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.

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.

I was away at a conference in Carefree Arizona and had a window seat both ways. Here is a view of clouds we don’t usually see. For more photos of skies everywhere, click HERE.

I took this photo when I lived in Northern California, and I still like it. Such a tender sky. Click HERE for more photos of skies around the world.

So fun to browse through my archives with the mission of finding a sky photo for Skywatch Friday. You can find other people’s versions of Skywatch Friday HERE. I really like this photo, taken from a fast-moving car (I wasn’t driving!) while we were in Arizona last year. I remember how gray it was in Seattle at the time, and how much I loved the vast, brilliantly sunny, crystal clear air landscape.

This is something different. My sister Jo in Camano Island, north of Seattle, was up at a very unaccustomed early hour and was rewarded by this sunrise as seen from her deck. I couldn’t resist posting the series she took here for Skywatch Friday. For more Skywatch Friday photos, click HERE.

This is my first Skywatch Friday post. Doesn’t it look like a guy grinning and wanting to shake hands? Taken at a golf course in Kent, WA. They golfed; I took pictures.
