SkyWatch Friday: A feather boa let loose on the sky

Normally I try to choose one shot for Skywatch Friday. This week I'm making an exception for the feather boa let loose on the sky.

These shots were all taken during about fifteen minutes on March 5, walking around my neighborhood.

The sky was a vibrant blue and the feather boa fluttered and stretched and roamed the sky.

I don't know when I've seen anything quite like it. The more I walked and looked up the more it took on a life of its own.

I love this time of year when the sky is the bluest of blue and anything against it stands out so well.

Blue skies are still a treat because most weeks we are continuing with as many or more rainy days than sunny ones.

I think blue skies are enhanced when something like a feather boa is tossed across it.

I guess I'll end with a couple more shots although I'm still not sure if this post includes my favorites.

Kind of hard to choose photos when the sky puts on a never ending show. That's why I usually only post one for sky watch because each week I take so many sky shots.

That's My World - The first seven days of March

This week I thought I would show you some of the photographs I've taken of my world during the first seven days of March, 2010.

The robin above makes me think of spring. Although there are robins in my world year round, I always see a lot more of them out and about in the spring and summer.

The brown thrashers (bird above) become very noisy as we move towards spring. I suppose they are calling out for mates.

The cardinals (male above) also raise quite a ruckus this time of year in my world.

We had a very light snow on Wednesday but not enough to threaten many of the early flowers.

My neighbor's red and white camellia is starting to bloom. My white camellias usually bloom when my neighbor's do but this year the white buds are still very tight and show some winter damage.

Some of the trees are starting to bud and even a few are beginning to flower.

The hawk is frequently swooping above me looking for prey. At least I think that's a hawk below. He was pretty far away so hard to get a very good close-up.

Every day there are more signs of spring which I love to see. It's feels like my world is coming to life.

I particularly like the way I can look up or down or straight ahead and something new awaits my discovery of its presence.

I am not eager for summer's heat but a little spring warmth is welcome.
