Here in Seattle we've had a little bit of everything in regards to the skies. I learned yesterday that this is the warmest January on record for Seattle, however, when it is rainy and cold and gray, it's still cold! But enough complaints here are some of the beautiful skies from our deck and particularly from the harbor where I've spent a lot of time this week.
Elsewhere the sky is the roof of the world, but here the earth is the floor of the sky. ~Willa Sibert Cather
I don’t feel rejected by the sky. I’m a part of it- tiny, to be sure, but everything is tiny compared to that overwhelming immensity. ~Dr. Carl Sagan
More varied than any landscape was the landscape in the sky, with islands of gold and silver, peninsulas of apricot and rose against a background of many shades of turquoise and azure. ~Cecil Beaton
And that inverted Bowl they call the Sky, Where under crawling coop'd we live and die, Lift not your hands to It for help for it As impotently moves as you or I.
~Edward Fitzgerald
Those grey skies are just a challenge for optimists. ~Loesje
See yonder little cloud, that, borne aloft So tenderly by the wind, floats fast away Over the snowy peaks! ~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

All those shots are beautiful, but that first shot is spectacular!
I love clouds! These are magnificent!
Stormy skies with a hint of clearing at the begining or end of the day are the best.

Outstanding but those storm clouds in the first picture are just plain awesome.
Hi Sylvia, Just stopped by to say hi and check out your beautiful photography. Hope all is good with you. I can't decide which one I like the best. They are all just awesome.
If those gray skies are a challenge for an optimist, then what do they do to a pessimist? Wonderful post as always.
The photos with the clouds are so good they look like paintings almost. They are wonderful. I'll be in Seattle at 10:15 tonight. WOOT !!
I've decided you must have more sky pictures than anyone I know. And possibly a krick in your neck.
Lovely combination of sky images and quotes.
Fabulous skies, Sylvia, and the accompanying quotations are wonderful.
Great sky shots, Sylvia. I love seeing that lovely harbor.
Enjoy your day :)
Gorgeous clouds, Sylvia! I especially like those ones in the first photo - how powerful!
Have a great weekend!

Beautiful sky and your are fortunate to have these views everyday from your deck and from the harbor. Beautiful quotes as usual.
Great picturees. I love especially the Willa Cather quote.

I love the second image with the gold and silver colors. Amazing how metallic the sky reflections look and the boats add interesting texture.
Really beautiful skypictures.
Another awesome skies.

I love the second shot, with the harbor and the golden sun trying to peek out from behind the clouds. I always enjoy seeing watery shots, as there's not much water where I live.
Beautiful skies and reflections.

Sylvia, these are magnificent photographs. It conveys the frigid air and I find myself longing for a jacket. I have been since I started perusing the Skywatch blogs. I love the snowfall effects of your blog. How did you do that?
That first photo looks like the clouds are heavy looking. Nice photos.
What a wonderful sequence of shots and quotes too. I like them all but the second shot with that gold on the water made me gasp with delight.

Love the silvery golden lines of your second shot. You really do give us a feel for the atmosphere in the Seattle area. And it does look cold, too.
Beauty in the clouds. I enjoyed the quotes as well. Thank you.

Wow! Now those are samples of "drama" in the sky! Amazing photos and words to enhance their beauty!
All are wonderful but the clouds in the first shot are just breathtaking.

Yes, yesterday was great for taking pictures in the region. I had fun taking photos of swans and Mount Baker. Hasn't been a very cold winter overall in these parts. There are signs of spring in many places.

Hi! I love the quote about gray skies being just a challenge for optimists - perfect! And in some of your pictures the clouds look so powerful and in others they just seem like a gentle blanket. So many personalities!
Gorgeous photos and the quotes you've chosen enhance all the beauty. Always nice to visit your lovely blog too, Sylvia.
Happy Skywatch Friday!

Fabulous clouds across your way Sylvia. I love them all, but- oh, that first shot...
