Sky Watch Friday!

Time to share skies from around the world! Hosted by Klaus and Team Members Sandy, Wren, Fishing Guy, Louise, it is my great honor to have been asked to join the team! So, join us and share the beauty of your skies with people around the world! Click here to sign up!



For us here in Seattle fall is beginning to move in rather quickly now and we get an even greater variety of skies -- I've tried to capture a little of all of them over the past few days, from clear blue, to grumbling gray, to pastel beauty.









And what creature is that??



Ah, soft colors again!

    Every time I see the sky shots I think I would never believe the patterns were real if I saw them in a painting. I would think they were the product of an artist's imagination. Nature's patterns are so much more stunning.
