Sky Watch Friday!
So how is the new season affecting your skies? Sky Watch Friday is a wonderful meme hosted by Klaus and the Sky Watch team members, Sandy, Wren, Fishing Guy, Louise and myself. Over three hundred people from all over the world share their skies each week. Click on the icon, sign up and share yours with us!
There is definitely a change in the skies over Seattle as the days get shorter and shorter, more rain and skies that frequently reflect my own grumpy mood at having to wear extra layers of clothes, run in and out of the house between rain showers and the seemingly endless nights as it is dark here before five o'clock in the afternoon! But then those same skies reward me for smiling regardless! Do click on the photo to embiggen!
Some interesting cloud animals appeared the other afternoon!
Then more grumpy gray!
But if you're really, really nice, you just might get a bit of a sunset like this one!
I almost didn't catch it because it had been a gloomy day and I was downstairs, not expecting anything much. Then my son told me to hurry upstairs with the camera! So glad he did, so glad I did! It was magnificent!

Now what kind of animal it could be?...is it a huge insect with wings ready to attack? Grumpy skies gave you great scenes.
Those are some impressive clouds, Sylvia! I believe that I spotted a mouse, whiskers and all, in one of those shots.
Here, we have a little fog some mornings which always seems to give way to our clear blue prairie skies.
I can't wait to get to Las Cruces when we move later this month. With the mountains as a backdrop, my photographs should change quite dramatically.
Thank you for visiting my blog. Cheers!
I've been nice, where's my sunset!? LOL I've just got that grumpy gray again.
Ah well--I'll just enjoy your skies then Sylvia!
What wonderful photos my friend. They are just truly spectacular. I love them. Have a great week and weekend ahead :)
Nice selection of skys!
Beautiful sunset. I didn't like living in San Francisco during the winter because of the gloom, fog, and rain. I guess I'd feel the same way about Seattle.
dearest...great shots....congrats

the sunset is astounding!!
and I love big fat fluffy clouds, even if they have dark bellies
A well trained and thoughtful son to make sure you didn't miss the sunset. You got some blue sky as well, things aren't all gloom.
We had a gorgeous sunset the other day with skies the same colors of your last 2 photos. Lovely!
You were lucky to the get that beautiful sunset. Nothing like that over here in Nykoping. Just rain. And pitch dark by now.
Have a nice weekend.
Those clouds are really grumpy...And these are good shots.
Your skies are always so beautiful. I love the clouds and sunsets.
Beautiful deep sunset, and those shadows on the other clouds are incredible!
Wow, what a sunset!
The seasons are definitely affecting our skies - fall, and with it the rain, has finally arrived, and in full force too.
Hmmm... yes, I recognize some of those gloomy Seattle sky views - I lived there for about 15 years and finally had to leave to escape the dark clouds! BUT, when the sun does shine, it is a gorgeous place to be! :)
I love those big puffy clouds, and that sunset is amazing!!
What a beautiful series of photo's..good capture of some very Busy skies and sunset at the end of the day.
Your skies are smiling beautifully anyway, Sylvia. Very lovely.
Such beautiful skies. The sunset photo's are spectecular.
Excellent captures with fabulous color too.
interesting how skies can be so intricate. nice photos
The first one looks like a horizontal twister.
A lot of people like blue skies best, but for a hotographer, it is more fun to shot cloudy skies - and you have got lots f them :) Great post :)
Beautiful captures! On the third photo, I see a horse drawn chariot!
Awesome skies, Sylvia! Have a great weekend!
Stunning collection of shots! Absolutely gorgeous!
There is beauty in all your skies! Remember that variety is the spice of life. Great photographer quotes in your post yesterday!
I like your blog's name :)
Dancing moody clouds - it's like a living drama :)
You got a nice variety this week. And you answered a question I have been meaning to ask you. So, this is the rainy season, there. I wondered how you have been getting so many beautiful shots in the last months, when all I hear is how much it rains there.
They are all pretty, but I really like the looks of the clouds in the first one!
Hi Sylvia, I found your blog via Toby's comment on Skywatch.
Aren't the PNW skys simply the best? In all my years here I have never minded the rain as either before or following there seems to be the promise of a beautiful sky.
Fantasy awaking shots!
How is the season affecting our skies? Well the last week, its really moody, but I took a good shot of it!
Nice photos of dark skies!
Great series of shots from gray and silvery. I love the fiery colors in the next to last.
Beautful series Sylvia!
Have a great weekend:)
Sylvia: That was a neat series of shots for this weeks SWF. I enjoyed your take on the cloud shapes. I often see animals in the sky.
Nice puffy white and clouds and a beautiful sunset. Great photos. Thanks for sharing your skywatch and for hosting.
Love the red color sky- and I am still laughing - we do have the same daddy... cat and rabbit. LOL, MB
Our skies are beginning to look a little grumpy.... a bit like yours ;-)
Great series of shots. I really like the colours in nthe sunset ones..
Seattle has some wonderfully dramatic skies too.
Skies are so changeable now and give lots of opportunities for great shots - and you've got them all :-)
Please thank your son for us...Amazing colours! Happy SWF.
Terrence looks at the sky
You can't really have glorious sunsets without some clouds.
Love the big fluffy clouds in the first couple pictures and the beautiful colors of the sunset pictures!
Yes, some very wintery clouds there, but the colour in those sunset pics is amazing. What excellent captures.
I really enjoy your photo's. They are all wonderful. I always see all sorts of figures or faces in clouds and nobody else sees them.
The sunset is awsome.

