Sky Watch Friday!


Time to share your skies once more and enjoy the beauty of others skies as well! Sky Watch is hosted each week by Klaus and the Sky Watch team of Klaus, Sandy, Wren, Fishing Guy and myself. So click on the icon and join us in celebrating the beauty of our skies!

We've had so many different skies in the past week and I have so enjoyed getting out and seeing how many ones I could capture and here are a few.



Keep your faith in all beautiful things;
in the sun when it is hidden,
in the Spring when it is gone.
~ Roy R. Gilson



Every spring is the only spring - a perpetual astonishment. ~ Ellis Peters



At sunset Nature is painting for us... day after day... pictures of infinite beauty. John Ruskiin



That look'd
As though an angel, in his upward flight,
Had left his mantle floating in mid-air. ~ Joanna Baillie



Peace... is seeing a sunset, and knowing who to thank. ~ Unknown



Those playful fancies of the mighty sky. ~ Albert Smith

    Very beautiful skies - all of them. I haven't been doing Sky Watch for a while now, but I think of it every time I look up. It's almost irresistable to snap a photo.

    Oh Sylvia, these are all so gorgeous! The cloud formations are amazing backgrounds in each of them. I love how the clouds frame in the second pic of the blossoms so well...it's just perfect! And the sunset photos are lovely with those sun-kissed skies and water!

    Beautiful! My favorite quote today is the Ellis Peters one -- about every spring/perpetual astonishment. I need to look that one up and have it framed. It kind of describes my attitude to life. Every day is new and different.
