Not a beautiful sky on Sunday -- a hazy grey. But the air temperature was scrumptious with a steady breeze to cool the warm sun, perfect for visiting Lake Ontario's shore to search for polished glass and smooth stones, to daydream and to watch sailboats.
And what a great day for a race, even though cumulous clouds were forming to the south and west. But you can't see the clouds because this photo is looking northerly from New York to...Canada, if you have eyes like an eagle and a vivid imagination. :-) Lake Ontario is BIG.

These look like post cards...looks so peaceful.
That grey of summer is very like ours. I take it as the sky's permission to doze off in the heat for a while! These shots are wonderful.
I'm back ... oh no, cried blog world ... he's back!
Wasn´t it Kris Kristoffsen who had a great romantic song called SAILING?
It's the perfect soundtrack for this post.
No wonder they are called the great lakes (I have Walked on Lake Superior)
I'm always amazed at the variety of sujects in the SWF posts. These sailboats add interest and focus to that big lake and sky. Nice images!
Even if the sky was gray, I just loved thje first picture..., almost better than if the sky had been 100%.
Nice weekend to you, from Anne in Norway.
Beautiful... absolutely stunning photos!!
Mountain Retreat
Nice shots for SW.
Are you starting this one for new?
As for your questions:
- I use PHOTOBIE for placing the letters on the photos.
Google search for it and then download it because it's freeware.
Other freeware software that is good is COLORCASTFX, DCEnhancer and FOTOSKETCHER (the photo on my header was changed with this one).
Of course PICASA always helps.
And when I'm finshed reading the book, I'll be trying PHOTOSHOP CS3.
Big photos?
Well, for starters you must change some html codes from your blog.
Make the wrappers bigger.
Afterwards, when publishing the photo with blogger, see it's html code after it´s loaded.
Almost on the end you will see ... s400 ... change it to s800 ...
it is so peace...

I am now taking a diminishing dose of steroids for my Rheumatoid Arthritis pain and it works. I believe the chemotherapy drug is spelled "Methotrexate" that is used to treat a lot of things from cancer to arthritis will be used next. I just relish in being pain free.
So I am not participating in Sky Watch Friday just because I might not be able to make it around to all.
I enjoyed seeing your blog post for Sky Watch Friday and I thought your photography was excellent.
I don't know if you like to read or not but if you do this place is amazing.
I just got my first shipment of used books from Strand's bookstore in New York City, yesterday. They have 18 miles of used books. Think about that. Anyway, they got here and I am totally happy with those I chose to read. I had to start out by just choosing a category, like photography, and go from there. I don't know how in the world they can keep track of so many books.
Look up Strand bookstore or copy and paste the URL here: http://www.strandbooks.com/app/www/p/home/
very nice sailboats! looks fun.
My Sky Watch Friday post
Who said the Skies always had to have clouds... :O) or the sun or the moon.. these are picture perfect for Sky Watch and show us all the beauty you saw.. thank you.
Thank you for helping to make Sky Watch so popular and special. I hope you enjoy your Sky Watch as much as I do.

EG: Very nicely done, sailboats make a great addition to SWF.
I wouldn't mind sitting back and watching the sailboats on a warm summer day. I like your pictures!
Wonderful photos. Hazy gray is a good thing in this case.
Love it!
Beautiful! Sail boats always look so peaceful, don't they?
That's a wonderful way to spend the day. Beautiful skywatch
Excellent sequence of photos, with colors expectaculares, congratulations.
The sea looks very tempting!
Beautiful and serene sky with the water and the sailboats. Lovely.
Very moody and interesting photos. What a beautiful place to daydream!
Hazy skies have a beauty all their own, especially when combined with boats and water! There is a lightly moody effect!
Lovely capture!
Great shots!!
Pretty one for SWF! Which reminds me the quote... "we all live under the same sky, but we don't all have the same horizon".... Mine's up too hope you can drop by. Happy Weekend!
Awesome!!
Sky Watch ~ fun people taking amazing photos, nicely done.
I like a different skywatch. This reminds me of the round the island yacht race we have. Always a peaceful view to me.
Hazy or not these are wonderful shots
Wonderful sails on the lake!
I guess you and I were standing by waters edge looking out at our Lake!!
I love sail boats on the water. I enjoyed looking down your whole page from lighthouses to cobblestones to Dr. Who. I enjoyed my visit.
I've never been sailing, but it looks like a great time.
Happy Sky Watch Friday!!!
This is a wonderful post! I love the colours in these photos. The blue/gray sky and sea and the white boats! It is so perfect!
Petunia's SWF
We have grey skies too - only ours aren't combined with warmth!! LOL
Lovely relaxing shots.
Happy Sky Watch!

I like the way the color of the lake changes at it meets the horizon. I know this is a lake ('cause you said so) but it looks like our Bay.

Great shots!
Our family used to have a sailboat on Lake Ontario... I loved it when it was calm water, but at the first sign of high winds or rough water I wanted to go home! OK... I'm a total chicken when it comes to seamanship!
Great photos!
nice pics
Lovely .. I wish I knew someone with a sail boat
:-Daryl
Great captures and well framed.
Have a nice weekend.
Nice SWF.
This is a great shot! One of the I've seen. :)
These sailboats look like they are floating! What a great SkyWatch!
