06.24.2006 :: Saturday Sky

I find Saturdays around blogland to be a bit blah. It's hard to post when so busy with life. Wouldn't it be nice to have something to quickly post,keeping your blog active? And wouldn't blogland be dressed up a bit by beautiful sky pictures? Remember, it's not only blue skies that are beautiful! To be able, one day a week to see what the sky looks like around the world?
I'd love that.
Saturday Sky is born.
~Snitch the button (saving to your own server, of course. Don't make me come after you. If you don't know what I'm talking about, ask)
~Every Saturday, walk outside (or point your camera out the window) and shoot
ADDED LATER:
Yarn contest is now over. You are still invited to join in the fun, though!
Every new beginning needs a celebration. This one is no different. If you are going to participate, leave me a comment so we can all find your blog and you will be entered into a contest to win yarn. Mystery yarn at this posting, but yarn nonetheless. It will be nice. (most probably some appropriate sock yarn) I'll let you know when I decide which yarn. Yarn winner to be drawn at random from participants on Saturday, July 1st.
Without any further ado, here is my Saturday Sky~ Rain and clouds
How about yours?
Spread the word, let's fill next Saturdays blogs with our Saturday Sky!

Am I too late to join? I just noticed many a sat sky posts this past weekend and I want in on the fun!

Hello :o) I hope I'm not too far behind the crowd to join!
Posted by: JessaLu on 07.08.2006 AT 08:54 AM
Hi!
I just put up my Saturday Sky picture a few days ago. I took it on a Saturday, right before work, and didn't get to post it until Tuesday.
Posted by: Linda on 07.07.2006 AT 09:36 AM
I would like to join the 'Saturday Sky'. Great idea!
warm wishes

I love looking at the sky and seeing all the changes as the day goes on so, yes, count me in!
Posted by: Laura on 06.30.2006 AT 11:15 AM
I'd like to participate in the Saturday Sky. I've snitched the button and put in my own bandwidth! :) Do I just say I'm joining here or do I need to do something more?
Posted by: Kathleen on 06.28.2006 AT 09:57 PM
I seem to be posting sky photos lately.. so I'll join as well! Believe me.. I think we're all stretching to keep these ABC-Along posts coming!!
Posted by: Mouse on 06.28.2006 AT 08:58 PM
Oooo, I'm in! If I can remember to do it...
Posted by: jmk on 06.28.2006 AT 05:32 PM
Yay. Sign me up!
Posted by: wenders on 06.28.2006 AT 01:14 PM
I'll be joining, once I get my camera working. I have some photos from this weekend.

Posted by: Teresa on 06.28.2006 AT 11:18 AM
I'm a little slow this week. Hopefully I can still sign up for some saturday sky watching.
Posted by: Kelly on 06.28.2006 AT 08:32 AM
Hi Sandy,
I'm a semi-longtime reader of your blog and a devoted skywatcher. I started my own blog this morning in the hopes of being able to join the Saturday skywatchers. I'm learning as I go however and am not sure how to link to the button (totally embarrassed to put this on the comments section but can't find another way!) Let me know when you have time (you did say to ask...)
Jen
Posted by: Jen on 06.28.2006 AT 08:18 AM
Oh, I forgot to sign up! Is it too late? Probably not...
Posted by: Jane on 06.28.2006 AT 07:57 AM
I'm in too! What a great idea - I can't wait to see all these skies on Saturday!
Posted by: Jenn on 06.27.2006 AT 11:20 PM
Sandy,
You have a son...read the things i've learned from my boys entry on my blog. too funny:)

