I had to include this one today although I had posted it on my blog earlier this week because it reminds me of what a shining and beautiful world we live in -- in spite of economic worries, politics and all the other things that tend to distract us from what is truly important -- our environment and the need to keep it safe and clean for those that will follow after us.
Today's skies are from Oregon. On a day to day basis it's hard to decide where the skies are the most beautiful -- Washington or Oregon. I've lived in the northwest for nearly seventeen years and I'm still overwhelmed on an almost daily basis at the lovliness, not only of the landscape, but the skies and their ever changing and incredible colors.
These clouds made me think of large, white birds roaming the skies.
And the rich, vibrant colors that need no words to describe them. The promise of a lovely night and a new day tomorrow.

These are all terrific. And you got some great mare's tails, I never seem to get good shots of them. Bravo!
ReplyDeleteSylvia, those are AMAZING! I love those ghost-geese flying, but the second one is perhaps my favourite, such a lovely (heavenly) blend of colour.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots, Sylvia! So glad you decided to share them with us today. I love all the colours and that one with the clouds that look like birds is great!

ReplyDeleteYou've written a beautiful photo essay for today. It's very thoughtful and positive, something we could use more of.
ReplyDeleteGoodness gracious, Sylvia! What incredible skies! The colors are so vibrant and those streaky clouds are so unique. Wow!

ReplyDeleteThey're a balm, thank you; it's been pretty gray here for the past week.
A nice series of photos, great clouds and colors.
ReplyDeleteWow, really nice shots! I thought the first one would be my favorite. It wouldn't have been the same without the kid running ring in the midst of the sun's reflection. But there were a couple of other really great ones. Good job! :-)
ReplyDeletewhat a variety of clouds...love the sunsets and sunrises. also the cloud birds. One of my writing participants wrote a poem about figures we see in the cloud formations when we are children.
ReplyDeleteSylvia: You changing skies were a nice touch to your post.
