I saw many interesting skies while in Okanogan for the weekend of July 4th. Ever since I started participating in Skywatch Friday, my head is in the clouds. Sort of. I'm forever looking upward instead of forward which could be dangerous. Hey! As long as I'm NOT driving it's okay. Right?
I'll start you off with Saturday afternoon. We are in a popular flight path for airliners flying high overhead. I'm always seeing their contrails streaking across the sky. I captured this interesting signature left in the sky by 3 jets.

As evening fell, we headed south to Brewster to watch the fireworks. Boy did the sky look like it was on fire as the sun dropped down behind the Cascade Mountains. It was spectacular!

Sunday brought a different viewpoint at sunset but still not disappointing.

What a lovely sunset! All the pictures are really nice. Zorro in the sky :)
Hard to beat our skies isn't it, Sally! And we do have the wildest contrails/vapor trails! These are fantastic shots! I'm like you, ever since I started with Sky Watch, I've got my head in the clouds, sky! Have a great weekend!
happy thursday sally.
those last two captures are beautiful...that sunset over the cascades...wow.
have a lovely weekend.
You've captured some really wonderful skies. Great variety.
Very nice & beautiful photos! Great shots
Happy Sky Watch Friday & Have a wonderful weekend!
Ha ha ha it really looks like a giant Zorro visited you.
It would be extremely difficult not to take a shot of those beautiful skies. That's why I let the husband drive when we go on a trip :)
Enjoy your day.
Agreed my eyes are usually on the skies too. Great Skywatch Friday post!

All beautiful skywatch shots...the sunset Is spectacular...I love the last shot with the soft glow...
I just love seeing scenes from the Okanogan. These skies are beautiful. Like the Zoro and the old farm equipment also.
That glow is beautiful.
Wow, great shots.
The multiple pictures really tell a nice story. Photos. Love the contrails and the red sky at night!
Beautiful skies all, but the sunset over the Cascades is special!
I love the serenity of the picture in your header. These sky photos are lovely, especially the soft glow. The sunset is striking; so strong a color.
Really super photos!
Lovely gentle end of the day.
Beautiful contrail shots. Beautiful views.
The Okanagon is beautiful!
Sally: That is a lovely series, I like that third one the best with the red sunset.
It's Zorro !!! :-)(and then I saw your comment about the mark of Zorro) :-)
Those sunsets are beautiful.
One so dramatic with it's firey colour and the other too so lovely with their soft pastels..
Great captures..
I love the Zorro sky, very cool. All of your photos are beautiful but I especially like the soft glow on the last one.

lovely images, thanks for sharing
What a different environment you have there at your Okanogan house. It must be fun to get such unique photo ops from what you find on the western side of the Cascades. Your sky shots are terrific. You really had great weather for the 4th. Love the colors...(hubby is up in Anacortes enjoying the colorful skies there, but I'm stuck down here!).
Love those grasshopper shots too - very detailed!
Thanks for checking out my SWF shot. I posted other pics from Mono Lake on my travel blog if you want to check them out.
Very beautiful skies, and who doesn't love those showy red ones? But the glowing one below is lovely also.
Nice set!
