Sky Watch is hosted each week by Klaus and the Sky Watch team, Klaus, Sandy, Wren, Fishing Guy and myself. Click on the icon, sign up and join the hundreds of people from all over the world who share their beautiful skies each week. Please do read and follow the directions before signing in.
Our skies were pretty much in keeping with this time of year -- more gray than color, more plain and ordinary, but then that is what makes the flaming skies all the more appreciated when they do put in an appearance. Still, there's something very peaceful about the skies I caught last evening. Click to embiggen and see more detail.
“Nature is a mutable cloud which is always and never the same.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Lord, I have loved Your sky,
Be it said against or for me,
Have loved it clear and high,
Or low and stormy
-Robert Frost (1874–1963)
Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky. Rabindranath Tagore

Heavenly post! You ROCK, Sylvia!
These are just wonderful my friend. I love them all. :) Well done :)
Just beautiful, as always. Thank you, Sylvia.
Fascinating shots, as always, Sylvia! The first shot almost looks like virga (rain that doesn't reach the ground.)
Beautiful captures even with grey skies, Sylvia. Have a wonderful weekend. (((Hugs))) Jo
Very lovely formations by the clouds in the sky. Beautiful.
Beautiful skies and pictures.
Your cloud shots are so wonderful and great quotes to accompany them.
Lovely skies - Ralph said it best!
I too have 'loved Your sky.' Beautiful photos, Sylvia. Thanks for sharing your Pacific NW sky.
Cheers from Minnesota!
I love thse skies - they are anything but dull grey!
Well if those are the bad ones looking forwrd to the flamong skies! xo
Just beautiful,Sylvia like always!Have a nice weekend!
Actually quite beautiful for just your run-of-the-mill grey skies, don't you think!
Janice.
Beautiful skies, Sylvia. As usual, you have found wonderful words to go with them.
The Getty is not reason enough to endure Los Angeles but if fate takes you to LA I'm sure you would enjoy the museum and grounds.
Fantastic capture of the beautiful sky, Sylvia.
Have a great weekend.
Sylvia: Those certainly are beautiful skies out in the Pacific NW.
I knew I could count on you for some great skies.. Blue and White forget the Gray
Gray is beautiful. With a soft tough of the sun's rays, makes it even more glorious!
Lovely quotes to go with your photos.
Lovely skies this week Sylvia, very subtle.
Nice skies.
Have a nice weekend, Ev
Wonderful skies - I love your first photo where it looks as though the colour has been dragged across gently.
Beautiful skies and text:-)
Wish you a great weekend! Hugs from Norway!
These skies are wonderful!
I wish you a great weekend.
Peaceful is the right word, just what I need in the middle of a stressful week. Very nice captures.
These are beautiful winter skies! I still love the snowfall. It makes me giggle.
Your sky images are nothing but pretty always.
Enjoy the weekend.
A super, super variety of LOVELY skies!
I love Robert Frost and that quote is perfect for all of us I think! :)
Mine’s here: Carletta’s Captures.
Some grey clouds there, Sylvia, but much blue sky peeking through...and some fun cloud formations. Much more fun than our grey, grey and more grey.
I enjoy how each image varies just that little in the intensity of its luminosity, Sylvia.
that's a wonderful set of sunset photos Sylvia . i most especially liked the first photo.
Sylvia, I like your skies. I see some blue mixed in with those clouds. The first shot is pretty.
I think it is because you find beauty in your photos that they are so beautiful to behold. Besides being lovely in their own right!
Beautiful sky as usually here:)
Have a great weekend!
Greetings

Nice captures and quotes!
You caught some lovely skies again.
These are all different, although I think they were all taken from the same vantage point. Thanks for the visit!
You remember the hymn, "For the beauty of the skies." They don't seem to sing them these days. Some of the clouds looks like outward stroke of the paint brush.
These are fantastic Sylvia, but what else would we expect from you.
All the best

Beautiful combination of clouds and sky.
I like the rays of fading sunlight shining through the clouds as twilight comes to a close. Wonder at the end of the day. Gorgeous, Sylvia.
Beautiful skies! I love the quotes you choose to go with the photos too.
I love your skies, too. Beautiful.
I love them all Sylvia. Different form of clouds. Very beautiful.
Beautiful skies, lovely quotes, and I am very taken with that word 'embiggen"!!!!
You get your money's worth when you attend a nature showing. Loved all the pictures.
Lovely, lovely, Sylvia!
and great quotes, too!

As always your posts inspire me, lift me up, let me see the greater parts of life and appreciate the simple beauty of it all... thanks Sylvia.
Beautiful photos and beautiful verse!

Clouds are like feelings floating freely about, providing the sensations that colour our days.
Never mild the grey sky, but you got beautiful clouds formation up there.
Have a great weekend! ;)
The cloud formations are fantastic. I also love your header - what a beautiful picture.
I think your skies are beautiful, and I love the quotes. Sunset does seem like the gateway to heaven, to me.
I think you're right, the gray skies make us appreciate the colorful ones all the more.
Lovely to have some sun and light skies as a contrast to the grey! Such delightful shots!
Have a great weekend.
so true, there is something very peaceful about these skies Sylvia.
They really are quite beautiful.
Lovely skies pictures.
Have a nice weekend!
Beautiful skies, especially the first one and the quotes are very nice too !
Fascinating cloud shapes and colours wandering your skies!
There still some rays of sun & golden sky you managed to capture. Very hopeful.
Woo... beautiful skies you have. I like the cloud formations. They are stunning.
Have a good weekend.

Just checkn' in. Sky is about the same here only upside down, Loved the thoughts especially Emerson. thanks as usual. I bet you'd look sassy in some of the hats here.(no coowboy hats though)
Thanks for sharing these wonderful sky photos. I really like the clouds you captured. The quotes are great, too.
I truly love our NW skies! Great captures with all different cloud formations!
They may be a little grey and yet so beautiful.
Wonderful skies and quotes as always ... a few look like skies I've seen recently. Thanks also for the Maxine chuckles ... it's been challenging watching the market fall the past couple of weeks.
Hugs and blessings,
Hi Sylvia, yes I agree these are very calming skies, like a warm blankie!
