Great clouds you get out there! We get more snow…
You can have your snow, although it would be nice to have in the mountains. Thanks, Teri.
While we may have it… I am not terribly fond of it.
Beautiful Timothy. Thank you for sharing. There are never owls in my tree. Why is that?
Your are welcome. I can’t say where your owls might be. But you can see them in our trees. Thanks, Gabriela.
My pleasure. Have a beautiful evening 🤗
You too. Give Maya and Mr Churchill a hug for me.
Thank you so much. Hugs to everyone 🤗🥰
Lovely gallery, Timothy 🙂
Thanks, Dale.
In my short time here, I can say that I like the variety in your collections.
Thanks, Frank. I try to get variety in the critters, landscapes, trees, etc., even though they are all pretty much the same.
I invite you to consider a collaboration at my end. At least think about it. https://beachwalkreflections.wordpress.com/collaborators/
Thank you very much for the invitation. I’m flattered you would consider my photos. However, I have so much going on that it would be one more thing I can’t make time for right now.
And that’s ok … keep it in mind …. especially if we can agree on the theme that would be easy for you.
I’ll keep it mind, Thanks.
Thank you!
It might be my saccades, but the wonderful owls seem to be smiling at you, Tim? Nice!
Could be, but I think the wind was blowing smiles onto their faces. Thanks, Inchcock.
Ah, not thought of that. Tim.
Still too cloudy to see the moon up here. Nice owls!
Thanks, Lavinia.
Lovely to see sun espesh in the middle of all our snow.
Happy you can see a bit of blue. Thanks, Shey.
Believe me, I am happy too. Been snowing non stop since last night here.
Seems like a lot of places are getting snow. It was mostly sunny and 21ºC here yesterday afternoon.
Yeah it has stopped now finally .
The Crescent moon is my favorite phase! Beautiful photos Tim! Have a wonderful day.
Thanks, Holly.
There’s a majestic grandeur about those owls and the wind just enhances it! 😉
The trees silhouettes and the moon rising are beautiful. I was looking for the moon behind that x mark, I will never know, will I?! 😉 Happy to see your painter at work!
Happy Tuesday, my friend!
The moon was long set by the they time the X happened. The winds in the upper atmosphere were making interesting patterns right after those jets crossed paths. Thanks, Marina.
Beautiful skies, and that moon, oh my. I’d say the owls look unruffled, but that would be untrue. 🙂
The owls were a bit ruffled by the wind, but that’s about it. Thanks, Mary Jo.
WOW!!! I feel that I have travelled to the moon and back. There is such grandeur in your moon photography – it is the most amazing that I have ever seen. And I see that you have just published another post. Heading over there now!
Thanks, Rebecca. My new lens aptly name The Bazooka by Herman at Hands on Bowie & Jimi is excellent for shooting the moon.
Your photos always amaze me, Tim! I am very fond of that crescent moon shot! 🌜
Thanks, Tiffany.
Wonderful Tim .. 👏
Thanks, Julie.
What made that X? Jets?
Hi Resa. It was jets. I was hoping the were going to cross closer together, but they ended up making an X. The wind in the upper atmosphere was making nice patterns in the contrails before they go quickly blown to pieces.
Nice!
