Sky Watch Friday!

Sky Watch is hosted each week by Klaus and the Sky Watch Team, Klaus, Sandy, Wren, Fishing Guy, Louise and myself. Last week 350 people from all over the world shared their beautiful skies. Click on the icon, sign up and join us. Please do read and follow the instructions. Let us see the beauty of your skies!



Lots of moody skies here in Seattle this past week, but they're still dramatic and beautiful if you take the time to look at them. These were taken last evening and they can still take your breath away!

Beautiful Seattle skies...I like the light and darkness in the clouds in your third shot...all are pretty...

Kay said...

Oh wow! Is it already that time of the week? These are gorgeous skies, Sylvia. The clouds outside my window right now are all overcast and gray. Nope... change my mind, the weather is changing again.

bobbie said...

They do, indeed, take your breath, Sylvia. I could watch the clouds forever.

Deborah Godin said...

Beautiful autumn kies, indeed, but do I detect a wintry edge to them?

Janie said...

Beautiful clouds. It's always interesting to watch the ever-changing sky.

The third one is my favourite - so much depth.

Just popped by to say 'Thankyou' for the kind birthday wishes you left for me. :)

Wow those sky shots are amazing. Here they are just black with rain at the moment! :(

Martha Z said...

You had enough clear sky to give shape to the clouds. I suspect you must be ever on the alert for shuch a break this time of year.

Those are beautiful! Winter never gets *too* depressing as long as we can keep looking up at pretty skies I think. Thanks Sylvia!
