SWF......Backyard sunrise

For this weeks Skywatch Friday  I have some early morning skies from my backyard. I also have my sunrise on youtube click here  Sunrise and the sounds of my backyard birds . I enjoy listening to my yardbirds while watching the sky. Some of the birds I heard were the Titmouse, Bluejays, Crows, White Throated Sparrow and a Pileated woodpecker.

It was a cloudy day but there were some spots of the pretty blue sky breaking thru. Some sections of the clouds turn a pretty pinkish color during the sunrise.





"My favorite weather is bird chirping weather."  Terri Guillemets





"I thank you God for this most amazing day, for leaping greenly spirits of trees and
 for the blue dream of sky and for everything that is natural, which is infinite, which is yes." quote by E.E. Cummings


I hope you enjoyed my skywatch and to see more beautiful skies

  5. You worked the light so beautifully to create these serene scenes.
    Still no leaves I noticed, so not a day for breakfast outside yet :-)

  7. Lovely views from your backyard,looks like you had a changing view throughout the day.
    I never mind the hazy sky in So Cal, it keeps the heat away until late afternoon at least!

  12. I really love that you make it possible for us to hear the sounds as well as to see the sights. Your birds sound almost tropical (to my ear, anyway).

  32. I LOVED your Skywatch. That soft dream-like sky -- and the quotes are lovely. Especially love that bird-chirping one -- one of the joys of retired life is to wake up slowly to the birds chirping! (But I'm not as good as you are at identifying the songs.)

  37. Hi there - thanks for the comment on my photo blog.

    I really like the last picture in the ones you have posted here - that fell of "is it blue or is it grey" in the sky through the trees. Splendid.
