I had a great time at my friend's house last weekend and got lots of pictures although the weather wasn't the very best, the view from her house is totally awesome. And she loves to get out and run around even though she's nine years older than I am. She took me to some great places around the city and I want to share those with you today.

This one is a little blurry because I was trying to zoom in to be able to catch the lenticular clouds over Mt Rainier, but if you click to embiggen you can get an idea of what they look like.
Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on or by imbeciles who really mean it. — Mark Twain

I don't think I've ever seen such lovely lenticular clouds, Sylvia, and in the bottom photo the clouds remind me of some kind of magical bird. Very nice!
The 3rd photo was totally awesome! Very nice, Sylvia!
WOW !! What a display of sky pictures. All are lovely.
Beautiul clouds and great Samuel Clemens.
Great views. Each one better than the other. The colors in the sky are fabulous.
Love these, Sylvia--especially the lenticular cloud shot. The last time I flew over Mt. Rainier, it was cloaked in one of these, and I can never get enough of 'em. I'm glad this has turned into something of a minor theme this week. Maybe you and Martha have started a trend! Have a great weekend.
You've had some spectacular skies! Gorgeous.
The skyline and skies are beautiful.
Your photos are very very beautiful.I love every photo of your set.Really good shots all!Thank you for sharing and have a great weekend,Sylvia!
Happy sky watch Friday, beautiful photo collection to celebrate the sky in lots of different moods
gotta love all of them but my fave is that bunch of whipped cream :D I'm insane and unhappy, is that ok? lol, kidding!

Fabulous captures, Sylvia...lovely as usual.
Fantastic shot of Seattle, I have yet to travel to their city.
In the other pictures, the skies are very pretty.
I hope you have a happy weekend, Sylvia!
GReat clouds. I especially like Mt Rainier's hats.
Wow Sylvia. These are all fantastic shots. I think the third is my favorite and my favorite quote is the one about a clear conscience being the sign of a bad memory.
The first cityscape is wonderful!
The last shot reminds me of the geese I see flying in the fall.
Beautiful shots, Sylvia! I love the shot of the city...and of course the lenticular clouds. I have never actually seen these. Great sunset shots too!
My favorite is the last one. A cloud angel, if you tilt your head to the right. LOL

I love them all. It's hard to pick my favorite. Thanks for sharing these my friend. Have a great Thursday :)
The captures captured my attention and the quotes quoted by the great people are awesomely awesome to read :-)
Great skies as usual, but that view of the city, is that from your friends home? Too stunning.
Oh and have a great weekend!
Sylvia: Great sky shots, wonderfully shown. You are in and getting a lot of comments.

Wonderful skies! I love the delicate feathery clouds best! Or is the skyline of Seattle my fav? Beautiful picture! Thanks for sharing! And have a nice week ahead!

All awesome pictures!

Wonderful skywatch photos, Sylvia! I especially loved the cloud over Mt Rainier.
Beautiful. I'm glad you had a good visit -- your friend sounds like quite a role model for all of us.
I'm liking the pink wispy clouds! Those are simply divine. Have a great weekend with your camera, Sylvia!
Great shots. The third one seems a painting.
Greetings from Roberto
OH wow! I love the lenticular clouds over Mt. Rainer, very picturesque!
Wonderful photographs as always, Sylvia. Those clouds on Mt. Rainier are awesome. That first Mark Twain quote feels pretty close to home these days.
Now I know what lenticular looks like. You got to love those city views! Love the pastel pink clouds!
brilliant shots!!
Lovely skies! The quotes accompanying them are wonderful. I liked the one about the bankers.
Thanks for sharing such wonderful skies!Have a great weekend.
Your sky pictures are always stunning, but I am in love with sky watching!
They are all so beautiful Sylvia (sigh) - I would never be able to pick between them. Thanks for sharing.
I can't choose a favorite.All your photos are simply captivating!!!

My SkyWatch
Wow, what a wonderful series of sky photos. The view from your friends place is truly awesome.
Gorgeous! What a feast of clouds. I especially love the lenticular clouds, which we don't really get in Scotland.
Really impressive, Sylvia. The last is my personal favourite but it was a tough call. And of course Mark Twain was a genius. If only our leaders possessed half his wits...
Enjoy your weekend!
Terrence looks at the sky
What else could I say other than the skies ar beautiful ! and it is so true about the bankers, lol !
The third down is magnificent and I like the last one too - quite a contrast between the two - and yes to that banker quote too.
The skies ever changing clouds and light is beautiful, Sylvia. I enjoyed the quotes as well. Have a lovely weekend... be well, be happy:)
I love your cloud formation pictures. The gentle coloring from the setting sun is beautiful.
Hi Sylvia thanks for dropping by On This Side of Town... the third cloud formation is so mysterious.... love it ..
All are great, but the top cloud formation shot is amazing!
Lovely as always Sylvia, have a great weekend.
Beautiful images all - but that third one is particularly fine!
Bon weekend!
Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous! You have captured our sky in all its many guises. I have only been able to see one guise lately... grey, grey, grey!
Very beautiful shots Sylvia!!

Beautiful skies Sylvia, I especially love the Mt. Rainier one.

The cloud formation in the last one looks like a bird flying. Gorgeous shots, as always, Sylvia.
I feel real excited to see such shots. Thanks for sharing. ;)
Holy schmokes, those are gorgeous shots! What miracles to behold, and how fortunate your camera was nearby! Thanks for visiting my blog - I'll be back to visit yours again, and muchly! It's beautiful.
Mark Twain certainly took away my denial - here I thought I was living better :0
Your pictures are more better than your usual better as compared to most bestest or goodder or great or greated - hmmm that sounds like something I might do with cheese. All that said the second to last photo was particularly awesome. Thanks, I hope all is well in your neck of the moss. The rains are back – Yahoo!
I LOVE the sunset pictures, the colors in the sky are amazing!
They are all wonderful Sylvia but that view in the first shot - awesome!
Glad to here you had a wonderful time.
Love that skyline of the city. These are all really great. Missed getting here for SWF until today!
