I think the first one is my favourite, although it was a hard choice! The soft colours and the distant trees...
All powerfull views!..... love that fiery sunset though!.....:)

Beautiful skywatching! I wish you a nice weekend :)
Beautiful skies, Sylvia! I really like the last quote. So fitting. Great photos and I hope you have a wonderful weekend too.
Oh lovely lovely skies...and always enjoy the quotes.
Your sky pictures are wonderful. I especially like your fourth picture with the sun setting behind the trees. The color of the sky is gorgeous.
I also like your quotes. They are so very timely.
Lovely sky captures :)
Have a great weekend...

Thanks for bringing a light moment to the strange and interesting times in which we live. Beautiful, lush images. Thank you, dear Sylvia.
Exquisite sky shots...and your quotes are so fine. The second photo is by far my favorite though all of them are wonderful. I see you have a new banner. You are going to have to put all of these into a book. They are just the best. Genie
Gorgeous views of the sky. Have a nice weekend.
Beautiful skies, they almost make me forget the news.
super captures!
Magical mind blowing captures.
Your skies are always so lovely and inspiring. Great, and timely, quotes. Do you think they are EVER going to get us on the right track? I'm beginning to have my doubts. Have a lovely weekend, Sylvia. Mickie :)
Beautiful pictures, wry quotes! Good advice (not to watch too much news!)....Now that quote about better not to wring your hands, but instead ring your congressman"...people did do that after the President's speech -- I read that congressional phone lines and websites went on overload from constituent contacts. But it didn't seem to do much good did it? Or maybe the quote meant "wring" (as in their necks ;>).....
What marvellous skies! And a lovely red maple too. Have a great weekend.
Your quotes are so very appropriate for this very stressful time. I'm so mad at our government right now! Luckily your beautiful skies calmed me down.
these are superb shots and it's hard to pick a favourite. i love them all.
cool, seems like you made a "blogmakeover". Or is it temporary?
Love your shots, but love the header even more. Have a great weekend Sylvia.
Gorgeous sky images, as always :)
Wish you a great weekend. Sylvia!
Irene
HAve a GREAT WEEKEND :D
That's a wonderful series of different skies again, Sylvia.
The first one is my favourite because of the warm colors.
Enjoy your weekend!
Hi there - more words of wisdom from Mr. O'Rourke! Not sure I'd want him to run a government - but he has a great turn of phrase.
Fav image this week - No. 2 the big fluffy ones. Splendid.
Have a good weekend.

Lovely skies, Sylvia. Such a nice refuge from that nonsense playing out in the other Washington.
Wishing you peace and beautiful skies for your weekend.
Just love the cotton wool clouds!
This I do...
Excellent pics, I simply loved the 2nd and the last one.
lovely sky photos, Sylvia! do have a good weekend. :)
Super impressive skies! Happy weekend!
SWF
Wonderful shots, as usual, and great quotes too. I especially like the one at the bottom, it's universal.
Now can you please tell me the name of the red plant? I would love to have one of these but I'm not sure I can keep it in summer, I'm afraid it will not survive the heat...
Your headers are getting funnier and funnier! :-)
JM, those are Japanese Maple trees -- you might want to check them out here: http://www.nurserytrees.com/Redleaf_Japanese_Maple_Availability_2006.htm

Just stunning Sylvia! You are a fine photographer...
Wonderful view of you skies. And I like that red tree very much.
Hope you have a great week:-)
