Sky Watch #15
Hi everyone. I hope you have all had a wonderful week.
Two weeks ago, on a Saturday evening, I went out onto the front steps for a moment, and looked up to the east. The moon was almost full, and there seemed to be streaks of pink in the sky. Even with my little point and shoot camera, I thought it looked pretty good.
I went through the house and out on the back deck. It looked even better, but the color of the sky had changed.
I turned toward the west.
And then I started into the house, and caught this picture in the window.
I continued inside and called my friend, Lisa, to tell her to go out and look at the sky. She took one look and said, "Let's go up to the bay." That's where we headed.
Others had the same idea and were there ahead of us.
Finally we got back into the car. The batteries in my camera were dwindling, but after a few minutes I tried once more, through the windshield.
Please go to Sky Watch, where Tom, Sandy, Klaus, Ivan, Fishing Guy, Wren and Imac - in other words, the whole team, work so hard to bring us these pictures every week.

Hi! These are all very beautiful. It was fun to go to the bay on the spur of the moment. And what a beautiful sunset it was. Well worth it and your photo's show it. Lisa
A beautiful sunset. A great series of photos for SWF. Well done :-)
Hey, check it out, this is the form I can comment with!! I totally don't know what's going on anymore, but am happy to be able to leave a word or two. I love your beautiful skies, so soft and gentle.
What a wonderful series of pictures, each one more breath taking than the last. I love the reflection in the window, thank you for sharing.
Bobbie, you have an incredible set of pictures!! The reflection in the window is neat... but really, every single one was worth checking out twice! Very nice!!
Have an enjoyable weekend!

Gosh Bobbie, these are just some of the most beautiful sunsets I have seen. Just awesome!
Absolutely gorgeous! There is something about the sun setting over the water that is just breathtaking. That's what I love about being here in Seattle.
Great serie of skies...
You are the best : smile...
Yes, beautiful photos...
you lead us through such a lovely tour of sunset pictures, then astound us with even more spectacular ones Bobbie. Well done and thank you for sharing these.
Have a good week.

This is so totally awesome! I love how you were able to catch the various stages of sky beauty. Wow! I am really impressed!
The first few shots definitely are interesting, but the last ones, from the bay, are absolutely magical. Congratulations.
Bobbie: It is wonderful to get a sky show and all in the same night is amazing.
These sky shots are simply stunning. The last ones especially draw me in and sweep me far, far away. Thanks.
Loved the window reflection and your bay shots are awesome!
wow there all beautiful i wouldn't know which to pick, gorgeous
Wow! These are beautiful pictures. I just never take photos and i should!
Crop and straighten the picture of the window, and you will have an even nicer photo
I don't know how it is with yoy, but when I see such a lovely sunset I cannot but take photos and they are always rewarding.Yours are no exception! Thanks for sharing. Have a great weekend!
I think I would hoard those sunsets like gold and let them out slowly to amaze and astound over a period of months of SW.
The window reflection is great too.
I LOVE sky adventures like yours. It's so wonderful in all directions (the reflection in the window was incredible), then you drive and still get more. Very nice post!
Your photos just get better and better as they go along. My favourites are those taken from the beach.
Just gorgeous!!
Thank you for your kind words and thoughts on my blog. I do appreciate it.
Wonderful composition!!
Happy SWF!!!!!
The photo of the sky reflection in the window is an award winning shot.
Awesome.

Wow Bobbie! You had a whole evening of skywatching-smart girl. I like the reflection you caught in the window! Perfect.
So many varied sky pics! It was indeed a purple sunset. It looks so serene.
Just amazing ! looks almost unreal !
What a gorgeous series of photos here … all are lovely, but the last three give me chills. Interestingly this week I tried a ‘moon’ shot of my own (albeit in the early morning therefore in the west) as the sun rose in the east. I’ve shared at Sacred Ruminations today. Hope you have a wonderful weekend too ;--)
Hugs and blessings,
Oh Bobbie, these are just wonderful ...

Those are a gorgeous set of sky photos. I love all of them.
I've also posted the moon today, as India sends it's first mission to the moon.
the colors and the swirls are amazing!!
one of the most beautiful skies ever
Great night of observation, Bobbie.
What a fab. collection of photos for skywatch. I think the second and the window are my favourites.
Your photos are as amazing as your blog is. I so enjoy it.
I love that second shot (I love purple), and I love the shots from the bay too - gorgeous!
The bay photos are magnificent! I could drink those skies in endlessly!
Fantastic photos and beautiful sunset indeed! The window picture was nice too. =)
