SkyWatch Friday: Flying in the clouds


Photobucket
If you look closely you might notice a tiny speck in the clouds above. Below is a shot after I zoomed in on the speck.

    OMG, I loooove that first image. So wispy and so dreamy.

    Can you feel the autumn in the air? It feels like fall out here.

    Shelley Lake in September. Does it get better? Okay, yeah, Carolina Beach in September. Alright, any beach anytime of year. But you get my point.

    Thanks to everyone for visiting and I'm not sure but for those asking, I think the bird was a gull. It was pretty far away and there aren't usually many gulls at this lake this time of year (mostly geese, ducks, great blue herons and a few others) but there are gulls later in autumn and I think that's what it was (an early gull).

    Beautiful. North Carolina photos are hard for me to take these days, though. They remind me of the paradise I am missing!
