Sky Watch Friday!

The pleasantest things in the world are pleasant thoughts: and the great art of life is to have as many of them as possible.

Montaigne
Time spent laughing is time spent with the gods.

Japanese Proverb
If you cannot be a poet, be the poem.
David Carradine
Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me; I may not
follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend.
Albert Camus
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 and I. 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!

    Sylvia,
    I love the Japenese proverb...how true is that!? The photos are gorgeous and I particularly like the one with the proverb..the two trees silhouetted in the sky; beautiful!

    Lovely skies and great quotes again. Our skies are rumbling, I shut down the computer for awhile to avoid a lightening caused power surge. I enjoy thunderstorms but they can be hard on electrical equipment.
