Sky Watch Friday!


Happy Thanksgiving and Happy Sky Watch to everyone! And with all of our beautiful skies we have lots of beauty to celebrate!

Sky Watch is hosted each week by Klaus and the Sky Watch Team of Klaus, Sandy, Wren Fishing Guy, Louise and myself. Join us and people from all over the world and share the beauty of your skies! Click on the icon to sign up and play! Please do read and follow the instructions.

They say here in Seattle that we get more rain in November than any other month of the year --- they won't get any argument from me, that's for sure!!



But, wait! One blue sky day? With cloud creatures supervising?



Well, that didn't last long! Who is that riding in that cloud ship??



And then as the day winds down -- we're talking pitch dark by four thirty in the afternoon -- we get just a taste of sweet colors.

There was a huge diver up there. I wonder if he will land on your lawn.

bobbie said...

It does look like someone riding in a cloud ship! And the one before it looks like someone ready to dive off a board.

Your photos cover the gamut of a winter's day, Sylvia. Wish that we here in Australia could share in your rain.

That is a mean looking storm cloud. I hope your Thanksgiving brings clear blue skies.

Pearl Maple said...

Fantastic photos, we do like to watch the sky in all its many different moods.

Enjoyed your Thanksgiving post and the quote from Emerson, that is lovely.

Janie said...

Those were interesting cloud patterns. The cloud ship with a rider is great.
The sun sets here now at 4:50, so we're not getting much more daylight than you are.

I can just feel the wind, and I think that was Santa out scouting for the Christmas trip! Happy Thanksgiving.

with a bit of imagination, the second photo looks like someone lying down and having a good smoke.

This Is My Blog - fishing guy said...

Sylvia: Neat to see you also have an imagination when you see clouds. Those were neat cloud photos.

Owlfarmer said...

Changes are so much fun to watch and record. Lovely sequence, Sylvia; thanks for the pareidolic moment (this and technology-against-the-sky seems to be a theme this week).

Linnea said...

Such interesting skies...it's like there's a performance going on up there! We've had blue skies all week, but today we're finally getting a bit of rain. Send some of yours down here!

Gemma Wiseman said...

Dramatic tone in the first image but especially love all the different cloud shapes in the following photos!

Debra said...

It's nice to get a hint of blue skies now and then, here in the Northwest, isn't it? I do love all of the clouds though! Great pictures by the way and I really love the colors in the last one, especially! :)

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.
