Sky Watch Friday!

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. So our new year is a week old! Hope yours is off to a great start. I was able to take advantage of the lovely days we had last week to get some interesting captures -- hope you enjoy them!

    These are all fantastic Sylvia. I love seeing the moon at different stages. I am also fascinated by vapor trails and the patterns you captured were great.

    Hi Sylvia!

    Yes, I'm back after a serious computer-breakdown. First of all: A happy New Year to you and your loved ones. And second I'd like to compliment you on another set of astonishing pics. Especially the one of the full(?) moon between the tree-branches...I love it!

    Have a great weekend!

    I see that you had some more great skies but I looks from the weather forcasts that is coming to an end.
    I suspect that you agree with Will Rogers about going with the dogs. Who'd want to go to heaven if God's other creatures were left behind?

    One can never go wrong with Will Rogers, and his comments are sharply pointed right at our current political climate.

    How lucky we are to have the peace and calm of the deep blue sky to remind us of the bigger picture.
