The weather has been doing a bit of everything. I took this photo just across the Youngs Bay Bridge from Astoria as you enter Warrenton. This, for sure, was the photo for Skywatch Friday. The clouds seem to swell and pitch, boil up, tear apart and then drift away peacefully like shredded fleece. We often see clouds dark and low in the marine layer coming off the ocean, but today's spectacle contained everything at once. Just in time. Today's aerial symphony coincides with the start of Astoria's 10-day music festival. It will be an energetic week, with the midsummer Scandinavian Festival going on as well, and today the passengers from a huge cruise ship overflowing the sidewalks. The only thing I don't enjoy is the traffic! In case you wondered, the sign says, "Astoria/Warrenton Airport left 3/4 mile."If you like photomemes, come check out "Reflections on Saturday." I'd love it if you'd help get it started!
And be sure to see Lee's Bend, Oregon, photo today . . . it's amazing!

Beautiful photo. I haven't been to Astoria in about five years but it is so beautiful.
I can just imagine how much traffic the festival and a cruise ship would bring into town crossing the bridge could take awhile.
Have a great weekend,
