Sky Watch Friday!




Sky Watch Friday is hosted each week by Klaus and the Sky Watch Team of Klaus, Sandy, Wren, Fishing Guy, Louis and myself. Each week hundreds of people from all over the world share the beauty of their skies! Won't you join us and share yours?
Click on the icon, sign up and show us the beauty of the skies in your part of the world. PLEASE do read and follow the instructions on the home page before you sign in. Thank you and enjoy!

First of all I'd like to wish each and everyone of you a very Wonderful Holiday Season for the year! And my shots for the day were taken last evening at the harbor and one from my deck. Beautiful skies have been enjoyed, written about, painted, photographed, these are just a few samples of why that is so!



Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky.
Rabindranath Tagore



In the sky, there is no distinction of east and west; people create distinctions out of their own minds and then believe them to be true.
Frederic Lawrence Knowles



The sky is that beautiful old parchment in which the sun and the moon keep their diary.
Author: Alfred Kreymborg



All of us have a place in history. Mine is clouds.
