All pics are fantastic but the middle one is incredible! Well spotted, Sylvia.
I'm glad you were able to get such wonderful pictures over a relatively short time period. The third photo is amazing.
We had an unexpected opportunity to visit with friends in the mountains of North Carolina, so that's why we were away for a couple of days. It's good to be back home.
Sylvia: Love your beautiful sky captures. Those were special photos.
Wow - -those wispy clouds are stunning!
Hi Sylvia, You sure got some beautiful and unusual sky shots this week! My favorite is the last one with the feathery clouds and tree branches and golden setting sun.
That is amazing that you should take those great pictures in 15 minutes! The curly remainders of the trail are very exceptional. Spring is on its way, but Sylvia it's still snowing on your blog!LOL. I wish you a very beautiful weekend.
Gorgeous, creative shots!!!
Have a wonderful weekend!!
cheers from Uruguay :)
Shoot for the moon, blowing smoke rings, great collection of contrails. As always, a thoughtful collection of quotes.
Great shots and quotes. The third shot looks like the clouds made smoke rings. Amazing.
"Blessed are the hearts that can bend; they shall never be broken", just a perfet compliment to these little sugary whiffs of clouds, loverly! Have a glorious weekend~
Wow!!! on the first one..looks as if the plane just missed the moon.
The third one down looks like the plane is blowing smoke rings...lol...wonderful captures.
WOW! I am totally in LOVE with that first image! All of your photos are gorgeous...but, that first one is something special! Have a wonderful weekend, Sylvia!
A contrail slide show with a sense of humour!
And Amen to all the quotes.
Happy SWF, Sylvia.

I love each and every pattern! mine was 1 and yours a lot! happy weekend!
I absolutely LOVE that third photo, Sylvia! Amazing!
wow! i love this series! i think i'm in love with the first photo! :) have a great weekend Sylvia! :)
Magnificent images here Sylvia. That 3rd photo is amazing!
Contrails are always good but these are great.It's funny to think that 100 years ago no-one would have ever seen these. The skies without a trail now are just plain weird! xo
gee, Sylvia! those contrails are really beyond cool! Awesome. great shots too. happy weekend!
I LOVE your sky photos Sylvia. you never ever disappoint! have a great weekend, and happy SWF!
Wonderful photos, Sylvia! Cool capture of the jet and the moon. And I love the third shot it looks like smoke rings.
Awesome vapor trails and wispy clouds on blue, blue skies, Sylvia! I hope your blue skies continue. Have a wonderful weekend.
The trails always make an interesting subject for photography. You got terrific shots.
I wonder how the pattern in the third picture formed in the sky! The first quote by Mark Twain applies to most of our leaders.
Really like the picture where the con trails are starting to break up. Makes you wonder what type of air currents are happening up there.
cheers Stewart m
Sylvia! Awesome images captured! I've not sky like this! Great quote about the anger..so true!
This is an awesome series of shots, Sylvia. I love the disintegrating vapor trail, I've never seen one turn into that kind of pattern. Have a great weekend!
I love the contrails and they way they dissolved into a reflection of themselves. Very nice. Your views are gorgeous. There is always a special brightness in your images. It must be you!
Awesome shots Sylvia! They are really cool! I always wonder how fast those jets go.
all breathtaking images but loved the 1st one with the moon!!
Thank you so much for your nice comments about my skywatch post this week. I really do appreciate it. Your work is beautiful and am so glad I have now found your blog. Te header your friend did for you is so attractive. I know you are tickled with it. Your shots are awesome, and I look forward to seeing more of them is the days to come. Genie
these are all great, but that broken contrail especially so, for its unusualness.
The third one of course....

WOW, Sylvia! Those contrail shots are incredible, especially the top one with the crescent moon. Have a wonderful weekend!
Wow, what a great collection of vapor trails. I really like the curly pattern. One of them seems like a guitar. I also liked the strongly cross hatched pattern.
The quote from Twain about how ignorance and confidence will result in success. It made me laugh.
Beautiful skies and I LOVE all of the quotes--all say something important. Mickie
I love the pic of the swirlly contrail, the one your poet called a "charm bracelet"!
beautiful header and lovely pics as always..love the quotes and Suranga's poem :)
Beautiful sky...I love the colors and magic in each of them. Your poetry is always beautiful and moving. I've enjoyed my visit here. Happy Sky Watch!
These are fantastic!
Liz @ A Simple Life
Hi Sylvia, wow. They are all beautiful, but those bubbly ones (the ones that bend) are my favorite. Oh, and the very first one. Thanks!

The third photo and a quote from Albert Camus is my favorite.
As an immature photographer, I wonder how you can take such marvelous photos of the sky.
Wow the cloud formation is neat and beautiful. They looked like a string of hearts. Have a nice weekend.
