SkyWatch Friday: SkyWatching at the beach
I fear this will be an extremely long post because the conditions were perfect for skywatching.
The shots I'm using are from three different days.
There was a chance of thunderstorms every day but none materialized.
Since it wasn't a long trip and from the look of the grasses, plants and trees there had been sufficient rain this summer, I was glad we didn't have rain although I also enjoy storms at the beach.
One good thing about a chance of rain is there was an abundance of beautiful clouds.
I think clouds are very beautiful to watch form and change.
Much of the time the ocean was a very vivid blue.
There was a great variety amongst the different clouds.
There were also a lot of birds to add variety to the sky.
Since I picked so many shots to use I fear I'll run out of things to say.
There were several small fishing boats just past the breaking waves.
I love watching sea oats waving against the sky.
The beach wasn't crowded which I always like.
I think the wispy cloud looks like a dancer with long legs.
I like the mix of darker and lighter clouds.
I guess I could skip words in between the photos but I like to break the shots up a little.
When I started my other blog, which was my first one, I used photographs as breathing spaces in between the words.
Now that both of my blogs are primarily photographs, I use the words as breathing spaces in between the photos.
The gull was flying with a kite.
At first I thought the kite made it harder to shoot the birds.
However, after my brother in law mentioned the kite could be an opportunity, I started trying to get shots of the birds flying with the kite.
I love to shoot sunsets at the beach.
Although the sun set on the other side of the cottage, on the sound side, the clouds gained some color at sunset.
I upload my photos to flickr and add the image address to the post as I compose it.
I keep thinking I must be nearing the end of the photos I uploaded for skywatch.
However, each time I click the button for the next shot another one I picked for skywatch comes up.
I think this must be the most shots I've ever put in a post.
It takes more time to pick fewer shots because I have to spend more time figuring out the ones I think are the best.
It's quicker to pick a whole big bunch of shots which seems counter intuitive.
The part that takes more time with a big bunch of shots is thinking of something to say in between.
Thank goodness, I finally made it to the last shot because I'm getting tongue tied, or is it finger tied.

Our World Tuesday: long weekend at the beach
This post is going to be thrown together hastily.
I took a ton of photos and haven't gone through them yet.
I randomly picked a few of the photos for this hurried post.
I couldn't believe how well the weather cooperated with us.
There was a chance of thunderstorms every day but we didn't even see any rain except a little storm we drove through on the way to the beach.
I don't mind a storm at the beach but since we weren't there for very long it was nice having such good weather.
It was hot but most of the time a nice breeze made it comfortable and the water was a good temperature.
The next shot is a gull fishing. The first shot was of pelicans and the fifth and six shots are of willets.
It was nice to get out of town and see my family at such a beautiful place.
I don't know what kind of birds are in the sea oats below.
