| 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. Can you believe that Christmas will be here in nine days!!!! Ah, well, time flies whether you're having fun or not!! We've had a few HOURS of sunshine and blue skies this past week and I'm not exaggerating! Ah, but what we had when we had them they were wonderful!! So, I went looking for them as I gnashed my teeth over the current politics! Hard to believe that Will Rogers and Mark Twain are not here today! Their quotes are amazingly current or perhaps politics have always been the same game???? |

Lovely images Sylvia! I always enjoy the quotes you provide to go along with your pictures too.
I guess that is why Twain and Rogers will never be forgotten. Their thoughts are timeless. It also shows that our culture matures very slowly. Every era seems to repeat the same mistakes. The “dirty fingernails and cleaner minds” quote is priceless. Love your awesome sky photos and wish I could sail away in the beautiful scene of sparkling waters.
These quotes would lead one to believe that Will Rogers was listening to today's news.
These photos are just amazing. I thought each one was wonderful, but the next one I looked at was even better. Your final photo is gorgeous. I love the color in the cloud.
Hi, from Halkidiki Greece
Your blog is interesting and the photos they are beautiful !!
Friendly

Hi Sylvia,
These skies are gorgeous, and the quotes too appropriate. I have had little exposure to Will Rogers; I have missed something. A trip to the library is in order!
I just want to know if I take to your skies, will I be patted down or scanned? :)
I want to find a new inventive word for beautiful, stunning and astonishing becuase that is how I feel when I see your photos...let's see...Beau-stun-ish?
We have our political comic commentators but they don't see as adept at the one line as Clemens and Rogers.
As for skies, we had blue ones yesterday and today but they say it is clouds and rain for the foreseeable future, including our drive to LA next Thursday.
Thank you Sylvia for your beautiful skies and the wise quotes by Will Rogers.
He is using a gentle and polite language on your politicians.
I would be censored if i write in public my opinion about ours.
Have a great evening.

you always wow us with a superb collection of sky images. and the accompanying quotes are fantastic too.
Oh Sylvia, these photos are just magnificent! They are all gorgeous, but the last one is breathtaking.
Molto bello questo tuo cielo per SW !
Ciao Myriam :)
Hi Sylvia! The first photo is so soft coloured! It's like a scenery of a fairy-tale. Your other photos are also stunning and the quotes are for ever appropriate.
Thank you for your visit and comment. What you were thinking about the prisoner who wrote the poem on the wall, kept me also busy wondering what happened to him or her. It is such a strong statement.
I wish you too a very happy weekend.
Beautiful as always!
Happy weekend :)
I get the distinct impression that Will Rogers was NOT a fan of senators. :)
Once more a great collection of fabulous photographs and heart-warming quotes.
Very lovely shots, Sylvia!
what a lovely set of photos,

All great photos but I especially like the one of the sail on the sea.
These are wonderful, Sylvia. Especially the last two. I love the warmth of them.

Drama and poetry all in one post. The sea all silvered over and your massive billowing clouds as well as colourful sunsets/rises! You have been exercising your trigger finger to great effect.

If you let a politician go for a walk in your backyard, be sure to bring the doggie bags to pick up after its mess.
Great shots, Sylvia.... but the huge thunderheads are my favorite.
Great shots as always. Beautiful clouds.
A happy weekend for you.

Great shots as always, Sylvia. I love that first one, it's so atmospheric.
Sylvia, your photos are stunning. Just stunning.
I love Will Rodgers and marvel at how little things have changed.
Beautiful white clouds and heavenly colors fill you beautiful Seattle skies. I love Will Rodgers quotes they are so down to earth. He was a man before his time.
Have a lovely weekend, Sylvia.

Amazing photography, with one more stunning than the previous!! Have a wonderful weekend Sylvia!!
Gorgeous ..................!
What huge and wonderful skies you have had this week. Those cloud formations are beautiful as are your photos.
Pics are lovely but the quotes a little "ouch", no? But I have to agree, we have seen more courage and convictions from politicians in the past... have a blessed weekend!
Lovely images....and politics is a brave man's profession, no wonder why all cowards try to pimp in it
Beautiful scenery accompanied by beautiful quotes. Have a nice weekend, Sylvia.
Oh, Sylvia...I LOVE that top photo especially! The horizon is on fire! Wow!
Beautiful sky photo's as you always have..sorry I could not post on Sky Watch Today although I did do a post on my blog..I could not access Sky Watch for some reason today..it just came up blank.
Slyvia: Your sky captures are just beautiful. I hope you are doing well.
A wonderful play of light in each of these photos! But my favourite is the first one! It is as if there is a snippet of a rainbow between two silhouettes!
loved all the pics and the last quote specially
Great captures Silvia, looks like a storm is brewing.
Stunning pictures - Awesome quotes!

I always love your quotes. And your photos are so dramatic and beautiful. Happy SWF!
You've done it again, Sylvia, with your skies; they are simply terrific. And I share your and Will's frustration with politicians. What can possibly be so hard about just doing the right thing?
Stunning pictures Sylvia. Awesome quotes!
Have a wonderful weekend Sylvia!!
