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 address under the post title to be taken to the SWF website where you can sign up. 
We've had a wonderful variety of skies this past week, from gray and pouring rain, to enormous, fluffy white clouds and beautiful sunsets!  Doesn't get much better than these! And as I sit here at my desk watching the day draw to a close I realize once again how very blessed and fortunate I am! Hope you all have a wonderful weekend! Enjoy! And an early Happy Father's Day!!

    Let me be the "first" to tell you what a lovely collage of beautiful skies you have put together! Always a treat to see what inspiring quote you have left for us to contemplate. Have a "perfect" weekend, Sylvia. Mickie :)

    Oh, great skies with those white fluffy cumulus clouds and beautiful sunsets Sylvia.

    Your friend is untiring in creating beautiful headers for you. You are blessed indeed.

    Happy weekend my dear!

    Lovely skies as usual Sylvia. I wish to share the lunar eclipse of yesterday with you http://blogs.gonomad.com/traveltalesfromindia/2011/06/total-lunar-eclipse-june-15-16-2011-gurgaon-india.html posted it on Thursday wondering if I should make it a skywatch entry too even then?

    There's something about the clouds in the first photo, and in the last one, that I really really like.
    Great collage, as always, Sylvia.

    That's a great collage of wonderful skies, Sylvia. You are absolutely lucky to have such a great view of the sky from your house. When I'm in our garden I can only see sky right above me. So I still keep telling about our short holidays at sea last week ... :-)
