Sandhill Crane doing a swan dive @ 5:00. “Banzai!”
Sunset
Off Center & Not Even 
A lovely crane, and bookends of the day, Tim. That sunset is particularly nice with its blue and gold, and black lace trees.
Thanks, Lavinia.
I give her a good 9.5 for form!
And you get a 10 for all three lovely images.
Thanks, Dale.
All beautiful!
Thanks, Susan.
Beautiful beginning and end to the day. And a perfect swan dive.
Those cranes have good form. Thanks, Maj & Sher.
What skies you have, Tim, and capture so well, too!
The Crane one is marvellous.
We do have beautiful skies. Thanks, Inchcock.
Love the morning sky – and great catch of the crane!
Thanks, Frank.
Gorgeous sunset
Thanks, Drew.
I would certainly have the same type of lift off waking up to such a sky and then change roles to Daddy Owl watching the sunset! 😉
Hi Marina. Funny thing is I did not see Daddy Owl last night. He must have been out hunting. I couldn’t see Mama Owl in her nest, either. So I called to her, and she poked the top of her head up enough to see over the edge of the hole and take a quick look at the stupid paparazzo calling to her. Then she slipped back out of view. I was satisfied with her presenting herself, walked back to the house and photographed the sunset.
I love it how you check on your feathered friends! 😉
Pretty much every night for mama and daddy owls since they are next door. I start walking down and checking on Nora more often. She’s a mile north so that’s more of a commitment to walk up and check on her.
See?! That’s what I mean! 😉😊
Spectacular skies Timothy. CAme back espesh to get a proper look at them.
Thanks, Shey. I happy you got a proper look. I don’t want to inspire any one to impropriety.
Lol!!
Crane doing a swan dive, good play on words. Your sky is so magnificent.
Swan dive @ 5 nonetheless. Thanks, Mary Jo.
That too, yes! 🙂
Beautiful swan dive. It’s a picture perfect day, morning to night.
It was clouding in the morning and clear by nightfall. Cloudy again this morning and still cloudy. No a sprinkle of precipitation. Thanks, Resa.
Oh, here we go. Now it is behaving, Tim. Both your clouds and your beautiful swan pictures are stunning!!! The detail in both are a big WOW!!! It would seem you are seeing some unusual cloud formations as I have been. The colors in our skies lately have been phenomenal. Hope you are having a great day! xo
Thanks, Amy Rose. Interesting clouds have been moving through. No precipitation, however.
Gorgeous.

Thanks, Gabriela.
My pleasure. Hugs to everyone 🤗🤗🤗
We appreciate the hugs. The cats send purrs and kitty kisses.
We are delighted. Thank you so much. Give them our love.
Wow, beautiful photos.
Thanks, Miriam.
Oh, Tim – is that a shooting star?! Truly awe-inspiring. I feel the presence of Peter Pan and hear the whispered words: “Second star to the right and straight on ’til morning. ”
Sorry to say it’s an aeroplane, but it’s nice to think of it as a shooting star. Peter Pan was most certainly surfing on it. Thanks, Rebecca.
Shhh….nobody needs to know! LOL!
Your pictures are astonishing! Beautifully astonishing! Birdwatching is such a peaceful, quiet, and pleasant activity, you probably have great time doing that in your place.
The cranes are rather noisy and the owls hoot all night long, but I love all the bird noises. Did you get a change to listen to Cranes in the Key of C? You can hear what the cranes sound like. Also, theres a song with Coyotes.
Love that crane!
Thanks, Julie.
