Skywatch Friday - Fire in the Floridian Sky

After a stormy day last Monday in Cocoa Beach complete with a tornado watch and heavy downpours, our evening started with this spectacular sunset. Maybe facing the front hotel portico wasn't so bad after all. Our balcony gave us a great viewpoint for observing the blazes of orange and yellow fanning across the western horizon.

The downright awesome team of hosts - Klaus, Wren, Sylvia, Fishing Guy and Sandy - bring us Skywatchers together each week to share our shots of the sky. Come join us by clicking on the banner above.

Skywatch Friday #59 - Sunset at Banks Lake

Last Saturday, we spent the afternoon at Banks Lake near Grand Coulee, Washington. Banks Lake is ringed with basalt cliffs and is a very scenic area.

Basalt Cliffs

Karl and his friend, Sean, were kayak fishing while I had a wonderful little beach practically to myself. The dogs and I played in the warm lake water and explored the shore area.

I found sixteen golf balls which I took back to the Okanogan house for whacking around our property. Then you go hunting for them in the tall grasses. It reminds me of an Easter egg hunt.

I watched the sun set across Banks Lake. The smoke from the Oden Road fire near Okanogan had drifted that way and added to the brilliant colors in the sky.

...And a Few Minutes Later

Then the mosquitoes came out and it was time to leave!

Skywatch Friday #58 - Camano Sunset

A few weeks back, smoke from fires in British Columbia, Canada gave us some spectacular sunsets down in the Puget Sound area of Washington. This night was no exception. All I did was crop the pictures down to take out the power lines across the top.

Skywatch Friday #55 - Stanwood Sunset

This past Saturday evening, after a very busy day, we were driving home and saw a beautiful sky scene. The sun was setting to the west and we were headed east. The sun was lighting up the thunderheads that were building over the Cascades. Vibrant pinks and oranges made for a spectacular view.

Karl graciously drove me down to the lake so I could get some better shots. I just love how the colors were reflected in the calm waters.

Pretty Ending to an Otherwise Drizzly Day

Today started off like a typical day in the Pacific Northwest...gray and drizzly. I didn't even take the camera with me to work since it looked so gloomy outside.

After work, we walked the dogs down to the lake and I was rewarded by a sky painted in watercolors.
