Omen? (Skywatch)
We came home from work one night last week to find this fine specimen of a crow perched atop a tree outside our garage. Despite the car, the garage doors, our conversation, and other disruptions, he didn’t move. I was surprised until I saw a gr...
Skywatch
I planned to go out after work and take photos of the yard, the flowers blooming in the butterfly garden, and the variety of birds and wildlife wandering through the yard. Of course, it rained as soon as I left work. On the way out to parking, I took...

Skywatch, with Common Yellowthroat
I saw this species in the backyard for the first time last year. I’ve seen him twice this year so far, including once on the deck rail – but not at an angle good for photography. So these distance shots will have to do for now. Skywatch...

New River Birding Skywatch
We saw this bird building its nest as we were walking around the Opossum Creek property. This is the same walk on which Lynne saw and photographed her Hooded Warbler lifer. Gnatcatchers like to build out of lichen. The female pats the nest into shap...

Another Alaska Skywatch
I liked the light in this photo, even though it suffers from being taken from a moving bus. If you look closely, you can also see a bald eagle in the middle of the water. ...
Skywatch: Lunchtime
You’ve heard the expression, “the middle of nowhere?” Yep, that’s where we had lunch. Great view, but the facilities left something to be desired. It was all part of the adventure, and we took it in good spirit, sitting in gr...
Manta Ray Skywatch
This photo is one my Dad took near the end of our visit to the Aquarium of the Pacific. We were both playing around with our cameras taking photos of the ray. I thought this was the most interesting result, featuring the ray in enough detail to recog...

Skywatch and back to Alaska
I get distracted easily, but as I recall, not too long ago I was sharing photos from our trip of a lifetime to Alaska. In this one, you see the sky behind the Anchorage visitor center. I love the green, growing roof. This was the first day we were ...