Posted by: Orchid on 06.27.2006 AT 07:03 PM
Very cool idea. I'm in :)
Posted by: Orchid on 06.27.2006 AT 06:59 PM
Awesome idea! Count me in!
Posted by: Dorothy B on 06.27.2006 AT 05:46 PM
Count me in if I still can join! I did a sky picture abt a week ago and would love to have a weekly area to check out the sky!! Sky pictures are so cool, especially after a storm like Alberto!
Will you list those who are joining so we can check out everybody's sky?
Posted by: Lynn on 06.27.2006 AT 03:03 PM
Sounds like fun! Count me in!
Posted by: Ranger Susie on 06.27.2006 AT 02:00 PM
Sandy
Count me in - Just a note- we have moved and I have lost the connector that connects the camera to computer. As soon as I find it I will participate!
Posted by: Cathy on 06.27.2006 AT 01:32 PM
I'd love to give this a go. It'll give me the motivation to try to figure out my new digital camer to capture the recently stormy Mid-Atlantic skies.
Posted by: danielle on 06.27.2006 AT 11:31 AM
Count me in!! I'm in a major summer knitting/blog funk!!! Too hot and sticky to do much of anything that requires energy! What fun motivation to see everyone's little piece of the blue sky each Saturday!! GREAT Idea!!!

Count me in Sandy. I'll try to post this Saturday, but it will depend on whether or not I can get internet access (we'll be on vacation).
Posted by: Diane on 06.27.2006 AT 08:15 AM
Sign me up! Way cool.
Posted by: kris on 06.27.2006 AT 01:18 AM
I hope it's not too late to join in!! count me in. And thanks for the great idea...
I love our AZ sky.
Posted by: Vicki on 06.26.2006 AT 11:16 PM
What a nice idea! I found you on Drew's blog. Now I think I'm hooked on your blog, too! Thanks for having a prize -- I'd certainly do it even without that!
Sus
Posted by: Sus on 06.26.2006 AT 10:28 PM
I'm in! I've seen this on several blogs I enjoy reading and it looks like a lot of fun. :D
So pleased to meet ya, Sandy.
I'm KnittyOtter checking in from Reno Nevada.
See ya next Saturday. ;)