Your skies are showing a bit of blue and that's a good sign that they are trying to clear. And the fluffy tufts of white clouds are very pleasant.
Sending you warm sunshine
with a smile :D
Lovely shots of the sky!!
Your son do have a keen camera eye to know what's a nice capture :)
Very beautiful captured indeed,look so great for skywatcher,very impressive.
Beautiful light and clouds in the first three pictures and the sunset is glorious! All great skywatch pictures and even the grumpy gray is lovely. :)
Gorgeous sky shots. Impressive clouds.
I love the drama over your skies!
Skywatchers never have far to look for the silver lining - it's right there in front of us.
stunning images. i enjoy very much viewing your pictures..
Stunning capture of the sunset.
Have a great weekend.
the last two glowing-red orange skies more than compensated for the overcast skies you have:) Nice captures!
I see the woolly lamb and the monkey and I shall go back and look for more in your spectacular cloud pictures. Aren't you lucky you didn't miss that gorgeous sunset!!
There's a lot happening in those skies. Great shots.
Sydney - City and Suburbs
Those skies are very busy being beautiful! Very impressive!
Sylvia, yur skies this week are just sooo dramatic even the sunsets, just wonderful.
Beautiful sky photos. What a beautiful cloud formation in the first and second shot.
The gorgeous sunset is a lovely final shot of this beautiful series of a busy sky.
Beautiful clouds, especially the sunset.
A very dramatic day for the sky, I'd say! Lovely shots, Sylvia.
Janice.
I like the last two sky colours.
magnificent indeed!
Great skies, I love the colors in the sunsets!
All very expressive, the first one awfully too low for comfort!
What a great series of photos. Thanks for the post
big clouds but i'm glad you were able to capture the gorgeous colours of sunset. :)
Funny how things in your neck of the woods and mine correspond so often--if separated by a couple of days. Lovely cloud stuff, Sylvia, and thanks for helping lift soggy spirits.
what a lovely collaboration...with your son hurrying you up with your cam or you'll miss the beauty of a grumpless sunset.
Great clouds and skies over Seattle...and a beautiful sunset ...
Such huge billowing clouds! I think that is one huge mosquito buzzing. :)
Gorgeous sunse!
Lovely, lovely, lovely images Sylvia!
Your skies are beautiful especially the sunset. Skies don't change with the season here, at least in my opinion. Or it's grey or there are white fluffy clouds or the sky is blue and the whole year long, lol !
With Window Views and Skywatch I slowly get a stiff neck !
Lovely varied sky views as the season changes ;-)
Hugs and blessings,

Great dramatic skies that demand to be notices. That sunset was definitly spectacular.

Wow! That first cloud is scary looking, almost like you can reach out and touch it! Some of the best sunsets I have seen are in the PNW!
