The sun came out yesterday!!! I was ecstatic! No, nothing particularly amazing or colorful, just BEAUTIFUL blue with puffy white exclamation points -- the soft white clouds seemed to be a little giddy themselves!
“The Sky is the daily bread of the imagination” Ralph Waldo Emerson
“Oh! `darkly, deeply, beautifully blue', As someone somewhere sings about the sky.”
Lord Byron
Sure enough the sun went away by mid afternoon, but I went down to the harbor anyway. It was worth the trip. Click to embiggen and see the mountains.
“Excuse me while I kiss the sky.” Jimi Hendrix
“I dreamed I was a butterfly, flitting around in the sky; then I awoke. Now I wonder: Am I a man who dreamt of being a butterfly, or am I a butterfly dreaming that I am a man?” Chuang Tzu
No blue for us today, just snow! Nice shots and quotes as always, Sylvia.
ReplyDeleteLOL, Sylvia. I do tend to take Hawaiian sunshine for granted.
ReplyDeleteWhat beauty surrounds you!
ReplyDeleteLovely sky shots and matching words, Sylvia.
ReplyDeleteI am so happy that you had the sunshine for a while at least. But your mountain pics are just gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteha! Normally we have skies just like those but this week has been stormy all the way!
ReplyDeleteYour skies have a lot more sunshine than ours today. I can't believe it's even a bit chilly.

ReplyDeleteHope the sky stays clear and the sun will always be bright.
Enjoy the weekend Sylvia.
Wow, some great clouds to 'see things' in, they're wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI hope they stay blue where you are -- I won't even talk about mine today because they're sitting on the ground! LOL
Seeing the blue sky after many gray days is especially wonderful. Beautiful photos. I love the views of the mountains over the bay.
ReplyDeleteThe Jimi Hendrix quote is great!
Sylvia these blue skies are glorious! I can see that we both allow the blue sky to lift our spirits!
ReplyDeleteLove the Q. by Chuang Tzu re: butterflies! sigh NG
I can feel your excitement at seeing the sun and blue sky and I love all of the quotes, especially the last one about the butterfly dream.

It was nice to see the blue sky in your first pictures (it's been a while since we've had any blue skies around here), but I also like the pictures from the harbor with the mountains reaching up to the clouds.
ReplyDeletei feel like i've traveled thousands of miles just to visit your beautiful skies, thanks for posting
ReplyDeleteExcellent shots. The last two I specially like.
ReplyDeleteYes we have gorgeous sunsets and darn good sunrises too. Mine was the sunrise. MB
