Sky Watch Friday!


Time to share your skies! It's Sky Watch Friday, hosted each week by Klaus and the Sky Watch team of Klaus, Sandy, Wren, Fishing Guy and myself. Each week hundreds of people from all over the world share their skies, click on the icon, sign up and share the beauty of yours!

As always it seems, here in the northwest we get endless and ever changing skies and I never tire of their beauty.



The sunrise is Gods greeting - the sunset, his signature. ~ Unknown



Even the most beautiful days eventually have their sunsets. ~ Unknown



Loneliness adds beauty to life. It puts a special burn on sunsets and makes night air smell better. Henry Rollins



Heavy hearts, like heavy clouds in the sky, are best relieved by the letting of a little water. Christopher Morley

Your blue and white skies are gorgeous! I can almost feel the warm spring breezes. :)
I found that first quote on a set of notecards many years ago and have treasured it ever since. I think of it whenever I see a sunset.

Providing depth to your skies and depth to your wonderful choice of quotes, the clouds are probably able to do so much.

I'm interested in almost everything. Use to like to travel, but it's too expensive now. I take Tai Chi classes, swim, volunteer in a Jump-start program for pre-schoolers. I'm an avid reader and like nearly everyone these days I follow politics avidly. I'm a former teacher and Special Projects Coordinator for a Telecommunications company, Assistant to the President of a Japanese silicon wafer manufacturing company. Am now enjoying retirement -- most of the time. I have two daughters, one son-in-law and two sons scattered all over the country. No grandchildren.
