Woah - SWF in it’s new place is setting some records! 328 participants! That quite something - and
I’m happy to not only be a participant, but to have been able to contribute to it.
It’s like many really lasting and fun things.
It’s easy! And here’s my today’s SWF!

A long graceful neck against an incredibly blue sky! Wonderful, Klaus!

Incredible photo. Often I know your really big lens is part of why you get such great shots, but I can’t think so in this case. You have to be pretty cloe to get an angle like that. Very nice. Oh, the sky is beautiful, too! You had to Photoshop that. I’ve never seen a sky that blue with the humidity in Florida. Or maybe it’s not summer in the picture. Anyway, very impressed by this one!

Hi! You really have great shots and passion for wild life photography. Nice to see all these exellent pictures. I’ll be coming back.
ps. I’m getting disturbingly lots of these Looser, quit stealing my property signs. Is it just my connection, or is there something going on with your page? There seems to about 100 of them just on this page…

LOL - what Florida did you live in. That blue occurs her whenever the sun is shining. No big lens either - and my photoshopping never puts things into an image that were not there before - e.g. blue sky.
No - this guy was standing on a tin roof of a rain hut above me…
Cheers, Klaus

Klaus, another spectacular photo. Great composition, I would never have thought of that.

I lift my hat to you for that shot. Perfectly sharp and perfectly exposed. It’s great to see that. Thanks for sharing.

What an eye full of sky this guy is getting, and what an eye full he makes! Marvelous! I really like the crisp white and blue contrast, just like white linens hanging on the line to dry under the big blue sky.

Klaus, that is one awesome photo of an egret’s head like a white snake against that bright blue sky. How did you get so close! Another thunderstorm is rolling in so Im getting off the computer for now. I’ll check more Skywatch later. Thanks for your amazing contributions!

Really excellent birdy-photo. On top of that it´s really sharp and the colours are so good that it hurts.

Hi, glad that it was somewhat helpful. I got your message on my blog and it seems to have something to do with my firefox browser. I started your page with Explorer and it looks just as it’s supposed to, but in firefox it all gets messed up. I’m sorry but can’t figure it out what it is, I’m not supposed to be using any cache servers as far as it says in firefoxes controls.
Here’s the version info if it helps:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; fi; rv:1.8.1.16) Gecko/20080702 Firefox/2.0.0.16
