We've had very cold weather here in Seattle this week -- lots of sun, but icy! And we have had incredibly beautiful, awesome skies! As usual all these shots were taken either from our deck or down at the harbor overlooking the Sound. They speak for themselves and need no words from me, others have said it all much better than I ever could.
I only went out for a walk and finally concluded to stay out till sundown, for going out, I found, was really going in. ~John Muir
Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in, where nature may heal and give strength to body and soul. ~John Muir
This one is rare as it was taken from our deck which faces west not east -- this sunrise covered the entire sky from east to west!
How glorious a greeting the sun gives the mountains! ~John Muir

Loved the last quote. So true. And loved the sunrise shot from your deck! Sorry have been absconding, but the funk has refused to lift. :(
I'm jealous!

Superb skies and fitting quotations - perfect!
Lovely pics. It makes me wonder whether I at all spend time appreciating the beauty of nature. It impacted me.
That last photo my dear sweet friend is just stunning. The quote with it fits perfectly. I love it. :)

I see that Arizona doesn't have an exclusive on beautiful sunsets and sunrises. Lovely photos, Sylvia. I always love the quotations you sprinkle throughout your post and, along with the pictures, I am enjoying reading all of it.
There goes it! Beautiful skies as usual in your part of the world.

We each see the a different world which truly is projected from within. If we see beauty in the world, it is because we are beautiful within. And when we live from within, our prayers are always answered.
Great shot's, last one is impressive
That's nothing better than a series of nice shots with inspiring quotes. Enjoy your weekend. :)
I thought the first shot would be my favorite because it's magnificent ... then I looked at the rest and they're wonderful too. Thanks for sharing your marvelous photos and quotes. Stay warm ;-)

Your pix stirred me to go to Wikipedia and read the bio on John Muir. It is fascinating esp. his viewpoints on geolgy, environment and traditional religion. Thanks as usual for being an impetus for love and learning.
I love the quotes along with the lovely photos! Happy weekend!

Sylvia, your skies are just magical, esecially the first and last shots. The first one seems to be telling some long and involved saga.
Stunning stuff, Sylvia. A bit like what we see here occasionally, but without all those bloody trees interfering!
I love the photos & the words.Thanks so much
The last shot overlooking the harbor is fantastic, Sylvia. That spot on the hill must be beautiful.
All wonderful shots Sylvia, thanks so much. I especially like the first middle and last ones.
Our God is an awesome God! Beautiful!
It's really amazing, we live so far away from each other, but our skies sometimes look very much the same !
Sylvia what beautiful words to go with the gorgeous sunrise.
