    These are lovely, Sylvia, but I am sure that Portland has similar beautiful skies for you to admire . . . and capture.

    Such lovely photos. I like the quote about sunshine after rain; here we have sunshine before, after, and really, INSTEAD of rain. I wonder when this drought will be over...

    Happy Weekend to you, Sylvia. And happy packing, too.

    You've got some wonderful clouds there! I don't mind clouds at all, they make skies more interesting. But I'm so fed up with grey in grey!
