SkyWatch Friday: This week and an old one

The first shot was taken this week and is my official skywatch shot. I thought it looked like sheer fabric was tossed across the sky.

The second shot was taken in January and the sky wasn't that interesting but I thought the little bird was a cutie.

To visit other skies across the world, please go to Skywatch Friday.

    I agree that the first shot the sky does look like a sheer fabric.

    Yes, I love the first one! We have a lot of those gauzy, sheer looking clouds here in WA and I love them! But I also LOVE the little bird! Marvelous shots! Thanks for sharing and Happy SWF!

    Carver: Neat sky shot, the Tufted Titmouse is a great singer in the Spring.

    The clouds are amazing. You just have to capture them to remind yourself of their beauty.
    Love the bird too.

    I love you describe the clouds as being like sheer fabric. I'm glad you included the photo of the titmouse also. We don't see those around here, but I think they are so cute. Happy SWF!

    It reminds me of a seersucker tablecloth thrown across the sky for the bird to dine on.

    That first one is a stunner. I LOVE that sky. I've never seen that combo of puffy and wispy. And you are right, the birdie is a cutie. And I love the March Madness one!

    Thanks so much for your comment on my Skywatch guest post. Much appreciated.

    Really great top photo: that's a brilliant blue, and intricate lattice lace of clouds.

    I'm seeing a huge blue and white blanket, the kind that I wouldn't mind falling on me from the sky :)

    Nice one Carver!!

    p/s: I made a mistake at Photo Cache website calling out your name in the comment page.. *blush*

    I love the sprinkle of clouds in the first shot.

    And I've actually got one that looks almost exactly like the second one.

    I totally see the sheer curtains - pulled back to watch the clouds dropping cotton balls :)
    The little birdie is cute.
    Beautiful shots!

    Wow Carver, great cloud-- similar clouds were sighted over Long Island. That's what makes Skywatch Friday so fun. Seeing the world as the one big place that it is. Happy Friday 13th from your I-40 buddies over in Greensboro

    Oh I love the composition on that first! The cirrus mixed with the cirrocumulus make it so fun, like a popcorn sky. Wonderful shots!

    Oh wow... I really did think the sky looked stunning and you are right! It does look like a lace fabric of some sort laid across... beautiful!!
