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. Hooray!! We had some sun yesterday and the day before and night before last I caught this sunset over a period of about a half hour.

    Nature did reward you with a beautiful sunset, I hope you get many more though it looks like the weather pattern may be returning to normal, if the forecasts can be believed.
    I never think of Einstein as a philosopher though I know he streatched his mind to topics other than math and physics.

    I didn't realize that Albert Einstein was a philosopher as well as a physicist. I like what he had to say about kissing and driving!
    Thanks for some beautiful sky photos. I hope you have a wonderful weekend.

    Great shots all of them and I like the third one the best because today I'm looking for a little color. Old Al Einstein was on smart guy with a wry sense of humor that I didn't know that he had and I love his quote on kissing while driving. He doesn't seem that kind of guy.

    Hi there - I noticed the two canola pictures as well - the web moves in wonderful ways!

    Of your pictures I think I like the one with the plane and the last one the most - the plane is a great addition to the picture.

    All beautiful. The last golden one is my favorite. And I love that quote -- Alice was a real character wasn't she, but her simple philosophy pretty much works! I didn't know that Einstein left so many pithy sayings. They make him sound very human and not an egghead at all.
