FOR SKYWATCH FRIDAY. It is time for us to hit the road. It's always hard to leave the people we love. And the beautiful Fall weather we've enjoyed this week sure isn't making it easier.
It seems like it never fails -- as soon as we are really ready to leave (anyplace where we've been for longer than a day or two), the weather turns beautiful and we think of all the things we meant to do and all the people we meant to spend more time with.
But the chilly rains will come and it is time for us to flee south, with a few detours along the way.
FullTime-Life will be on a short blogging break and then I'll try to post at least a little bit of our roadtrip as we amble our way back to our Florida home (slowly if we have good weather along the way, quicker if we don't).
Such gentle, dreamy shots - and such a contrast to downunder here in OZ!! Hope you're enjoying your break - look forward to your return!!

Wow - what amazing skies!

Enjoy your break,! I agree, Such beautiful weather really does tend to take you in a dreamy state... where you go in nothingness and think of all the good in life...
Come back soon Sallie, eagerly await to hear out all the wonderful travel stories from you :)

Hi there - so true about the weather always being best just as you leave!
Hope to be back in touch when you reach Florida!

I know the feeling when it starts getting rainy and cold. We got out first taste last night with our first snow IN OCTOBER, no less. Sights like these will be missed, but they will be waiting you you when you get back. Thanks for stopping by...I thought you all were already on the road. Have a safe trip and stay in touch. genie

Wow, those are beautiful scenes! I can see why you would be hesitant to leave. Wishing you safe travel as you make your way to your winter destination.

Such beautiful sceneries! The reflections in the bottom shot are just gorgeous.

Heavenly skies over the lake.. are you sure you want to leave and head south?
Although you can always look back at you blog photos and be warm at the same time, but smart girl that you are U already knew that, right Sallie
hugs,
Pam

First of all I have to apologize to you Sallie. Somehow I lost the link to your blog that I use to have and didn't even realize it was gone.
I think it had something to do with blogger changes.
When I click to subscribe, I get nothing but odd letters.
I did add your blog back to my blog roll.
Sorry about the mix-up
xo,
Pam

It's not for nothing that they say parting is sweet sorrow. You captured a few more lovely views of this place before leaving, Sallie. Happy road trip!

Love the pastels on these shots. They are both beautiful and reflect your sadness of leaving. Have a safe trip back to your winter home.
Posted by: diane | October 28, 2011 at 05:39 AM
Wow - two fabulous sky pictures!
Have a wonderful trip south!
Posted by: Lady Fi | October 28, 2011 at 12:18 AM
Sallie, what a lovely place, and am sure you have many fond memories. The circle of blue cloud is so pretty, and the reflection created is just so pretty.
So long Oregon, and have a safe and pleasant RVing....
Posted by: Ebie | October 27, 2011 at 10:22 PM
Love the soft blue reflection in the last photo Sallie!
I know how hard it is to leave family but I wish you Happy Trails on your way back across this beautiful country.
I'll be looking forward to seeing what you find this time.
Godspeed!

What lovely photos - I can see why leaving would be bitter-sweet. I guess your family has told you we got snow here in CO. Be safe on your travels, Sallie!
Posted by: Barb | October 27, 2011 at 07:48 PM
Happy travels, Sallie!
STARFALL
In the sky the stars shine bright
Not by day, but through the night.
Should the stars begin to fall,
There would be no sky at all!

I know exactly how you feel Sallie. But, it is an integral part of the Full-time life style, and there will be lots of blue skies or warm weather ahead. Happy (and safe) traveling.

Such beautiful skies. Safe travel, Sallie, and here's hoping for some good travel weather. I'll look forward to some awesome posts sometime soon.

Happy journeying, Sallie. My brother and his wife have left the coast of BC and are heading south for a few months, but are planning to return for Christmas. I don't know if I'd want to be pulling a big 5th-wheel up there in the winter, but my brother is braver than I am.
Take care, and we'll all be looking forward to hearing from you.
