You're doing great with Adam's camera. Keep up the good work. See, you've added something else new to your life. You're seeing the world much closer because you're looking for something that would make a good picture. You're seeing more detail around you.
Really! That is super cool to have a view like that from your deck! I'd be out there all the time! What awesome photos!!! ~Michele~ Mountain Retreat- Canada
Dark and light clouds trying to compete with the sun, Like Mccain and Obama sparring and insisting they are the one,
Pine trees on their toes, trying to see whats been going wrong.. Shivering in the cold breeze, waiting for the November song....
A sharp breeze blows in from the Chicago side, saying "you need to watch her"... Getting rid of those dark Alaskan clouds isnt going to be easy , I bethcha......
But the sun is strong, November will drive those dark clouds away from the sky, A smile on Sylvia's face as she enjoys the scene from up there on high...
A cloud here, a ray of the sun there, nature is life's best teacher, And Sylvia says, Aha! this is something my blog is going to feature!
These pictures are wonderful. How great to be able to see skies like this at your own home. I like the picture at the top of your blog very much also. I love to click on your blog and see it first thing.
Hard to imagine that life could be "normal" under those "abnormal" skies! Glad you recognize your blessings. And thanks for sharing them with us! Very nicely captured. Enjoy! (www.reluctantfarmchik.com)
Nope … it certainly doesn’t. Your view is spectacular indeed. It’s hard for me to capture skies w/o electrical wires and roofs, but I do what I can. I’ve shared ‘pink clouds on blue skies’ (and a bit of haiku) at Sacred Ruminations ;--) Hugs and blessings,

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.

Cool! You can come sit on my patio and see different views of the same sky. Your view is lovely.
