Sky Watch Friday!



Sky Watch is hosted each week by Klaus, Sandy, Ivar, Wren, Fishing Guy and Louise. Each week people from all over the world share the beauty of their skies. This is an opportunity for you to participate and share yours as well! Come join the fun and enjoy the beauty! Click here, sign up and enjoy!

As Fall moves into the Seattle area I have, over the past couple of years, noticed very subtle changes in our skies as the temperatures begin to drop and clouds gather. It's almost as though they're reluctant to leave, but at the same time, eager for a new season. These are a few that I have captured as Autumn eases in with the cooler weather.

This is the harbor where I go so frequently to take photos! Subtle changes and colors.



Don't often get vertical clouds like these.



And soft pastels, lingering from summer.



Trying to decide whether to be moody and stormy or be satisfied to be beautiful!



Pretty much decided to be moody -- after all, it's Fall, isn't it?

always lovely to spend time watching your sky images. oh i can see the leaves turning over there, our trees are not quick to respond to autumn, i suppose.

enjoy the rest of the week.

Lovely photos to welcome October, Sylvia! I think I like the bright sky and dark pines best, but that second one looks like a story happening! They're all beautiful.

Nice to see we're tuning in on the same frequency again this week. Through you I get to see what my son can see from his balcony (if he happens to be looking). Thanks again for lovely shots.

Love that vertical clouds Sylvia, very abstract. All shots are great though. Have a nice weekend.

Love the cirrus cloud capture, but they are all terrific! Indecisive skies, making things exciting.

Sylvia, our sky looks just like the your last photo right now. My photo this week, was taken this morning. I guess that fall weather can be very changeable. Getting cool here in Maine, too. How about there?

Hi Sylvia, I agree with your moody clouds. You showed us some beauty, and I could feel the cool and crisp weather. Great shots.

You're right - I sometimes think the world must create more detail as a thank you to those who take time to notice.

Beautiful photographs!

Such BEAUTIFULLY varied sky views as Fall approaches. We're not seeing much change yet in So Cal as the warm winds continue to blow off the desert but I'm HOPING the weatherman's predictions for drizzles next week are accurate. I'm ready for RAIN!!!!!!!
Hugs and blessings,

I love the wispy stripes of the second photo
