Skywatch Friday 27 (EST)

23 Categories: Skywatch Friday •July 4, 2008

Here’s the Eastern Standard Time Edition of my Skywatch Friday! - I start with the follow up to my GMT Edition - another dramatic Sky - and then, inspired by Bird Anonymous’ Post - let some Gulls fly over your heads.

Enjoy and a happy 4th of July!

P.S.: If you intend to post a comment via Cut & Paste - please don’t. I rather have no comment at all, then a comment that you can find on a hundred other sites. Thank you!

    Thanks for visiting my blog. You have an extremely beautiful Sky Watch entry. As for the Gulls overhead—I’m ducking fast, although I love the little webbed feet on the center pic. MB

    Another great Florida sky! And the gulls are superb too. Were you lying on your back to get these? If so, better be careful :-)

    Sweet birds, Klaus. The light coming through the gulls’ feathers is exquisite.

    That eastern version is really something! If you tried to paint a sky like that in a class — the teacher would probably say…you are getting carried away — the sky doesn’t look like that - BUT there it is - looking wild and streaked with color and gorgeous! Love the BIFs too. Very nice post!

    I was wondering how you would top yesterdays Sky Watch.
    This is purely stunning as are your other ones today as well.
    This is my favorite Sky Watch this week. :)

    Breathtaking photos. The clouds are fantastics. (I love clouds, so it’s hard to go wrong there, but they are incredible.) And the birds. The sky behind the birds just makes the shots fabulous.

    I’m LATE! HAHHAAA it’s almost lunchtime on Saturday in Sydney here ;) I’m blushing you were inspired by my Supermodelling Silver Gulls! Your gulls in flight are so much better! Thank goodness the Supergull isn’t an international competition ;) Excellent ones Klaus! *bwark*!*
