Look up and tell us what you see! Are your skies blue, are there beautiful clouds, are they stormy? Do they take your breath away? Sky Watch is hosted each week by Klaus and the Sky Watch team of Klaus, Sandy, Wren, Fishing Guy and me! Look up and share what you see with people from all of the world who contribute to this meme each week!
The coming week is going to be a wonderful one for me as I get to spend time with two of my favorite blogging friends who will be here in Seattle! And as I looked up at the skies and enjoyed the beauty I can always find there, I was thinking what a wonderful thing friendship is. So, here are some of our beautiful skies and some lovely thoughts about friendship.
A joy shared is a joy doubled.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Friends are the sunshine of life.
John Hay
Friendship improves happiness, and abates misery, by doubling our joys, and dividing our grief.
Joseph Addison
Hold a true friend with both your hands.
Nigerian Proverb
Friendship is not diminished by distance or time, by imprisonment or war, by suffering or silence. It is in these things that it roots most deeply.
Pam Brown
Friendship is the only cement that will ever hold the world together.
Woodrow Wilson
Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow.
Don't walk behind me, I may not lead.
Just walk beside me and be my friend.
Albert Camus

elegant photos!
I'm really watching the sky today. About 6:45-7:00 this evening that giant banner will be unfurled, along with other displays, at the Sounders soccer match ( watch ESPN2). 100 feet of soggy sheeting will not be fun!
Your evening skies are marvelous! I am transcended... Also, the header is great. Wonderful job done by your friend.
what a coincidence yesterday i was looking up friendship quotations and some of what i read are here on your post today.
another super set. happy weekend.
Beautiful skies.
A joy shared is the sunshine of life.

I like your new header picture and your skies are beautiful.
Very beautiful. You have quite the variety of skies, but they're always lovely. I like your new header!
Your header is a work of art Sylvia.
Very unique. And the skies are awesome.
Love all the quotes.
Wishing you a lovely weekend.

Wonderful photos all of them. The clouds in one of them looks like the snow mountain we have here in Norway, .. not at summer, hehe:-)

These are all wonderful as usual Sylvia. The next to the last one with the sun on the water is stunning. The second shot where the mountains and clouds join is another favorite. I'm actually not sure if part of that one is mountains or clouds but whatever it is, it's a beauty. I hope you have a great time with your blogging friends. That's fun to get together with friends made through blogging.
And what lovely sky it is. Loved the second picture from the bottom a little more than others.
I like the first one very very much !!! Best regards from Berlin and Samos :))
Great clouds and a wonderful header!

I loved the jokes in the two posts below, but I just had to comment on these glorious skyscapes. They look marvelous.
That last picture in particular takes my breath away! I assume it was going to storm soon, but what a beautiful sky it made! Thank you (and the rest of the team) for hosting SWF! I always look forward to it.
