| I'm so sorry to be behind time in visiting your sites. We lost out internet connection early this morning and I've just now managed to get online! I'll get to as many of you as I can, as quickly as I can. Thanks!! Time to share your skies, the beauty over your world, the clouds, the colors! Sky Watch is hosted each week by Klaus and the Sky Watch team of Klaus, Sandy, Wren and me. Join us and the many people from all over the world who share theirs with us each week! Click on the post title to be taken to the SWF website where you can sign up. I find it hard to believe that it is December already!! But then time does fly -- whether you're having fun or not!! And the weather has been anything but fun! But I can always manage to catch a few moments of gorgeous skies regardless and I do try not to miss them! I couldn't resist sharing one more shot of the our full moon!! Hope each of you has a beautiful weekend -- weather wise, other wise or whatever it takes!! |

Wow - the last two shots are just glorious! Our skies are laden with snow.
ReplyDeleteWow, Sylvia. These images are beautiful and I love the one of the full moon. Of course, I hang on every word of Mark Twain. Have a wonderful weekend. Blessings from Jo
ReplyDeleteBeautiful skies you are seeing there, sylvia. Always a pleasure to read Mark Twain's wisdom too.
ReplyDeleteGreat views of the sky and more of Twain's inexhaustible wisdom. I really liked the quote about reading or not reading newspapers.
ReplyDeleteSylvia, love the photos and the quotes. I just heard that the University of California Press has published the first volume of Mark Twain's autobiography--one that he had asked not be published until 100 years after his death in 1910. Should be some pretty amazing reading, since he really didn't hold back, knowing it would be such a long time before it was read.
ReplyDeleteGreat Photo's Sylvia !!!
ReplyDeleteYou sure do live in a beautiful part of the country..and thank you for sharing with us...please forgive me for not getting to your SWF photo's often enough and commenting on them.
Wow Silvia, all pictures and quotes are marvelous!
ReplyDeleteI'm in love with the last pic ;)
thanks for visiting my little corner.
Smiles from Uruguay :)
Terrific views of the sky. The last shot is stunner.
ReplyDeleteSylvia as usual these are all superb. I don't think I can pick a favorite because they are all so different yet beautiful in their unique ways.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous shots, Sylvia!
ReplyDeleteHave a nice weekend!!
Oh Sylvia,your photos are wonderful!You have such nice weather where you live.Here we have already snow ... the last winter is still not long time away...and now again snow!Snow is only nice when I go over a christmas market here...

Bellissima l'ultima foto :)
ReplyDeleteBuona serata.
Myriam :))
I like the golden glow of the setting sun on the cloud under the plane. (Of course, it could be a sun rise, you never know.)
ReplyDeletegorgeous set of photos as always Sylvia! i always find joy looking at them and reading quotes from Mark Twain. :)
ReplyDeletei love the first photo, Sylvia..it's so pretty with the white sailboats! happy weekend!

Sylvia, thanks for helping organise our Sky Watching party and always finding beautiful images to share with us.
ReplyDeleteSo lovely Sylvia!
ReplyDeleteEven your cloudy skies are awesome, Sylvia. Hopefully you'll get some beautiful weekends, and more wonderful full moon shots!
ReplyDeleteWhoa! The last shot silenced me. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat pics.
That's a wonderful variety of skies again, Sylvia.
ReplyDeleteI think the second photo is my favourite today, because we have hardly seen any sun this week.
Enjoy your weekend!
I really like the moon photo, Sylvia! Well done!
ReplyDeleteSylvia, the photos and the quotes vie with each other for attention! Have a nice weekend!

I'm not sure which I like most -- your gorgeous photos or Mark Twain's quotes. I'm glad I can enjoy both.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures-- incredible if they're sort of current. You really managed to get most of those few minutes a day when PNW skies are beautiful! That full moon through the bare branches is incredible -- I could hardly tear my eyes away!
ReplyDeleteI never cease to be amazed -- and really appreciate -- the way you take time to visit all of the SWF entries.
I love all your photos here, Sylvia but my two favorites are the airplane and the golden sunset! Happy Friday and have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteI don't know where to look first, Sylvia, - I love Mark Twain and his witty wisdom, but your pictures are really gorgeous!!!
ReplyDeleteso many lovely skies. I love seeing all the boats in the sea!
ReplyDeletewonderful series of shots, enjoyed the little snow fall !
ReplyDeleteWhat gorgeous skies Sylvia! I especially love the full moon!
ReplyDeleteThe quotes from Twain are great as well.
Have a wonderful weekend!
The last picture is pure magic!
ReplyDeletethese are great, Sylvia! I especially love those last two. Looks like another beautiful day for you!
ReplyDeleteSteller, as always. Thank you again for all the support you have given my blog. My appreciation is boundless!
ReplyDeleteLovely set of photos!
ReplyDeleteYou've got some magnificent shots, Sylvia. I really like the last one. And the one before. And one before that. :)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your weekend!
Love the photo of the huge moon. Time passes fast soon we will come to the end of the year. Have a nice weekend, Sylvia.
ReplyDeleteSo lovely, gosh! I love them all. I wish I have a camera like yours hahaha.
ReplyDeleteHappy Skywatch Sylvia. Mine is posted @iTravel
Wow, Sylvia! All the photos are fantastic, but that last one really made me sit up. It's gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful Sylvia! Its so lovely to see some sunny northwest skies as we are blanketed with our winter grey blanket of clouds right now. It was nice to see a little sun peek out earlier today, but it didn't last long! I Hope you are having a beautiful holiday season!
ReplyDeleteYour skies are always so beautiful. The lake too !
ReplyDeleteSylvia, it is snowing on your beautiful captures. :) You need to stay warm now. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteWonderfull sky views Sylvia.
ReplyDeleteI really like the MT quote about schooling and education.
I posted this night my first contribution to Skywatch Friday and don't regret it. It looks like to be a great way to discover beauties from all over the world.

all are very nice but my favorite is the first one, Sylvia.
ReplyDeletecongrats
nice friday

What a lovely collection of sky shots! Not always is the instantly most spectacular the shot that leaves the most lasting impression.
ReplyDeleteThe last shot certainly has the WOW factor, but the one I would like to see enlarged all over my wall, that I could enjoy for years to come, is the middle one with the layered clouds. It makes me smile and fills my heart with peace.
I do like SkyWatch!
My favorite pic is the second - the lines in the sky and water have a symmetry and synergy. But the last quote hit me right in the gut: I have been let down so many times, I am still looking for a friend worth dying for... have a blessed weekend!
ReplyDeleteThese are just wonderful photos!
ReplyDeleteSylvia,
ReplyDeleteClouds and skies, and so much of beauty to enjoy.
Thank you for sharing such brilliant images of beauty. The second is stunning and my fav!
Have a lovely day.

Hi Sylvia,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your lovely comment, as always.
I like the last two photo. It's such a coincidence that I, too, posted a photo of full moon.
Have a wonderful weekend.

ReplyDeleteLike you, Sylvia, I am shocked at the arrival of December. Where did this year go? Fortunately, even while working hard, I love what I do and know how to have fun besides. YOU know how to capture amazing skies... and I am blessed to have you share them with me. These are all wonderful. My favorite is the last one. Hope you're well and finding joy in the weekend, even if it gray outside.
