Sky Watch Friday!



And another week has slipped by!! Time to look up and enjoy the beauty of our skies!!  We’re having amazingly mild weather for Oregon in January!! I’m not complaining mind you, just surprised.  Here are some favorites from now and from earlier! Hope you enjoy!!

    You're sky high today...beautiful. I don't understand Alcott's quote, though. I'd think if you were learning to sail your ship you'd be terrified of storms! :)

    After a series of serious windstorms, we in the northwest have also been enjoying a softer January than most. I like the last quote about learning to sail a ship. As the first comment says … a storm is never less scary but approaching it with knowledge and self-confidence helps.

    Gorgeous skies, Sylvia. We're on the rollercoaster - 50 degrees and sunny for a couple of days, then 20 with snow for a day. Then back again. Enjoy your weekend!
