Sky Watch Friday!


Sky Watch is hosted each Friday by Klaus, Sandy, Ivar, Wren, Fishing Guy and Louise. It's a fun way to share your lovely skies with people all over the world! Click here to sign up and join the fun!

Here in Seattle we've had a little of everything from clear, summer blue to the lovely colors of the sunsets. In this first shot -- do click on it to embiggen, I caught a plane climbing steeply in the late afternoon sky. It looks almost completely vertical.

    All very beautiful pictures. The jet looks like it's going up like a rocket.

    I was kinda expecting a little thought or something under the photos. Something I could disagree with!:-) Hah.

    I love the soaring plane, caught in its upward climb. And how all the sky shot patterns seem to fan out towards the viewer.

    I agree, the jet looks like a rocket. Gray skyes here so yours look especially nice.

    These are lovely shots!
    Was the pilot trying to get above the clouds? :) Great capture.
    Have a wonderful upcoming weekend.

    They are all beautiful, but my favorites are the second and the fourth. Looks like you had a much better weather week than we did here in Maine.

    Beautiful cloud harvest again, Sylvia! :-)

    Some of the trees could almost have been caught from my windows. I don't have that fabulous view of yours, though.

    Thank you for your kind comment,
    I am also always looking forward to your skies!

    May the coming week bring you beautiful skies and happy days!
