Sky Watch Friday!



Sky Watch is hosted each week by Klaus, Sandy, Ivar, Wren, Fishing Guy and Louise and offers us a great opportunity to share our lovely skies with people all over the world! Click on the Sky Watch icon and sign up and join the fun!

These are some skies in Oregon -- they have beautiful skies there just as we do here in Washington and I thought I'd give you a little change scenery.

A golden sunrise!





Interesting cloud formations. Let your imagination give them a name!

Beautiful sky views. I can always tell a Pacific Northwest horizon line with those tall, pointy pines. And those clouds! Nicely done.

Very beautiful photos! Nice colours! I love the last two of them. The white special clouds look like flying swans.... :)Wonderful! :)

Anonymous said...

Marvelous sky views ... methinks the second is my favorite but they're all wonderful. I took sunrise shots this morning and have been snapping photos of the changing skies as I sat on my patio writing until a few minutes ago. Perhaps I'll share later at Sacred Ruminations ;--)
Thanks for visiting me at HRG.
Hugs and blessings,
