March is a month of considerable frustration - it is so near spring and yet across a great deal of the country the weather is still so violent and changeable that outdoor activity in our yards seems light years away. - Thalassa Cruso
The air is like a butterfly. With frail blue wings.
The happy earth looks at the sky
And sings. - Joyce Kilmer, Spring
The sun is brilliant in the sky but its warmth does not reach my face.
The breeze stirs the trees but leaves my hair unmoved.
The cooling rain will feed the grass but will not slake my thirst.
It is all inches away but further from me than my dreams.
- M. Romeo LaFlamme, The First of March
I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze. - William Wordsworth

Oh happy day, Sylvia! Have a terrific spring day! I do so love spring. I miss seeing that change in seasons.
Lovely dramatic skies, Sylvia. Happy weekend!
Gorgeous shots, and lovely poetry. It was only recently that I realised what Wordsworth was on about with his Daffodils poem - they really are fairly boring alone but in a crowd, a host, they are stupendous!
Beautiful skies and quotes.
Have a lovely springtime Sylvia.
Happy weekend ahead.
Love the quotes, Sylvia! Yes, March is often a time of frustration...but this year it has been quite beautiful in Ontario, so more like Joyce Kilmer's idea. :)
Wonderful post, word and skies. The last one is so beautiful with the light and the reflection in the water, just love it!
Husg from Norway:-)
Beautiful Seattle skies! I like the clouds in the first shot, and the last is so serene. It's nice to see the daffodils, we are not seeing them here yet...
Lovely blue skies and cloud formations. A
Sylvia these are all beautiful shots, but I love the clouds in the 3rd one and my other favorite is the last one....it's just gorgeous how the sun is shining down through the clouds and reflecting on the water! So peaceful and stunning! Have a nice day. ~ Debra

Such beautiful clouds and lovely words. And beautiful sign of Spring too. Love the daffs and the last images the most.
I'm transfixed by the last one.
Sydney - City and Suburbs
All marvelous as always, but that last shot is breath-taking.
Love Mr. Wordsworth.

So beautiful, and what a wonderful, golden glow in that last sky!
Such interesting skies at this wonderful time of the year. Beautiful pictures!
spring is really near Sylvia! the skies are blue, the flowers are gorgeous and the sunset is stunning! have a lovely weekend! :)
Beautiful shy photos. The last one is awesome. I can't wait to see my tulips and daffodils blooming again.
Oh what beautiful bright happy faced daffodils - makes me smile! Thanks for the spring hit.
Another great series of shots. I love the shape of the clouds in the first one, and of course the harbor shot. Flowers are always nice to see (great perspective) since they won't be seen around my part of the world for some time yet.
The lovely golden glow reflecting on the water in the shot of the harbor is beautiful, Sylvia.
If I ever get to Seattle I am heading straight the the park overlooking that marina.
What a beautiful golden post filled with outstanding verses. You did an excellent job tying all this in such a grand showing. So pleased when you take the time to visit me blog.
These are all superb! But...I REALLY like the last one! What a dazzling sunset complete with water and light reflections...nice one!
First, I love your header.... the flowers are lovely, so rich!
Second, the skies are gorgeous..
third, that lovely yellow flower ... the promise of spring ...
Your skies are gorgeous. I love that first shot. So much drama, light, and texture. And the peace of the last....
We have vivid blue or sheet rock white. The variety may come with April!
God bless, Sylvia.
Oh, those reflections in that last shot...It's spring just behind those dark clouds...in Dutch "Spring" means "to jump" so when English speaking people tell us "spring is in the air" we feel the urge to jump up...;-)
Have a good weekend, Sylvia!
Terrence looks at the sky
Yes, those first photos are so dramatic! Love that!
and the last one...
The gold in the water is splendid. I paused and enjoyed that one very much, Sylvia~
Enjoy the weekend~ hope it's nice and relaxing~
Maria
Lovely post again. The skies are wonderful.
As always, beautiful words to match the shots. Ontario skies are getting more blue!
You capture the most beautiful photos!!
Marvelous pictures!
Cloud pictures are wonderful Sylvia, but the last shimmering picture touches me most.
It seems we have more daffodils than usual this year, and mayb you do, too. I expecially love the first cloud photo - it is soaring!
Love your sky shots-and that's one of my favorite poems!! It's so perfect for spring!
Junie
Gorgeous sky shots and delightful quotes to go with them, Sylvia. Have a wonderful weekend!
Your skies are amazing Sylvia!
& your quotes are always inspiring.
Wonderful photos Ms. Sylvia, have a great weekend!
Lovely cloud pictures, Sylvia! I like the way you slipped in some delightful daffodils! Thanks for stopping by every so often; I appreciate your comments and friendship. The weekend ahead promises to be a fabulous one, so enjoy every second!
The clouds in your world always seem so full of depth - just lovely as are those little yellow blooms of Spring!
Have a wonderful weekend my friend!
Great shots of blue skies... and a fantastic sunset in the last photo.
Have a joyful weekend!
What a wonderful Sky Watch, Sylvia!
A splendid sequence of fine photos and inspiring quotes!
Have a great weekend!
such expressive skies! so much emotion in those clouds. The last scene is emotional too - but with calm serenity.

I wish You a happy and sunny weekend, cara Sylvia!
ciao ciao elvira
Gorgeous skies, the cloud formation in the first photo is stunning. Your daffodils are so pretty. It looks like spring has arrived in the Pacific NW.
Lovely blue skies.
Happy weekend!
Upeita kuvia! Täällä näkyy sininen taivas vielä harvoin, joten siitä iloitseekin sitten kovin. Hyvää viikonloppua Sinulle!
toivotteleepi Anna.
Just great to see the daffodils coming... we are still waiting!
oh wow!
Ah, love your daffodils!!!! They always are a symbol of Spring for me.
Dear Sylvia your pictures is always wonderful:) When i see this row of comments I'm intimidate :)
Thanks for your comments and for your kind words, and sorry if I'm late with the visits, but my time is so sort:)
Have a nice weekend.
Robert
such beautiful photos..i just love those yellow flowers. We're having extreme weather too but it's more on the dry and hot side. have a nice weekend.
Your pictures are simply gorgeous!
Thank you Sylvia for reminding what I miss about the west coast! Have a wonderful weekend.
Smiles
wow...wonderful sky photographs..and thanks for visiting my blog time and again :)
Very beautiful skies Sylvia!!!
Terrific sky shots, the drama of spring becoming true. Lovely flowers now start their show. And beautiful words. I won't forget Wordsworth's "Daffodils" way back in high school years. Great post.
beautiful photos and quotes! The first cloud does look something like a butterfly or something winged.
Spring today is warmish and sunny. The crocuses and daffodils are blooming and I'm loving it. Happy Spring to you, Sylvia!
I really like your sky pictures, but the daffodils look good as well.
The skies are so beautiful, Sylvia, but I still love those daffodils best - to me they always seem like the kick we give winter's backside as we push it through the door - no turning back to snow and frost when they arrive (hopefully!)
I hope you're having a wonderful first-day-of-Spring weekend!
