  5. Beautiful Sandy. And oh my goodness thank you for all you've done for us by hosting Skywatch every week; I hope someone half as good will take over. (And I hope you are OK and just 'retiring' because of other duties...I have never fully understood how people with full-time jobs and family have time even to write blog posts, let alone host as you do!) Thanks for everything.

  9. This is one of those skies you cannot forget quickly. The colors are stunning in their beauty. The way the light sets off the fencing is lovely. Thanks so much for hosting Skywatch. So sorry you are stepping aside, but you have definitely earned your break. I do not how hosters do it all. genie

    OH, I'm so sorry to hear you'll be leaving Skywatch. It's been running for ages and is my favourite meme.


    I hope you find someone or a few people to host. If not, contact me! I'm not sure what hosting means though - time is rather limited - so if there is someone else without a job and kids, then great! Also, I'm in another time zone over here.

    Thank you so much for hosting this wonderful meme over the years!

    And this is a stunning shot!

  24. I was sad to read that this is your last last SWF as a host - I'd throw my hat in the ring - but (there is always a but) - I'm just about flat out with WBW!

    At first I thought the fence was a bridge of some sort.

    Nice picture.

  25. I can never get enough of seeing enticing skies, now days I get to see some stunning view of sunrises on my drive to work. But man do I miss my stunning vistas from the white house on he hill, I will never stop missing those.;)
    This is a beautiful capture Sandy, dramatic and soothing at the same time...
    Have a lovely weekend,
    xoxo

  31. Thanks for hosting Skywatch Friday, and good luck. I was going to throw my hat in the ring (with the caveat that I don't do Facebook), but it looks like there are several volunteers already. And that's a lovely photo for this post!

    ReplyDelete

    Sandy,

    Put my name on the list as well. I could host it. Possibly would recruit others to help out. Since I knew Klaus and this was his baby, I would hate to see it go.

    Thanks, Dina
    Email me or leave a note on my blog if needed.
