Sky Watch #14


Between Alaska and Vancouver, originally uploaded by airam94564.

It's Skywatch time again. And this week it also coincides with my day dreaming time. So here's my dream:

I want to live in my own island, something like the one pictured, where I could grow my own organic vegetables, tend to my goats, and chicken, and turkeys and where I could step out of my porch and fish for my supper.

After the chores are done, it's always a perfect time to skywatch.

Thank you everyone for visiting my skywatch entries every week. I truly appreciate it.

Keep on skywatching!!!!

... and basically just disappear from all the ridiculousness of the world around us... Imagine... no stock market concerns. No worries about economy, about much of anything. Terrific photograph!

Your dream sounds great to me. I love the idea of living on my own island too. Such an enticing shot and dream.

Leedra said...

This island at first glance does not look large enough for your dream, but on closer inspection it looks like they might be living your dream.

Klaus said...

Oh that is beautiful! What a great Skywatch post!
Cheers, Klaus

You are welcome. Come back and comment, please.

It sounds very delightful, your little island with organic vegetables. Would you have wireless on this island?

Lovely photo, so pleasant.

A beautiful picture. A dream Island; and dreams can come true, dreaming is beautiful. Dreams are the hope of the sensible ones.

reluctantfarmchik said...

Beautiful. And it would be fun to live on an island and be self-sustained. Very appealing. The sky above your island is particularly beautiful. Thanks for a great share.

Merisi said...

Each wo/man needs an island! ;-)

Anne-Berit said...

Beautiful photo,hope your dream will come true some day!

April said...

This is so perfect! Just gorgeous!
A great dream to have - I wouldn't mind that either.

babooshka said...

Love the misty mystical mountains.

Deborah Godin said...

Sounds like a plan - an island paradise doesn't have to be tropical!

Pearl Maple said...

Pretty photo full of all shades of blue, lovely view of the horizon that you are sharing with us all.

Thanks for your kind comments on my post.

Louise said...

I love your picture; the clouds have a mood about them that is nice. As for the island, I daydream the same thing with everything but the turkeys and fishing. So funny that there are so many people like that in blogland. It must be made for introverts!

Jules said...

What a magical place.... but i think the goats would have to be of the mountain variety - it looks very rocky!!!

Quiet Paths said...

Friend, this is what sailboats are for! Well, you can get organic veggies on the way.... Fabulous photo. I share your sense of awe at a place like this. Wonderful post.

bobbie said...

It looks like a painting. Beautiful!

Denise said...

Lovely photograph of a beautiful island. I like your dreams, I would love to live on that island also. Happy SkyWatch Friday.

Eddie D. said...

Very cool view of island and sky!

nina said...

That's a pretty one!

Carrie and Troy Keiser said...

Very pretty!
Somedays I think that would be the perfect place to live also .... but I'd HAVE to have the net!

Lawstude said...

what a wonderful shot. i love how the mountains/islands in the background got lost in the hues of blues. great job.

alicesg said...

Beautiful photo for SWF. A little island in the middle of the sea. Would be nice to own one...lol Have a nice weekend.

Dakilang Islander said...

napaboaniya said...

Would be good to live on an island and be away from everything once in a while :)
Happy Skywatch!

Bobbie in Hawaii said...

What a pretty photo. I love the layers of color shades on the mountains in the background -- and yes, the little island looks inviting.

kbguy said...

hi. drop by to read the articles and enjoy the photos.

luna miranda said...

just my kind of dream...can i be your neighbor in this island?:D

Aileni said...

been there, done that...
...but not in such dramatic surroundings.
Believe me, on that island, goats would be a problem.

Arija said...

If that's what you call ordinary, then I sure enjoy ordinary. Can I come and help you milk the goats and alternate in fishing for supper?

me ann my camera said...

The multi layers of mountainous skyline and horizon looks like a perfect place to dream from. A beautiful skywatch contribution!

Alexandra said...

One to make you go dreaming. Nice depth in this shot too. :)

Enigma said...

I NEED TO GET TO ALASKA!!! OR VANCOUVER!! I love your shot. Thanks for sharing and have a great weekend!

Catherine said...

Maybe...I would try..... But I'm not sure it would stay a dream for long term!
Your island, and its surroundings, are grandiose.

afanja said...

What a wonderfull green island in that blue world!

chrome3d said...

I´m not sure if that island is fit for farming but it´s fun to dream about it. I bet skywatching would be great all the time.

Wren said...

That's awesome.

Steven (Cavite DP) said...

i love your skywatch! i love the island so much! Very Solitary. And I hope your dream would come true! It's a very good dream!

Thanks so much for your kind comment! I really appreciate it. It made my day^^

Joy said...

It sure would be heaven to have your own island. We've got 7107 of them in the Philippines! :D

Thanks for visiting Norwich Daily Photo and leaving your comments. Happy weekend!

Wouldn't you want to share it with someone? I'd like to live by the sea, but not sure on an island though. Think I'd feel too isolated & wouldn't get any visitors.

SandyCarlson said...

This is very beautiful.

Skywatching in the evening is a wonderful form of rest and recreation! I agree with you. Thanks for being a part of it.

Ferdz said...

I've been reading about alaska a lot lately through Jon Krauker's books. I do hope I could visit the place someday.

Celeste said...

That's a great photo, very dramatic. I think we all feel the need to be able to escape to our own island sometimes! I certainly know exactly what you mean :)
