Sky Watch Friday!


Time to share your skies, the beauty over your world, the clouds, the colors! Sky Watch is hosted each week by  the Sky Watch team of  Sandy, Wren and me. And this week as every week, we remember Klaus and know that he joins us in spirit! 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

Chillier temps this week, more colors as Fall continues to spread across Washington and Seattle! Because of more GRAY, too, you have to be a little more alert to catch lovely and colorful skies, but they're there if you look hard enough. Hope you're all enjoying a great week with lovely colors and beautiful skies!!

Happy Autumn!!

And a beautiful weekend!

  27. Love the quote about not being able to “shake hands with a clenched fist”. It sends a common sense message that would be a great mantra in any negotiations around the world. Gandhi certainly had a way with words. He painted a picture everyone could understand but still cannot seem to implement.

  28. Hilarious header, Sylvia, and gorgeous skies.

    In the sky the stars shine bright
    Not by day, but through the night.
    Should the stars begin to fall,
    There would be no sky at all!
