SkyWatch: Bird caught by accident



The bird in the lower right part of the shot was caught by my camera accidentally. I liked that. For skies around the world, please visit the home of SkyWatch Friday.

    Great sky photo, yes, it is not surprising that almost all sky images containing a bird, so typical. :o)

    This nice little extra makes the shot stunning.
    Hope you will have the chance to visit Arches. Wonderful place for sunrise and sunset. I had only two hours in the evening to visit the park.

    It's always a big bonus when I find interesting inclusions in my photograph after I uploaded it on the computer.

    Happy skywatching, Carver.

    a beautiful sky and the birdie added a surprise to it...like how you've framed with the trees on both sides.
    have a wonderful evening.

    You shouldn't have confessed. LOL I would have though you'd caught it on purpose. ;-)