Great idea! I'd love to join!
Posted by: sunflowerfairy on 06.26.2006 AT 04:30 PM
Next Saturday I'll be looking at the sky through my camera! Fun and fantastic idea!
:)
Posted by: Pooch on 06.26.2006 AT 04:01 PM
Me, too, I'll do Saturday Sky! :)
Posted by: Jenifer on 06.26.2006 AT 03:55 PM
I have been having a busy life and now I will have a great post for Saturdays. Thank you!
Posted by: Cathy in MN on 06.26.2006 AT 03:26 PM
Hey Sandy. I'm a long time listener, but a first time caller...why does every caller on talk radio say that? But it really applies to me. I would like to participate in your Saturday Sky Watching. Thanks!
Posted by: sandy j on 06.26.2006 AT 03:05 PM
Perfect!! Count me in! I love the idea of getting to see a piece of the sky around the world. I'm just bummed it's Monday and I have to wait 5 days to start now!
Posted by: Kathy on 06.26.2006 AT 02:49 PM
Ooo what fun! I'm up for next week (found you through Susan's blog)!
Posted by: Jess on 06.26.2006 AT 02:43 PM
What a wonderful idea! I'm so glad I wandered to Margene's blog, which led me here to the Saturday Sky here at your blog. You're right -- Saturdays in the blog world are bland, so count me in! :-)
Posted by: Zooks on 06.26.2006 AT 02:14 PM
I'm in for next week!
Posted by: Kathy on 06.26.2006 AT 01:45 PM
Oh, I'll participate! Er ... next weekend, since it's Monday now.
Posted by: Colleen on 06.26.2006 AT 12:52 PM
I am all about this...as soon as I get my camera back from being repaired. *sigh*
Posted by: Imbrium on 06.26.2006 AT 12:45 PM
I would love to do this. Hopefully the sky won't always look the same here but it usually does!
Posted by: janet on 06.26.2006 AT 11:08 AM
Nice idea! Count me in.
Posted by: suzanne on 06.26.2006 AT 10:45 AM
I missed this week but I'll be certain to post next week. I love this idea.
Posted by: hillary on 06.26.2006 AT 10:21 AM
Saw this on Crochet Dude's page. This sounds like fun. I missed this weekend, but be sure to stop by this Saturday. I've added the button to my blog. Hope I did it right.
Posted by: Tara on 06.26.2006 AT 08:53 AM
Hi Sandy. I've put your Saturday Sky button on my blog. If you don't mind, take a look and see if I did it correctly. Also, do you live near Tampa, Florida? I've been looking for a local knitting group.
Posted by: Lydia on 06.26.2006 AT 06:12 AM
I'll be starting next week. I get so busy at work Saturdays I'm glad to have a reason to make myself slow down and look up!
Posted by: Deb on 06.26.2006 AT 02:51 AM
Love the idea. In sunny SoCal we seldom have clouds, so I'm looking forward to seeing everyone else's real 'weather'.
Posted by: Elisa on 06.26.2006 AT 12:45 AM
I'll join in too.. next week!
Posted by: Beth on 06.25.2006 AT 11:26 PM
Good idea! Count me in. As luck would have it, I accidentally took a sky picture today, so I'll post a Sunday sky for Saturday sky.
Posted by: Sydney on 06.25.2006 AT 10:16 PM
Just a little late to the party...I will start next Saturday, what a great idea!
Ann
Posted by: Ann on 06.25.2006 AT 09:35 PM
Saturday Sky - what a great idea! I'm in for next week... too late for this one :-(
Posted by: Charity on 06.25.2006 AT 09:27 PM
Hi Sandy,
What a great idea! Hopefully next weekend will find me back in Virginia Beach surfing. And I will be SURE to take photos for you! I am so glad you like the sky photo that I snapped in STL.
=:8
Posted by: Kimberly on 06.25.2006 AT 09:04 PM
Well, Sandy, it's Sunday night, so I'm too late for this weekend, but I'll be out there next weekend, pointing my camera (the exact same one you have!) up at the sky.
Posted by: Susan on 06.25.2006 AT 08:39 PM
This sounds like a great idea. I found you from Crochet Dude's page. I'm late but will post one next Saturday.
Posted by: Brandy on 06.25.2006 AT 08:25 PM
Oh, I'll probably be late next week, too, since I'll be out of town in the northern woods of Minnesota, without computer access until the 4th.
Posted by: Chris on 06.25.2006 AT 08:17 PM
Ok, after seeing that I wasn't the only one running a day late, here's my picture.
(My sidebar stuff is on a separate page.)
Posted by: Chris on 06.25.2006 AT 08:16 PM
OH! count me in. I've got something from yesterday's sunset in the country.
Posted by: Celia on 06.25.2006 AT 08:13 PM
Hi, I found you through Susan's blog. I love your idea. Count me in.
Posted by: Patti on 06.25.2006 AT 08:06 PM
I'm in!!!! I think that will be great to see...
Posted by: Sara on 06.25.2006 AT 07:20 PM
Hi Sandy, I've added my photo (although a day late). This is a fantastic concept!! =)
Posted by: ~drew emborsky~ on 06.25.2006 AT 07:06 PM
Count me in! Hopefully next Saturday will have a pretty blue sky! :)
Posted by: Helen on 06.25.2006 AT 06:28 PM
