I love your swelling cumulus clouds! Really awesome, especially over water.
Beautiful as always, Sylvia! The water and sky make for beautiful scenes.
We had a puffy pink cloud formation in our sky the other night and I got my camera out. They are so lovely and remind me of cotton candy.
The clouds are great! Also, I feel a sense of wonder as I look out over those waters. What a treasure you have there!
I wish you a good week end and that you do find more fun clouds to take photos of an maybe a trip with a boat, MB
A very pretty grouping of beautiful sights. What a lovely view you have. Makes you get going a lot better.
What a view you have from that deck. You must hang out there a lot!
Wonderful photos and clouds. Thanks for sharing. Washington is a beautiful state.
Wonderful skies...I like the second one..the close up..looks like a Grandfather laying on his back on the bed and raising his hand to his yawning mouth..lol..I know I have a vivid imagination..lol

Marvelous soft colors in those evening clouds, Sylvia.
And oh how I wold love to take a ride on that huge ferry.
As usual, great cloud shots and they are all different and all wonderful.
I like the look back at summer and enjoyed the Ferry pic
Have a great weekend.
Oh, and loving the seasonal header!
Lovely shots Sylvia! I especially like the one of the ferry.
Your new header (new to me today) is gorgeous!
Carletta’s Captures.
Beautiful to match your generous heart.
As usual your pictures are so beautiful. When I lived in the midwest fall was my favorite season. The colors are so magnificent.
Love the clouds I am staring at it, and figuring out what image they make this time.
Thanks for the visit!
I love the pictures from your deck and how you point out that sunsets are all unique and beautiful just as all people are.
You have such beautiful sky views. The clouds are great in the first ones, and I really like the views of the Sound and the huge ferry.
The sunset ones are awesome!
The cloud bank as backdrop to the sailboats is awesome. Your skies show such beautiful cloud colors and shapes.
So much summer loveliness. These are all gorgeous.
Love the scene..wonderful picture,all of them:)
Thanks & happy SWF.
Sylvia, the ferry is so GRAND!
We take a ferry sometimes when we visit family on Long Island. It's always amazing to me how cars just drive on board!
I could spend hours just watching sailboats float passed...
White and blue are meant to be together :)
Happy Weekend ~ Maria
I enjoy you sky here.Yes.. that white ferry and sailing ships.
Wow, I love those puffy beautiful clouds. The sailboats are also so beautiful with the blues of the water and sky. The ferry is great. A wonderful set of shots.
Beautiful clouds and lovely photograph series for Sky Watch ;--)
Hugs and blessings,
How lucky you are to see those orange glows from your porch! Lovely harbor views!
Wonderful captures Sylvia!
Stacey and I took the ferry from Anacortes to Friday Harbor in the San Juans the other day. It was wonderful to be out on the water again after having spent the summer in the mountains. The sunset was absolutely amazing.
Love the puffy clouds in the first shot.
Sylvia, the soft pink clouds of the first images are so charming! I like the sailing ships in the blue too. Wonderful shots!
Great pictures! The clouds as seen from your deck are why we build decks! They are stunning! And, the boats...marvelous!
marvelous indeed!
Gorgeous sky photos.
You are right, each sky photo is unique. I love these soft pink clouds in the evening light and the lovely seascapes with the sailing boats.
Just beautiful evening clouds Sylvia.
Sylvia: What a neat show of your different skies out in Washington.
Lovely shots. Have a nice weekend.
