| Time to share your skies, the beauty over your world, the clouds, the colors! Sky Watch is hosted each week by Klaus and the Sky Watch team of Klaus, Sandy, Wren and me. Join us and the many people from all over the world who share theirs with us each week! Click on the post title to be taken to the SWF website where you can sign up. I don't usually post this many pictures on one Sky Watch, but this past week we've had some uniquely clear skies for a few days and there were some extremely large aircraft to be seen -- military planes, I was told. But whatever, between them and the usual planes, they seemed to be playing contrail games in the sky and it was fascinating to watch. Every time I went outside and looked up there would be new ones -- so bear with me! We did have a couple of gorgeous sunsets as well! We are all stupid, just on different subjects — Mark Twain |

Wonderful contrails and clear blue skies! Some gorgeous sunsets too .. ours are getting so early that I'm not rushing out as much as I used to now that it's cold.
BTW, did you know that a new book contained Mark Twain's thoughts and letters has recently been published. Saw it on Amazon and thought of you.
Your sunsets and quotes are beyond comprehension! I like this quote very much at this moment:"All you need in this life is ignorance and confidence; then success is sure".
Have a great weekend Sylvia!
I love'em, especially the first photo which looks like it was torn into two pieces.
More fantastic skies. And the Twain quote that grabbed me the most today is about our white man's notion that we are not savage... or less savage than the next guy. You have yourself a lovely weekend, Sylvia.
Fantastic skies and great quotes once again!! beautiful!
Happy weekend to you.

Hiya Sylvia,
Can't get over the endless supply of skies you have. And all of them interesting, whether day or night.
And MT is my weekly treat.
Great skies Sylvia!!
Happy weekend!
Nice captures again Sylvia. Love the quotes. Hope your weekend is delightful.
What interesting skies you had this week. Great contrails, airplane and sunset shots! Love the Twain quotes, especially "The secret to getting ahead is getting started" so true!
Wonderful sequence of sky shots. You always have such great variety.
I agree with Yogi, I thought at first that the first photo was in two pieces. Beautiful skies, Sylvia.
Mark Twain - what a wise man. Great photos with all the man-made "clouds" competing with the real ones. Love the post.
Beautiful skies and quotes as always, Sylvia.
Thanks for sharing the tribute to our vets.. freedom is not free, some vets sacrificed it all for us.. may we never forget that fact.
Pam, thanks, and I am so aware of what our vets have done for us. My kids Dad spent 30 years in the AF and served in Vietnam. The kids all grew up on an air base. The day means a great deal to all of us!
Hope you have a lovely weekend!
Sylvia
You did have some beautiful skies this week. As for your Mark Twain, I would like to find again that part of my mind that could recall a name or a word when I needed it, not an hour or two latter!
Thank you for sharing the beauty of the sky. Have a lovely day Sylvia.
Beautiful skies, especially loving the sunsets. Have a great weekend!
Are those white streaks jet trails? Simply amazing captures
Absolutely beautiful sunsets! I just want to sit and stare at it.
The quotes are fantastic and pictures added beauty to the posts. :)
I'm glad you posted all your photos Sylvia. It would be hard to pick a few out of those wonderful skies. Always enjoy the Mark Twain quotes and thanks for stopping by. Have a great weekend.
You weren't kidding about the plane playing tag in the sky with their jet streams.
What great shots.... I like the Flag too.
Great contrails across your changing sky.
Love the Mark Twain quotes, always. You come up with so many great ones.
Loved your skies and quotes. The one about losing your mind first was my husbands favorite quote.
Lovely selection. Loved the Mark Twain quote.
gorgeous images and wise quotes - killer combo!
I'm glad you posted so many pictures -- they're all beautiful. I'm also glad you included a tribute to the vets to whom we owe so much.
Wow! beautiful views of the sky.
There is a lot going on in your skies. Great pictures again.
Have a lovely week end Sylvia.
Very lovely!! Love the hues of blue and yellow. Thanks for the visit!
Looking at the sky
Your photos and the Twain quotes are the best part of my day. Thank you for the wit, wisdom, and beauty.
Love the last two shots Sylvia! Have a greet weekend.
Opps sowi, I meant great not greet.
great skies!
Lots of contrails! And lots of Mark Twain - your quotes made me laugh - always a good thing to do on a Friday evening... Think the multitude of contrails has anything to do with what happened off the coast of LA earlier this week? Pilots having fun with the easy believers? What fun we humans are.
Lovely pictures and lovely quotes. Have great weekend Sylvia.
Wow, I am overwhelmed with the play of lights and clouds, especially crisscrossing. Love your short quotes.
You are very well traveled lady. I bet you have wonderful memories in Montana.
Lovely patterns in the sky. It is always a pleasure looking up. Have a nice weekend Sylvia.
always enjoy your photos and the matching quotes. but this week i really love the stupid quote :)
As always, Sylvia, wonderful photos and fabulous quotes...
The best place to find Mark Twain these days ;o)
Your first photo montage is stunning!
*enjoy your weekend*

My God! What made the first streak? Looks like a rocket streak.

What a lovely post -- the contrails and interesting clouds -- it looks like you took us through a whole day. Every picture is great, as always the perfect captions.
I love that mix of the blue of the sky and those man-made clouds. And you may always wake me up for a beuatiful sunset as you have captured...
OT: I was early beacause I had a neighbour to visit. Now I just had breakfast with my son. It's 8.30 AM here now.
Have a good weekend, Sylvia!
Terrence looks at the sky

lol, I think you focused on airplane streaks today. :)
Have a great weekend.
Such beautiful sunset and beautiful sky art.
I love Mark Twain. That last photo is just beautiful.
Great quotes; Mark Twain had a way to telling the truth, making us uncomfortable, and making us laugh all at the same time!
Beautiful sunsets!
I love your beautiful pictures and your wonderful Mark Twain quotes.
Very nice Sky Watch post, Sylvia! The images are wonderful and I always like Mark Twain's words.
"Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect": so true!
Always love your skies captures :)
