Our weather has been varied, with gray, foggy, cloudy, chilly mornings that burned off completely by early to mid afternoon and with temps in the upper 60s low 70s! In other words, perfect! And the skies have been as just as varied, offering breathtaking views of all kinds!! I love where I live!!

Such gorgeous views you have of the harbor, Sylvia. A sight I would never tire of.
I love the pink and blue clouds! They could be gift-wrapping paper for a baby shower! And, that moon...awesome capture, Sylvia.
So incredibly gorgeous, Sylvia. Thanks for sharing the beauty and the joy.
Sylvia, you have surpassed yourself. All the pictures are incredibly beautiful and the quotes are wonderful!
I love the picture of the moon, very mysterious.
We had some beautiful night skies this week.
Glorious Sylvia.... the moon is so romantically captured... thanks for dropping by On This Side of Town
Somehow your quotations seem to be appropriate for what I am experiencing when I am reading them! Coincidence or what? Thanks for the insight they bring . And of course thanks for the lovely photos that accompany them.
Perfect skies as always, Sylvia - you certainly know how to capture them, and have excellent quotations too. Have a great weekend!
wondrous skies Slyvia. Thanks for sharing.

Hello Sylvia! What a wonderful Sky Watch post! All splendid sceneries and good quotes, I find so right George Washington Carver's words.
Happy Friday!
Beautiful skies Sylvia - the first and fourth are pretty. A
marvelous series!!!
Very uplifting... did you notice I have not posted a skywatch for a while? Rainy season has started and I don't feel like depressing anyone with dark ominous pics... have a blessed weekend!
I like the moon, last night, I saw my full moon, alas, my camera can't take it. So I enjoy yours.
Fantastic sky shots, light and summery looking.
Simply marvelous~ your first shot reminds me of a skypic I took last Thanksgiving evening in Hartsville, South Carolina ... same dusky-gray clouds with salmon-gold lights. Thanks so much for sharing!
We have wet weather over here. The heavy downpour is really unwelcome to most of us. Have to cancel a lot of outdoor activities. Have a nice weekend, Sylvia

Wow, such different skies. And the moon is beautiful. Thanks for visiting my blog and your kind enquiries. Our family is well and we're enjoying the time in South Africa with them. Have a wonderful weekend. (((Hugs))) Jo
I like all your photos, the second looks to be a place where I could cool down, which would be very nice, as it's to hot here on Lolland ;-)
Mark Twain was a wise man!
Have a nice weekend :-D
If variety is the spice of life, you've got it with those skies! Beautiful skies. I can sure understand your loving where you live.
Sylvia, beautiful!
Wonderful skies, Sylvia. I think you live in a very beautiful place.
Would you like some of our 105 degree weather? That's what I read on the bank sign yesterday when I was coming home from work around 5pm. :S Usually I would think 60 - 70 sounds cold. But I could do with a little relief right now.
Love your skies as always. Happy Friday!
Sylvia: Very neat skies in your area this week.
Sylvia, teh second one is simply beautifull....something like BRAZIL!!!congrats
