Sky Watch Friday!


Time to share your skies once more and enjoy the beauty of others skies as well! Sky Watch is hosted each week by Klaus and the Sky Watch team of Klaus, Sandy, Wren, Fishing Guy and myself. So click on the icon and join us in celebrating the beauty of our skies!

We've had so many different skies in the past week and I have so enjoyed getting out and seeing how many ones I could capture and here are a few.



Keep your faith in all beautiful things;
in the sun when it is hidden,
in the Spring when it is gone.
~ Roy R. Gilson



Every spring is the only spring - a perpetual astonishment. ~ Ellis Peters



At sunset Nature is painting for us... day after day... pictures of infinite beauty. John Ruskiin



That look'd
As though an angel, in his upward flight,
Had left his mantle floating in mid-air. ~ Joanna Baillie



Peace... is seeing a sunset, and knowing who to thank. ~ Unknown



Those playful fancies of the mighty sky. ~ Albert Smith

Very beautiful skies - all of them. I haven't been doing Sky Watch for a while now, but I think of it every time I look up. It's almost irresistable to snap a photo.

All of the clouds look so soft and fluffy.

Beautiful! My favorite quote today is the Ellis Peters one -- about every spring/perpetual astonishment. I need to look that one up and have it framed. It kind of describes my attitude to life. Every day is new and different.

A great variety of sky watch photographs Sylvia - is it
coincidental that LinkWithin coordinates its cycle of past photos of Skywatch with the current, I wonder.

lv2scpbk said...

Love the sunsets. Beautiful!

syel said...

Yes, indeed, you have the same fluffy clouds. We have them very often when the sky is not grey or blue.
Your sunset is also beautiful !

I have witnessed many Springs in my life. Yet I am astonished all over again that life is busting forth in such beautious color.