Found you through Margene, Sandy. I have just posted a photo of last evening's sky on my blog. The sky is that beautiful blue again today!
Posted by: Peg on 06.25.2006 AT 03:57 PM
Count me in!
Posted by: Isela on 06.25.2006 AT 02:45 PM
Found you through Margene, and I'm in... it will motivate me to keep working on my sky photos.
Posted by: Birdsong on 06.25.2006 AT 01:30 PM
Found you on Norma's blog.
I'm in!
Posted by: Cookie on 06.25.2006 AT 11:48 AM
Great idea! What a great way to pick up blogland on Saturdays. I'd love to join. I missed out yesterday, So I'll make up today. Next week right on time! : D
Posted by: amanda cathleen on 06.25.2006 AT 11:13 AM
Oh I missed this yesterday! But I posted "Sunday Morning Sky" this morning! I'll try not to be late next week!
Posted by: Becky / Knitting Interrupted on 06.25.2006 AT 10:53 AM
Oh, do count me in. I watch the sky every day. Thanks for the fun:0)
Posted by: Abigail on 06.25.2006 AT 10:33 AM
You KNOW you can count me in on this one!
Posted by: Dave Daniels on 06.25.2006 AT 10:14 AM
Lovely blog - great idea! Sorry I missed the first round - I'll get my act together for next week, tho.
Posted by: chris on 06.25.2006 AT 09:36 AM
I was a bit tardy, but I love the idea. There's something about capturing a moment in time in a specific place that grounds one in the here and now.
Posted by: Julia on 06.25.2006 AT 09:35 AM
I missed this Saturday but I'll be posting my Saturday sky beginning next week. Thanks for a great idea, Sandy.
Posted by: susan on 06.25.2006 AT 08:35 AM
What fun! I've posted my Saturday Sky on my blog.
Posted by: Lisaki on 06.25.2006 AT 08:22 AM
I'll be there too!!!!!
Posted by: Cathy on 06.25.2006 AT 06:15 AM
What for a wonderful idea :-)
Count me in please
Heike
Posted by: Heike on 06.25.2006 AT 03:20 AM
count me in! too late for today since it's sunday in a few seconds, but i'll start next saturday. good idea!
Posted by: karyn on 06.25.2006 AT 01:59 AM
Count me in! It's nearly midnight, but I made the deadline. Just dashed outside and took a night picture. Wish I had known earlier, because it was a gorgeous sky day this afternoon. Perhaps next week!
Posted by: Melissa on 06.24.2006 AT 11:49 PM
i'm in! it's 11 at night here... but i haven't posted yet today - i'm gonna step out and see if i can find stars :D
what a fun idea :D
Posted by: rebecca on 06.24.2006 AT 11:39 PM
Sign me up! Sounds cool.
Posted by: Nicole on 06.24.2006 AT 11:37 PM
Im in starting next Saturday - its almost midnight here (and besides it was grey and pouring rain here all day....)
Posted by: Dani on 06.24.2006 AT 11:27 PM
Oh my gosh! I had way too much excitement this Saturday! I'll try to catch you the next one. Besides, today's sky was pretty nasty.
Posted by: Cara on 06.24.2006 AT 10:59 PM
Okay, gorgeous sunset pictures just for you on my blog. :)
Posted by: Scout on 06.24.2006 AT 10:47 PM
I'm in but I'll have to start next week. It is saturday night for me and the stars are not out at the moment.
Posted by: Leslie on 06.24.2006 AT 10:25 PM
I wish I would have found you this morning, or even earlier today. The night sky isn't too exciting. Just, well, dark.
But I do believe I will be starting it this next Saturday. I love the idea.
Posted by: Angi on 06.24.2006 AT 10:02 PM
I posted a Saturday Sky photo without even knowing about Saturday Sky. Just a great cloud photo during our threatening weather this afternoon.
Posted by: Jenny Raye on 06.24.2006 AT 09:44 PM
I like this idea! I posted my Saturday sky but in the dark in the rain - yeah, still kinda blah.
Posted by: Chris on 06.24.2006 AT 09:35 PM
I'll try and get a good one in a bit. Fun!
Posted by: Scout on 06.24.2006 AT 09:19 PM
I'm in! That's about what my sky looks like too. Yaaay, I have a post for next Saturday already :)
Posted by: Vicki on 06.24.2006 AT 09:01 PM
I love this idea!! Count me in! I'm off to shoot the sky before the sun goes down.
Posted by: Susan on 06.24.2006 AT 08:55 PM
count me in please...already posted a picture on my blog just now...hmmm, maybe my photo taking skills need some improvement....
Posted by: debbie on 06.24.2006 AT 08:24 PM
Count me in! I'm glad you're starting next Saturday, seeing as it's already Sunday here :)
Posted by: Donna on 06.24.2006 AT 07:55 PM
I love sky shots! Count me in too!!
Posted by: Leah on 06.24.2006 AT 07:38 PM
Rat's I didn't get the memo...oh wait... it's still Saturday and I still have time. Give me 5 and I'll have a picture up. Way to go GRRL!!!
Posted by: margene on 06.24.2006 AT 07:19 PM
I saved the button, took my picture, and perservered with Blogger long enough to get the post to work. I wish it were a more exciting picture, but this is our view today.

