We had our usual amazing variety of skies this past week.
The sun, the moon, and the stars would have disappeared long ago had they happened to be within reach of predatory human hands.

You must not blame me if I do talk to the clouds.”
~Henry David Thoreau
There are no rules of architecture for a castle in the clouds.
~G. K. Chesterton
There seems to be so much more winter than we need this year. ~Kathleen Norris
A pessimist only sees the dark side of the clouds, and mopes; a philosopher sees both sides and shrugs; an optimist doesn't see the clouds at all--he's walking on them. ~Leonard L. Levinson

Beautiful series of skywatch photos, Sylvia!
That golden sunset is gorgeous! As always, quotes and pics are wonderful too.
I love to see the clouds dancing in your sky!
Lovely post Sylvia, love those sunsets especially.
You always do such a lovely job pairing your photos and quotes. Thank you for sharing, Sylvia.
All gorgeous, Sylvia. But that first photo is just stunning.
Ms. Norris is a very observant lady. Lovely photos as always, Sylvia.
Hi Sylvia ~ I love how you tie in quotes with your pictures - gives me even more food for thought. I saw the best sunset the other night - you would have loved it. Bummed that I didn't have my camera but I sat and just soaked it up. I don't even know how to describe the colors that I saw. Enjoy.
Great captures Slyvia, as always. I love the variety of skies paired with interesting quotes, 3rd photo is my favorite.
Have a great weekend my dear.
they're all beautiful!
the tree in the top shot is just magnificent
Sylvia: That is surely a beautiful series of skies. We have had a lot more gray skies.
I love totally love that sunset and that very last one. They are just magnificent. Well done my friend. Have a wonderful day :)
I really like this series with different skies and clouds.
I wish you a happy weekend, Sylvia.

This is beautiful skies. The first one with the light in the water is so wonderful and warm:-)
Wish you a great evening!
These are all great Sylvia. I love the soft stuff hanging from the trees in the first shot. The golden sunset and the shot with the boats, water and clouds are other favorites but they are all great.
Our week has been similar - an always changing sky - and the weather has been just as temperamental.
What a beautiful group of skies! :)
What a treat to see your skies. And the quotes are fantastic. Love all the photos' textures.
Beautiful sly pictures, all different

Magnificent views, Sylvia! Another great post for Sky Watch! The quote of Chesterton is funny!

Work From Home
Great shots! I especially like the iridescence in the first one. The sunset is simply glorious, and of course I find the marina fascinating, the water, you know!
I love seeing the views of the Olympic Mountains. I used to live and work upon its shores, so I always sense home in such natural architectural splendor.
That is a remarkable variety of skies, and a wonderful series of shots.
Yes, a great variety of skies once again, all wonderfully captured. I echo the pleasure experienced by that sunset shot.
just a sec to say hello and say I'm glad we're under the same sky.
Such gorgeous, gorgeous skies!
I loved the Ellis quote and thought how sad the truth of it.
Then I read the Norris quote - Amen! :)
I agree a lot of variety of skies and they all are stunning! Thanks for sharing!
Romantic Sunset
A wonderful variety of skies - all beautiful!
Beautiful photos, Sylvia, and you always find the perfect quotes to complement them. The Norris is my favorite this week.
Enjoy your weekend! :)
I'm thinking of this one:
You must not blame me if I do talk to the clouds.”
~Henry David Thoreau
These days we can't tell if people are talking to the clouds or on the bluetooth earphone of their cellphone!
Love the photos and the quotes... always a great visit!
~Maria
what a great way to begin your quote..:)

Great sky photo's....well captured.
I really like your Levinson quote. And all of your sky pictures are just wonderful. The picture of the sun's reflection on the water is gorgeous.
Gorgeous skies Sylvia, we do live in a beautiful part of the country. I love all the quotes.
They are all lovely, but I especially like the third one :)
There has been a lot of winer this year, for sure. I enjoyed all your photos as usual, but I think just maybe number 1 pipped it. xx
Great shots and quotations.

Fabulous images as always, the one on top is really beautiful. THanks for stopping by.
That Thoreau was a cool guy.
The shot with the bare willow is amazing. So beautiful. Of course I like all the ocean ones, too. Your most recent post as I'm here (beautiful ocean, lovely flowers and spectacular sunset) is wonderful!
Lovely skies! And the marina looks like a huge "parking lot" of boats!
I am back from vacation and have a lot of catching up. Happy Valentine's Day!
As always, a wonderful SkyWatch collection. I really like the shot over the marina... lovely.
