What marvellous skies you've had this week!
Delightful skies this week Sylvia. Loving the deep blue with mixed formation cloudscape. Have a great weekend.
Bonjour sweet Sylvia,
Ahh thanks so much for this lovely post, the adorable selection of beautiful pictures, awesome sky in all of them and so lovely quotations.
Hugs to your heart,

Even in Mark Twain’s day taxation seemed over the top … and he had so many charming/humorous ways of expressing that. What would we do without our northwest clouds to draw interest and create beautiful sunsets?
Thank you for sharing such beautiful shots. I do love the quotes too!

You have shared some gorgeous skies with us. The quote from Aesop is both true and sad. Sad because it shows how long this has been going on.
I always like coming here to get my fix of Sylvia skies. Big bonus today: That header is just so cute!
love the last 2!
Hi Sylvia, first time I 've seen a quote by Aesop on blogger and it's here! I love the skies and the quotes as always, Have a great weekend. blessings, Jo

Your sky shots are gorgeous Sylvia. I love your header too.
Great skies, Sylvia. I definitely need to spend more time outdoors and these photos are inspiring me to do so..Aesop's times to modern times - looks like not much has changed in politics..
Wonderful views. The cloud formations in last shot is fantastic.
Your skies are fabulous. I love your header too. :)
Happy sky watching.

They get better and better: the quotes as well as your skies.
This Skywatch is positively addictive. [I should have been in bed hours ago]
Thank you and your team.
These skies are a luxury and a delight for my eyes, lovely.
so pretty and peaceful
Well, well. They were the same during Aesop's time too! Stunning pictures, as usual. I could never take a sky photo like yours!
your skies this week are over the top!!! wow, I love the clouds and the glow, especially in the second photo. simply beautiful. happy weekend to you Sylvia.
You match your photos with some awesome quotes. These are great, Sylvia. I am in awe of your skies, as always. Thanks for sharing!
I have been wondering for some time how you manage to leave comments for everyone . . . Now, looking at your header, I know! They say a dog is man's best friend, it appears he is woman's as well.
They do say troubles never come alone, at the moment I am handling three and a bit, not bad for an old biddy.
Love your skies and you . . . Arija
The timeliness of the Mark Twain quotes is astounding. The one about the legislature has never been more true than at the present...
lovely captures and quotes!
Magnificence always! You do have a great eye for capturing nature's beauty!
Your skies are always pretty any time of the day or night!
Queen Elizabeth is visiting Australia, but not New Zealand because our election is in November. You are invited to come.
Hi Sylvia, or should I say your Highness.
This Friday I look at your beautiful sky full of light and color to expect from a good weekend.
Greetings .-
Hi there - I have to travel to the four corners of Victoria for my skies - and you get them from your roof!
Splendid shots!
Cheers Stewart M.
Sylvia, looks like you have had a beautiful week! Your skies were gorgeous. Have a great weekend and happy skywatching!
Real beautiful skies ! and how was your meeting with Obama and wife ?? You could polish the crown a little bit more !
Beautiful skies, interesting quotes.
Lovely pictures and quotes Sylvia.
I have to laugh at your header again. Great photos, you are getting cynical again Sylvia. That's cause you are smart!
It's my day off, son is on Spring Break so we are headed to Oklahoma City to see their zoo. Fun, fun. If I can get these sleepyheads out of bed that is.
You are presenting a nice variety of skyshots again, Sylvia. Autumn is looking nice and friendly where you live.
Thanks for sharing and enjoy your weekend.
gorgeous skies!
love all of these photos.
i noticed that light little detail against the dark background!
simply stunning!
Sylvia, your snapshots never cease to amaze me! Wonderful. I also love your new header! Thank you...
Beautiful skies - I love the wispy, windblown clouds.
