Sky Watch Friday!

Sky Watch is hosted each week by Klaus and the Sky Watch Team, Klaus, Sandy, Wren, Fishing Guy, Louise and myself. Last week 350 people from all over the world shared their beautiful skies. Click on the icon, sign up and join us. Please do read and follow the instructions. Let us see the beauty of your skies!



Lots of moody skies here in Seattle this past week, but they're still dramatic and beautiful if you take the time to look at them. These were taken last evening and they can still take your breath away!

    Oh wow! Is it already that time of the week? These are gorgeous skies, Sylvia. The clouds outside my window right now are all overcast and gray. Nope... change my mind, the weather is changing again.

    You had enough clear sky to give shape to the clouds. I suspect you must be ever on the alert for shuch a break this time of year.
