Totally amazing, colorful skies, Sylvia. With my touch of insomnia I'm up early to enjoy your skies since mine are still dark.
I always look forward to seeing what words of wisdom and humor you have found for us. The skies are great, too.
You sure did manage to capture some wonderful skies despite the rain and all. The trees are gorgeous too. Great Will Rogers quotes, I especially love the one about advertising! :D
Golden rays
glistening clouds
pewter waves
on resting waters.
But to some ,
it is an uneven sky
beset with clouds
and birds scurrying home
before
the descent of the dark.
Just like a
woman
with hair pulled back,
face in the wind,
celebrating
a great evening,
while
another,
on the same evening,
wildly
shakes her head,
her hair falling forward,
and is frightened
by what she sees
through the
tangled
dark
strands of fate.
Sylvia, your beautiful blue and golden skies are so nice to see.. much better than the gray and rainy skies we have today.
be well, be happy
Hugs,
Pam
Hi Sylvia :))
grande impatto le tue foto di oggi per SW.
Dire quale sia la mia prefrita รจ difficile...
Buona serata.
Myriam :)
Fabulous views of the sky, true beauty.
Have a nice weekend.
Beautiful skies!
Beautiful series, but the two last was really something else! :)
Hairy branches, that is fun.
Pity we have lost what's his name, oh dear. I am in trouble here. One glass of wine and my memory is a goner. It'll come to me.
I'm a sucker for a golden sky... you hit the nail on the head here! Beautiful!
What a fantastic sequence of shots Sylvia. I love the wispy limbs on the trees against the dramatic skies. Great words too.
Mark Twain of course.
Just so you know I've been paying attention.
And it was only one glass.

You always have such a wonderfully diverse selection of skies and wisdom. Love the lava flow of the sun in the first and those very gentle clouds in the second but your poem has me slightly worried. Do I feel some Damocletian swords hanging about?
hope all is well and you can enjoy your weekend.
Beautiful photos Sylvia, - and more of marvelous Mark Twain!
Wow - you've had some stunning skies this week! Enjoy the weekend.
