Sky Watch!!

Welcome to Sky Watch!! Time to share and enjoy the beauty of our skies!! As I’ve written earlier, we are having amazingly beautiful, but hot weather here in Portland these days and nothing but clear, clear blue skies!! I’m not complaining, but let’s face it – all blue? No clouds? No colors? Beautiful but dull!! So, back to the files and some wonderful fluffy clouds for the day!!  Hope all of you are ready for a great weekend – regardless of the weather and skies!! Enjoy!!

Ah, summer, what power you have to make us suffer and like it. ~Russel Baker

In summer, the song sings itself. ~William Carlos Williams


Deep summer is when laziness finds respectability. ~Sam Keen

    OH!~ I really like the Sam Keen quote. Isn't it delightful to feel lazy yet not feel guilty?

    Pretty rolls of cloud shapes. The second photo looks like mountains on the move.

    Exactly the type of cloudscape I would associate with summer.

    Beautiful photos, Sylvia - I can't believe how hot it is in your part of the world. Summer never seems to make me suffer, but I've never lived anywhere really hot. Have a great weekend!

    I dunno, Sylvia ... it's been raining here day and night (almost) for a couple of weeks I don't think it's going to let up for awhile. Is that like Portland?

    Thank you for this post. I am such a fan of William Carlos Williams and his simple words that get lodged in your mind. I have never EVER seen a plum without thinking of "This is Just to Say" which I probably first read in high school over 50 years ago:

    This is Just to Say

    I have eaten
    the plums
    that were in
    the icebox

    and which
    you were probably
    saving
    for breakfast

    Forgive me
    they were delicious
    so sweet
    and so cold

    Wonderful sky shots, Sylvia, they are all much more interesting then clear blue sky. But for the rest some clear blue skies would be welcome here too after a very wet and stormy week.
    I hope you'll have a great weekend!

    It is so true ... Plain blue sky makes almost as boring a picture as plain gray. We need those clouds ))). And some slightly cooler weather, I totally agree. With archives like yours though, you always have something wonderful to make us smile! Thanks for that and for hosting, as always!
