Welcome
to this weeks Sky Watch!! And at this time of the year here in the northwest
you may just hope to see some beautiful skies!!! They have been all GRAY, rainy, snowy and
cold for several weeks now, but the sun and the beauty will return and in the
meantime we can enjoy staying in the house!!!
I’m
sharing some skies captured earlier and they are the colorful ones we like to
boast about!!
I
hope all of you have had a wonderful holiday season with lots of love and
laughter and wintery beauty!!!

“What
good is the warmth of summer, without the cold of winter to give it sweetness.”
― John Steinbeck
“If
we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant: if we did not sometimes
taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome."
[Meditations Divine and Moral]” ― Anne Bradstreet, |

I
wonder if the snow loves the trees and fields, that it kisses them so gently?
And then it covers them up snug, you know, with a white quilt; and perhaps it
says "Go to sleep, darlings, till the summer comes again.”
― Lewis Carroll, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland & Through the Looking-Glass |

“Winter
is the time for comfort, for good food and warmth, for the touch of a friendly
hand and for a talk beside the fire: it is the time for home.”
― Edith Sitwell |

that first one is awesome!
Super quotes. I'm sad that so many people complain constantly about winter. It's so negative and what an unhappy way to spend a quarter or more of the year. ;)
Keep nice and warm Sylvia... me I'm doing the opposite, trying to keep cool :) Beautiful skies as always.
I really love the smoothness of that first shot! Gorgeous, though, all of them!

...and that top shot is the TOP shot!!! YAM xx
Lovely shots, Sylvia!
Beautiful skies, Sylvia! They just seem to be there about every night or so. Always pays to "look up". Have a lovely weekend. Mickie :)
Gorgeous range of sky colours. Love the lighting on the water in the first photo.
Great colors.
You have plenty of vivid skies to off set the gray! I like that Steinbeck quote.
Glorious shots as always Sylvia. Hope you have a great weekend!
Beautiful ... Worth waiting for as each of your quotes says much more beautifully than I. I'm kinda lonesome for family today ... Sometimes I'd be willing to trade my sunny skies for yours, just to be closer.
Beautiful skywatch photographs. Meaningful quotes. Happy New Year! JM, Illinois
Marvelous sky shots and delightful captions ~ always a delight to visit here!
See you at the 'Oscars' ~
Wishing you a Happy Week ~ ^_^
Beautiful pictures Sylvia! I love cold weather myself, but our winters are usually mild.
That top photo is a bit alarming. Looks almost like a tornado forming.
I love the cloud in that first shot, Sylvia. Believe it or not I enjoy cloudy days! I hope you're enjoying your new year so far!
Beautiful skies! I think I would still love spring if winter were shorter. A month would be enough for me.
Awesome skies. Great clicks.
Really beautiful skies!! I like that anvil cloud!!
Beautiful post for the day! Love the colors of sky!
Hope you get some lovely colour back soon! Over here it's cold, snowy and gorgeous - at last!
Wonderful photos.
A wonderful series of images and quotes Sylvia - thank you for sharing (and co-hosting!)
Hello Sylvia, lovely quotes and gorgeous sky captures. I hope your weather clears up soon. Thanks for hosting!
Enjoy your evening, have a great weekend!
Well, you make winter sound almost good. Give me winter on the beach anytime.
Take care Sylvia!
Wonderful quotes as always. You must have a magical quote book where you flip your wand around three times and up comes another fabulous quote. Your photos are so pretty this week, but there is something about the second one with what looks like what we would call a weeping willow. The way the light of the sun shines upon it is stunning.
I like the shape of the first cloud. It´s interesting :)
