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.

  2. 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

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

    Thanks for sharing.

  29. 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.

  34. 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.
