    You do have such beautiful skies on the west coast, and you capture them so well, Sylvia.

    I love that sun coming through the clouds and the last sunset. Ok, I love them all LOL. Aer Lingus has a big sale on American fares, including one to Portland near where my sister lives... Sylvia you're always tempting me out to the Pacific Northwest, and I'm wondering if next year I'll really make it? Happy skywatching!

    These magnificent skies of yours make me miss my summer vacations up at the lake in Maine. Some of the best skies I have ever seen were over and across that laske.

    Beautiful. I don't blame you for living there. The next to the last one is my favorite. The skies here were very dark today. Bad storms and rain all day.

    I think Skywatchers are becoming obsessed with clouds--with good reason. 'Tis the season, I suppose--but the variety showing up this week is great. Thanks for the additions.
