Sky Watch Friday!


Want to enjoy beautiful skies from all over the world? And how about your skies? Want to share them with over 350 other sky watchers? Then click on the icon, sign up and show us what you've got!! Sky Watch is hosted each week by Klaus and the Sky Watch Team with Klaus, Sandy, Wren, Fishing Guy and myself.

It's that time of year here in Seattle when we have a wide variety of lovely skies -- sometimes changing on an hourly basis! Here are a few!



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



Know where to find the sunrise and sunset times and note how the sky looks at those times, at least once.
Marilyn vos Savant



Look at the sky. We are not alone. The whole universe is friendly to us and conspires only to give the best to those who dream and work.
Abdul Kalam



The sky broke like an egg into full sunset and the water caught fire.
Pamela Hansford Johnson



The sky lovingly smiles on the earth and her children.
Henry Morton Stanley
