Nature has given man one tongue, but two ears, that we may hear twice as much as we speak.
Epictetus
I thank you God for this most amazing day, for the leaping greenly spirits of trees, and for the blue dream of sky and for everything which is natural, which is infinite, which is yes.
e.e. cummings
It is a wholesome and necessary thing for us to turn again to the earth and in the contemplation of her beauties to know of wonder and humility.
Rachel Carson
Those who dwell, as scientists or laymen, among the beauties and mysteries of the earth are never alone or weary of life.
Rachel Carson
There is a way that nature speaks, that land speaks. Most of the time we are simply not patient enough, quiet enough, to pay attention to the story.
Linda Hogan
A conservative is a man who will not look at the new moon out of respect for that "ancient institution" the old one.

Bits of blue today! Last night walking from the stadium, we looked up to see a full moon in a mostly clear sky. Lovely.

I've entered a major international photo competition (details are on my blog) and would be most grateful if you'd click through and rate my portfolio (just click on the stars at the bottom (preferably the 5th star - "fantastic" - LOL), easy peasy, no registration or personal details needed). Thanks so much!
Nice series of shots. Love the clouds
Those clouds make for interesting skies - have a good week xo
Hi Sylvia, molto belli questi scatti di cielo in diversi momenti ...
happy day :-)
gorgeous photos, gorgeous skies!
As usually fantastic post Silvia! This time the last photo is my favourite:)
Happy weekend to you!
Beautiful shots, Sylvia. The second to last is my favorite, the beauty of the center of the picture and the darkness of the rest make it simply perfect.
These are all wonderful shots Sylvia and I love the one you got of the moon.
Beautiful pictures and I love that last statement -- Personally, I adore the new moon ;>
In fact, I am pretty much a knee-jerk New Moon lover!
Beautiful pictures and wonderful quotes, especially like the first Rachel Carson.
So much blue! Lovely. Have a great weekend :)
Well, clicking the new logo to visit the site does not seem to work but your picures speak to me...Have a great weekend, Sylvia!
Terrence looks at the sky
Fantastic sky captures as always and beautiful words. And my favourite is the moon. Have a wonderful weekend
oh Sylvia, all this sky photos of yours are simply amazing!!!!
Very beautiful. I love your header photo! But you know, you might consider rotating the water images so that the horizon isn't sort of pouring water out one side. But maybe you like it that way. When it's a lot it's kind of dynamic, but just a little disturbs me a bit.
Gorgeous photos, as always! And I love that quote from Epictetus, although I'm pretty sure most people speak much more than they listen!
Have a great Friday, and Happy sky-watching, from Joy at Joysweb
Ah I love them all! The moon photo looks very romantic.
wonderful clouds and green and the sunset too! i like the first quote too :)
gorgeous captures as always!
I love big puffy clouds like that! Oh, they are so picturesque...and, oh...that sunset and then the moon = beautiful!
I can only imagine the hand that held the brush that created these beautiful skyscapes.
white clouds over bay
small craft bobbing at anchor
no storms on the way
Bridge Rising to Sky
I love your shots of the sky and water! Especially when the sun is low on the horizon!
Serene, calm skies you are showing me while my own are growling at me. Earlier today the sky threw snow, rain and hail at me. Did I do something to offend? Maybe it just thinks I need more excitement in my life.
Also thanking God for our eye sight for viewing lovely captures like these :)
Happy weekend to you too!
Absolutely sublime and serene photos and interesting quotes to ponder.
Have a nice weekend dear.
I LOVE your moon shot Sylvia! Great inspiring quotes as always. Thanks!
: )
Perfect quotes, gorgeous skies, stunning sunset and a pretty moon!
Love the quotes to go with the beautiful skies. Sunset is my best part of the day.
Have a great weekend Ms. S.
You got every thing - the blue sky, the great sunset colour and full moon.
Spectacular! I enjoyed reading the quotes too.
The photos and captions with E E Cummings and Linda Hogan are my favorite. Thanks for another great collection of inspirational pics!
Beautiful skies Sylvia. I was wondering if you have ever taken a picture of those boats that I can see in the bottom of the first picture. There are so many!
A wonderful collection of sky watch photos again this week. Fantastic.
wonderful images! the clouds add so much to the beauty of the sky!
The e e cummings quote is certainly appropriate to include with these beautiful images!
Oh wow! You have so many comments. Those are very lovely photos. I like the progression from day to sunset.
Delightful photos for this week's Sky Watch Friday, the colourful view sure is striking.
As always beautiful skywatch photos, Sylvia!
Oh, how I love Skywatch days!!! Just beautiful, Sylvia!! I think my favorite is the sunset, just brilliant!! Thanks!
Sylvia, each one of your photos is spectacular! I love the magnificent white, puffy clouds.
Once again, very beautiful are all the captures shared by you :-) Spectacular pictures!
You created a master piece in words and pictures. Simply breathtaking.
May all your dreams come true
May all your skies be blue,
may all your friends truly be friends,
May all your joys be perfect,
like happiness and laughter fill all your days.
my best wishes for you dear Sylvia,
isabella
gorgeous skies and inspiring quotes as always Sylvia...thanks for brightening my day!
Breathtaking skies Sylvia... especially the sunset/moonrise combination at the end. Inspiring!
Psalms 19:1-6 NLT
1 The heavens proclaim the glory of God.
The skies display his craftsmanship.
2 Day after day they continue to speak;
night after night they make him known.
3 They speak without a sound or word;
their voice is never heard.
4 Yet their message has gone throughout the earth,
and their words to all the world.
God has made a home in the heavens for the sun.
5 It bursts forth like a radiant bridegroom after his wedding.
It rejoices like a great athlete eager to run the race.
6 The sun rises at one end of the heavens
and follows its course to the other end.
Nothing can hide from its heat.
I like your quotes, and thought this one fit right in!
Thanks for the visit and comment!
What a beautiful week you had with the clouds putting on a nice show for you and I like the sunset and moon too.
Great looking weather down there. I love the sunset photo and moon.
beautiful skies..i like the last two and the boats in the first..
A lovely series of skies Sylvia, and I also love your header photo, just gorgeous! Glad you consider us kindred spirits in regards to looking up into the sky :) I think many of us here can relate :) Have a great weekend.
beautiful skies you show us. :)
Beautiful skies Sylvia, I really like the last one of the moon. The quotes are great, the one by Linda Hogan is my favorite.

Beautiful views and skies. Thanks for always sharing such gorgeous scenes with us for SWF!
Are these your clouds that have been delivering so much rain? They look beautiful all the same! I particularly like the shot of the moon with the wispy clouds moving across its face.
