Absolutely beautiful skies! And I read your opinions in earlier posts too, I agree many of them even I am living near Russian border in Finland and we have here different problems, as you can guess :)
Have a pleasant Friday!

Amazing skies you've got there in Oregon!!! The first with layers of red and blue... the sun and twilight are dancing together... and dancing atop the mountains... wow. The last with its dramatic texture, as if someone has taken the clouds and pulled them apart like you would a cotton ball. Terrific shots!
What beautifully colorful skies you’ve shared today! Methinks I could sit and watch your lovely skies indefinitely.
I’ve published on both blogs this morning – SkyWatch/Haiku Friday at Sacred Ruminations and another HF post (in which I ‘reflect’ upon my upcoming Blogoversary) at Small Reflections containing a ‘Fall Thank You’ for all … just because. Hugs and blessings,

The Guardian
He settles into his chair, sitting very straight, looking out the window, Bushy white eyebrows and distinguished, well groomed white beard. He’s the perfect, argus-eyed professor-knight with eyes alert and aglow. Perhaps a pince nez for a final touch, well, maybe that’s a bit too weird, Keeping watch, guarding, protecting me and our small, cozy castle. Men and women, young and old, dogs and cats and birds, friend or foe, None are ignored or given passage without a menacing growl. But as the light fades and the shadows deepen he leaves his post, and with a sigh ruffling his beard, he curls up at my feet as I fall asleep.
I'm interested in almost everything. Use to like to travel, but it's too expensive now. I take Tai Chi classes, swim, volunteer in a Jump-start program for pre-schoolers. I'm an avid reader and like nearly everyone these days I follow politics avidly. I'm a former teacher and Special Projects Coordinator for a Telecommunications company, Assistant to the President of a Japanese silicon wafer manufacturing company. Am now enjoying retirement -- most of the time. I have two daughters, one son-in-law and two sons scattered all over the country. No grandchildren.

Fear is the main source of superstition, and one of the main sources of cruelty. To conquer fear is the beginning of wisdom.

Sylvia, are you sure that third one is not from Michaelangelo's Sixtene Chappel ceiling? They are so very beautiful.
All together are gorgeous pictures!
