It's been a great week, a great year and a great birthday yesterday! And I thank all of you for helping make my every day beautiful! We're going camping this weekend to Whidbey Island and I hope to be able to get some wonderful photos to share with you. May you all have a beautiful, fun weekend! Our skies weren't particularly dramatic or colorful this week, but the clouds were interesting.
We must be the change we wish to see.

ReplyDeletePS: Eiffel, Octave Chanute, and other French engineers developed what became a standard method for building with structural iron (and later steel). Thus mining headframes do look like the Eiffel Tower, or for that matter the inside of the Statue of Liberty. If you lift her skirt.
Happy belated b/day. We do have similar skies/cloud patterns.
ReplyDeleteVery lovely this way.

A wonderful collection of beautiful skies! I love the wispy clouds in the second shot. They are so delicate.
ReplyDelete(sorry about leaving this question here, but I couldn't get either contact form at SkyWatch to accept my word verification... I was just wondering if we were still in season 4 or if we had changed to 5. I wanted to make sure I was tagging my posts correctly.)
Sylvia: What a wonderful series of skies with all the different clouds.
ReplyDeleteSylvia--isn't it amazing to think that there are so many fanciful cloud formations that we might even miss if we weren't looking up? These are truly the best!!
ReplyDeleteSylvia, you captured some really neat looking clouds. Wonderful photos, have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteWOW! Amazing clouds! I love nr 2. Your picture is so great.
