I posted this next quote last week and lo and behold four days later I got a confirmation from Mother/Father Nature!!! Yep, it's apparently true!! And from both of them!! Just to make certain I got the message, I guess!!

I think this is one of your most amazing sky shot posts. Fantastic, Sylvia!
just marvelous
Wonderful sky shots. Looks as if you have been having some good weather. That last shot is too funny!
Another beautiful collection of skies, Sylvia and of course a laugh from that last one.
I noticed the butterfly badge and could not help but reflect on the first Bishop High production we saw, many years ago, "I never saw another butterfly". It was a surprising choice for such a conservative community and very moving. The drama teacher was progressive in her choice of plays, several years later our younger son was in a production there of "Twelve Angrey Men".
Your skies are so wintery and that last one says it all, BAM, you got me right in the orchestra pit!
Your support means so much too me, do let me know how you are getting on.
Blessings, Arija
so beautiful sylvia!!!
They are all so lovely Sylvia! Happy SkyWatch!
Stunning views of the sky.

Hiya Sylvia,
Lots of blue for you too today.
And a wonderful bit of gold.
How many sky pictures have you gathered in your archives over the past three years?
joco
Very pretty collection of photos and too funny about nature's attitude, you don't see that in the sky every day.
Beautiful skies and great quotes (as always!) I love the new header!
What a great group of pics. The third sky is really unusual!
Wonderful sequence of beautiful skies!
You certainly have had changing skies and all just beautiful!
The color in the second one is lovely and those wispy clouds in the third are so unique.
Hope you've had a wonderful week so far Sylvia!

LOL! Nature giving you "the finger"...:-))
Great pics, Sylvia. You managed to get those colours just right. Oh, and sorry for spelling "colours" instead of "colors". I had English at school and not American English so I can't help myself...;-)
Enjoy your weekend!

You have a wonderful eye for seeing the beauty in the skies, and a terrific talent for capturing it, Sylvia. Great quotes, too.
Gorgeous collection of sky shots. The 3rd last one is stunning.
Fantastic Sylvia,as usual.!
Never fails...you always have such different and beautiful skies to share with us!
They're all beautiful but the second shot is my favourite.
Sydney - City and Suburbs
Great pics, the second one is my favorite. The quote by Franklin about somebody all wrapped in themself makes a small bundle is my favorite quote.
Take care of yourself
Great skies as always, Sylvia. The third shot is my favorite - the light in those clouds is extraordinary. I hope you have a great weekend!
I'm ignoring nature, winter, and fingers. So there! :) I'm loving the middle series of photos. They look as if a soft brush was drawn across the sky.
Very nice pictures, esp. the center few. So soft and serene. Ben was a pretty smart guy!
WOW, that third one and the last one are gorgeous Sylvia!!! your skies are marvelous, and I love that Robert Byrne quote. have a beautiful weekend Sylvia!
Your skies and your quotes are perfect! Thank you, Sylvia.

Sylvia, blogger just threw my message out and said oops...grrr....my previous message was much better! Love your posts; gorgeous pictures and wise words by a wise man. Thank you. Have a lovely weekend.
spectacular!!
Sylvia, Do you just stand outside 24 hours a day waiting for a great shot of the sky--you seem to be there when the sky is perfect!! What wonderful photos--too beautiful. Of course, we all love the last cloud shot. I need to come back and check out "Nudity" , and "Who is Happier"--you post great "stuff". Have a wonderful weekend too. Mickie
The second and third photo: Did you ever have straw painting? Your photos look like this . put a drop of paint, then use a straw to blow it.
Great skies Sylvia! Very nice Sky Watch post!
Lovely sky photos. Have a nice weekend.
My goodness. How do you come up with these breathtaking photos week after week? They are stunning.
Mind blowing series of shots. Just fantastic.
Have a great weekend!:)
Sighs in amazement, Sylvia, as always! You seem to have vast collection of stunning pictures. As a photographer in embryo, I soon run out of pictures to update.
Yoko, Japan
Ben Franklin is spot on, if a little heavy on sarcasm... I like to see the positive side of things: the last pick is Mother Nature giving us the Hawaiian greeting, "Mahalo!" ;-P
I really like the whispy clouds in these iamges - and as every I like the plane - it gives a depth to the picture.

Suas fotos são maravilhosas! As citações perfeitas! Obrigada pela visita, pelo amável comentário, e por me seguir. Estou te seguindo também!

It's been a pleasure watching your SWF post again. It's a wonderful sequence of sky shots again. The third shot is very special with those fine clouds.
Enjoy your weekend, Sylvia.
the second one is my favourite today. :)
Beautiful captures and my favourites are the 2nd and the 3rd photos.
