Here are some clouds somewhere between Seattle and Arizona, from that otherworldly perspective, above. I don’t know why it’s exciting to see clouds from above, but it is. I think it activates my childhood fantasy of bouncing or resting on them. Anyway, I thought it’s pretty.

It’s not that great a photo but I had to post it anyway. I’ve seen pictures of this kind of cloud but have never seen it myself. Finally, this week I did. I think it’s so cool!

Here’s something a little different for Skywatch Friday. This was taken a few weeks ago in my backyard. It was cold, but yes, green and beautiful.

This was taken from a moving car on the way to Portland last spring. We never got to experience the rain that the skies promised since we were long gone by the time the deluge hit.

This was taken from a hill at my friend Stella’s house in Kent, Washington, in June. In the summer, there is no place more beautiful than the Seattle area, but it’s a short time of bliss.

Yesterday I was driving towards downtown, Puget Sound just out of view on my left, and saw this sky. Hope you like it for Skywatch Friday.

My folks used to live near Ft. Lauderdale in Florida. I took this many years ago and it’s still a real fave of mine. I love this time of day, and there’s nothing like pink, billowy clouds over water for a serene feeling.

The unrelenting gray days here in the Pacific Northwest make me long for sunshine, although I am thankful we are not enduring an arctic cold wave like many other places right now. But I thought I’d share a photo taken at our last house in the autumn. That house was on a hill that faced west, so I was lucky enough to enjoy spectacular late-afternoon light on many days.

I’m just in a sunset mood. Here’s one from Arizona; hope you like it.

Browsing through some old photos I found this I took somewhere in Florida in 1983! I really don’t remember where, maybe down in the Keys. But a pretty sky, a relaxing tropical feel, and a good start for the new year, I think. Here’s to scenic beauty and peace and relaxation in 2009.
