Skywatch Friday








Do you think tomorrow I can grow a basketball?

Skywatch The end of the storm was peeking through the eyes of the cloud

Skywatch Friday delivers

When I saw this truck on the hwy (as a passenger) it gave me pause for so many conflicting thoughts -- first one was well that may be one way to deliver 'love' --but since we know it is a gasoline truck I got to thinking about our 'love' of consuming this liquid gold- then the more I thought --- I just wanted to enjoy the beautiful clouds behind it and not think about it !
Or at least go back to my first thoughts

We all want our tomatoes to come guaranteed


and just seeing this is a refreshing site in the 100 degree weather

Skywatch Friday Reflections of the past

I thought this was a fitting title for this picture I snapped while waiting for along time for some road construction in Downtown Ft Worth

Then I looked around and saw some other reflections the sky in these old fashioned street lights

and also behind this statue in the windows

and the sun off this plaque


and this was just cool

Skywatch Friday Nests Falling

I looked out my kitchen window this AM and saw 3 birds looking like they were having a meeting -- but I could not get all three in the shot since I had my telephoto lens on and they were not very far away

So I snapped a separate one of this one and when I zoomed in I noticed ...it was a baby ..and could not fly... it looked as it it were looking ...

up in this big tree- saying--'mama where are you'?

And momma was up there directing the two down below in the grass-- to help-- please help my baby-- he fell--I'm not ready for him to leave the nest!!--


Then a couple hours later as I was leaving for my Yoga class I saw another cute/ugly/cute baby on the street

It seemed to have fallen from this nest-- I fretted -- should I pick it up? I can't reach the nest..... ugh, what should I do? I left --I turned around went back-- fretted more-- and finally went late to Yoga -- when I got back in two hours it was gone noo blood or cat in sight

and when I looked in the yard this was all I saw -- Do they get lifted by others or learn to fly that quickly? or like humans it is a little of both.


So throughout the rest of the day as I thought about baby birds, nests,falling-- cats -- I had to stop on the road for this and of course I was thinking I hope he doesn't fall

and then because of all this, I got to thinking.... I know my (baby)is old enough to fly am I ready for him to leave the nest?

Maybe this is a fitting post for Independence day?
