Sky Watch Friday!


It's time to share our skys once again! Sky Watch is hosted by Klaus, Sandy, Ivar, Wren, Fishing Guy and Louise click here to sign up and show Your Skys!

Here in Seattle we've gone from gray to sun to gray and back again! Always something different, something beautiful.

This one made me think of some other worldly, one-eyed creature peering down at us one evening last week.




Vapor trails were playing games in the sky this day and I love the rainbow colors although I'm not sure where they came from.

And finally an incredibley beautiful backdrop for the Tulip tree!

    Love those skies, especially the light in the second-to-last: the tulip tree and its blue sky however are a perfect grand finale. Really lovely!

    I hope your weekend is full of blue skies too--happy skywatching Sylvia!

    Those are all beautiful shots and the tulip tree is a favorite of mine. We had a problem this year with the tulip trees blooming too early and they got hit by snow. Good to see yours.

    I see the one eye as a bright nose and above it the face has its eyes closed. Perhaps it is sleeping in the shade.

    The tulip trees are beautiful. You are blooming Sylvia.

    Still wish I could steal your first picture with the 'eye' or moon, to pair with my parabola woodcut ...done a long time ago but, none-the-less, an interesting coinicidence that both of them appeared on the same page of my blog last week - as fleeting sky watch imagery tends to be.

    In Seattle, just wait 5 mins for change in the weather. That first image of the face is amazing. Looks like it's wearing sunglasses.

    The first shot looks to me like the something in sky is shooting down from a great height. Zooming in on you! Very unusual.