Posted by: LoriG on 06.24.2006 AT 07:15 PM
This is a fabulous idea!
I'm headed outside right now...
Count me in!!

Ooh, I'm in!
Posted by: carole on 06.24.2006 AT 06:04 PM
Okay--I'll do this . . . just as soon as the rain lets up enough to poke my camera outside without it getting ruined!
Posted by: --Deb on 06.24.2006 AT 05:19 PM
I posted one too! Finally summer seems to have arrived in western Washington.
Posted by: Lorette on 06.24.2006 AT 05:03 PM
I'm in too. Until I peter out, as I often do with these things.
Posted by: Cheryl on 06.24.2006 AT 05:00 PM
Well that's a good idea. Our sky is blah today :-(
Posted by: Kathy on 06.24.2006 AT 04:45 PM
Aargh! Scratch that last comment, I just realized my profile still showed my old blog. The link should be correct this time.
Posted by: Folkcat on 06.24.2006 AT 04:41 PM
What the heck, I'm in, too. Not that our skies have been much to look at lately.
If the forecast is accurate, I can probably use the same picture next week, too. :P
Posted by: Folkcat on 06.24.2006 AT 04:40 PM
I'm in! Of course my picture looks just like yours but without the tree.
Posted by: Jo in Boston on 06.24.2006 AT 04:32 PM
I'm in and posted. I've got sunshine, not a cloud in sight.
Posted by: Dorothy on 06.24.2006 AT 04:04 PM
What a wonderful idea - count me in - button saved, picture taken, just need to upload them both...
Posted by: Anne on 06.24.2006 AT 03:40 PM
I just put some Saturday Sky on my blog too. Very sunny today!
Posted by: Beth on 06.24.2006 AT 03:37 PM
Hello,
I joined too!!! And had to hurry to get a pic of the saturday sky LOL. It was already 8.30 pm hahahha.
Cheers Eva
Posted by: Eva on 06.24.2006 AT 02:39 PM
Posted! Thanks, Sandy!! ; )
Posted by: Vicki on 06.24.2006 AT 02:20 PM
I'm in! Mine is blue and cloudless at this moment. Gonna go snag a pic and post it before my company comes over for our afternoon BBQ.
Posted by: jae on 06.24.2006 AT 02:13 PM
Count me in too. I'll go take the picture, why not start now instead of next weekend. Just have to figure out how to get buttons on my sidebar, but, that'll have to wait awhile, I have to get ready for a wedding.
Sheri in GA
Posted by: Sheri on 06.24.2006 AT 01:38 PM
I posted one too (does it still count if I took the pic yesterday?).
Posted by: Lauren on 06.24.2006 AT 01:32 PM
Hi
I've been reading your blog for a while now. Would love to join the Saturday Sky. Hope I've linked your button correctly, if not please let me know. Will be posting photo about this today. :))
Posted by: Zoe on 06.24.2006 AT 01:27 PM
i'm going to play, when i get to my car. because my camera is in my car. and my car is in the driveway and i'm still in my pajamas.
Posted by: maryse on 06.24.2006 AT 12:56 PM
Let's see. How can we make this your H entry? Hm? Hee. Help!
Oh, all right. I was going to go for a bike ride. I'll take a photo of my High sky first. Hell of an Hidea!
Posted by: Norma on 06.24.2006 AT 12:42 PM
Great idea! My sky looked like yours first thing this morning but it has improved through the day. I'm just going to nip out and snap it! :-)
Posted by: Sue on 06.24.2006 AT 12:40 PM
Hi Sandy!
Another great idea from you!! Count me in! I am heading out with the camera right now....my sky is not much different than yours today. Maybe a smidge brighter.
