Sky Watch Friday



Time to share our beautiful skies again! We would love to take a look at yours! Click here to sign up! This meme is delightfully hosted by Klaus, Sandy, Ivar, Wren, Fishing Guy and Louise. Many thanks to you all!

Our skies here in Seattle, Washington can be spectacular and sometimes they change so quickly you barely have time to point and click. That's what happend just a few days ago -- all of these shots today were taken in less than fifteen minutes.

Good morning Sylvia,

I was visiting Bagman and Butler this morning and someone thoughtfully mentioned your name and quotes by Kahil....I just smiled and said to myself, "that's my Sylvia" (not in a ownership kind of way).

I just love those images of a sky with beautiful clouds...they convey such peace.

Thanks Sylvia

lovely skies-shows what a little weather moving around will do...we have clear bright skies most everyday but I'm not complaining.

Beautiful skies, Sylvia. An active, personable sky.

I like the last one too! But i guess each is worth a camera shot....story sequence...

Purple and gold are 2 of my favorite sky colors .. well done!

Photo Cache said...

It seems like the photographer has to be on his toes the whole time, else he'll miss a good shot.

Thanks for sharing.

Your skies are gorgeous! It's wonderful the way the sun has coloured the clouds.

Louise said...

I love those clouds! The color, light and drama is wonderful!

Very dramatic buildup and a stunning climax!

I love the way the drama builds in this sequence. Almost like a scene from a movie. So beautiful.

I not only admired your sky during my visit. I also would like to thank you for putting the WAAD button on your sidebar today. As a mother of one of those beautiful children it is the most important for me to spread the word and make her life as enjoyable as possible. The more we know the less they suffer. Thank you agaain so much.

Great series of pictures. It is amazing how quickly our skies change out here.

Yogi♪♪♪ said...

Very delicate colors. Great series of pictures. Thanks.

It kinda looks like that right now here in Bellingham Sylvia. The sun has crept in under the clouds just before sunset showing bushes in the process of leafing out surrounded by the black tapestry of the sky. I am looking forward to the sunny weather we are supposed to have this week then.

david mcmahon said...

Great shots, especially the first and last ones, Sylvia.

Lew said...

An explosion of color in your sky! The beauty just keeps expanding.

Linnea said...

Very dramatic skies...lucky you! Hope you will have lots of spring weather soon. I'm heading up to the tulip fields this weekend in Skagit Co....hopefully I'll see some in bloom and see some awesome skies like these...

Wowza...agreed that last shot is my favorite. Nice Sky Watch post.

Beautiful series, Sylvia, and amazing how quickly it changes.
When it comes to winning SWF photos, I don't think they get any better than the one you use as your masthead background.

Beautiful shots, and you are right, the sky changes soooo fast. When I see a striking sky, I RUN to get my camera, because I know it could be gone in the blink of an eye! ;)

What Can I Say?

What Can I Say?
I'm interested in almost everything. Use to like to travel, but it's too expensive now. I take Tai Chi classes, swim, volunteer in a Jump-start program for pre-schoolers. I'm an avid reader and like nearly everyone these days I follow politics avidly. I'm a former teacher and Special Projects Coordinator for a Telecommunications company, Assistant to the President of a Japanese silicon wafer manufacturing company. Am now enjoying retirement -- most of the time. I have two daughters, one son-in-law and two sons scattered all over the country. No grandchildren.
