Cranes: What’s the big deal? We could fly up to the moon if we wanted to!
These are just perrrfect! π€© Added so much beauty and meaning to my morning. The tree tangled in the shape of a hear is everything! Clever nature and clever you, for capturing it from that perspective so perfectly.
Thank you for the wonderful comment, Sam. The THT is magic and even more magic with a descent moon winking at us through the tangles.
Yeah, a perfect wink! π€©
Oh wow! Tim! The moon in Holly’s Tangle Heart is fantabulous!
Of course, the others are, too… but yanno… π
As I mentioned to Sam, the moon winking at us through the Holly’s tree makes it more magical. Thanks, Dale
Yes it does. Great timing.
Ah, the cranes are a lovely finish to the moon show.
The cranes line to make a showing this time of year. Thanks, Cheyenne.
The cranes look unimpressed, but I think these are impressive photos.
The cranes are not impressed in the least. I’m happy you like the photos. Thanks, JYP.
Beautiful pictures Timothy π€
Thanks, Gabriela.
My pleasure. Hugs to everyone π€π€π€
Oh my god! They are just so beautiful π
Thanks, Hemalatha.
These photos are a real beauty!!π
Thanks, Ebar.
Ha. The ending there is grand. I always enjoy your pics, Tim; and the one with the moon in the center of the heart tree is amazing.
HI Timothy, these are wonderful. I love astrology. Your shot of Jupiter and its moons is terrific.
Thanks, Roberta.
Great Jupiter shot Timothy, I love the one where you see the moons and stars too.
Thanks, Rudi.
Love this batch.
Thanks, Shey.
See, they even line up for you or place themselves perfectly inside a heart! Even the cranes are astonished by this conspiracy! Bless you for making my day… again. π
I think the cranes are rather unimpressed, but that’s cranes for you. Thanks, Marina. I really appreciate your wonderful comments.
Oh, believe me when I tell you, it is 100% my pleasure! π
So beautiful! The Tangle Heart is over the moonπ .
Thanks, Holly. Makes all the more magical.
It certainly does!
Actually noticed and took the exact alignment shot last night while up her at Mayo for Linda’s annual checkup (minus the trees of course). Wasn’t sure what the exact border planets were so thanks for clearing that up.
Thanks, Brian. I hope all is well?
Annual checkup for Linda’s mechanical heart valve and pacer – after a day long battery of tests the results show everything is working perfectly! Always a stressful process (definitely for her), but relieved after our talk with the specialist – we couldn’t be happier considering what she had to go through when the procedure was done.
Great news. I can imagine what she went through. Ugh!
Postcard perfect!
Thanks, Michele.
Crazy, but I wouldn’t see any of this sky magic, if not for this blog. Thank you, Tim!
I need that Tangle-Heart for the next adventure, so I grabbed it onto my desktop.
I’ll also need a pic of Rebecca’s Bamboo. It needs to be dark (ish)
Remember DracGoth & someone have drained out all of the colour from the AGMs world.
I still have 3 pics to draw. I’ve done all of the AGMs in their gowns & Holly already picked a song!
You are welcome, Resa. I’m happy you get to see the sky. I’ll get you some bamboo pics from inside and out.
YAYAY!!!!!
Fabulous pictures! I loved the moon in the Tangle Heart Tree. And those cranes undoubtedly are trying to steal the show.
Thank you for always bringing me a smile.
You are welcome, Nancy. Always happy to give yo a smile Thanks for stopping in.
It is a beautiful lineup of photos, Tim. It rained here again last night, but it is our rainy season now in western Oregon. Not much night sky viewing these days.
I love those cranes, too. They are beautiful, graceful birds.
Thanks, Lavinia. We are having mostly clear skies. As dry as it ever was.
Do you have a good view of the constellation Orion where you are?
Yes we do. I have noticed where it is in the sky right now.
Tim your photographs of the moon and Jupiter is unbelievable. Crazy gorgeous skies you photograph and I can’t get enough of the beautiful birds, that blue is just so stunning. It always looks like God is throwing a special kiss in the sky where you are. The picture of the moon within the Tangled Heart Tree is so lovely. xoxoxoxox Joni
WE get great skies out here. Thanks, Joni.
Yes I suppose they donβt belong to you, haha so true. Yes your shots of the sky is always a special treat Tim. Hugs you two. π€π€π€
Oh your pics are always amazing and I am so laughing at that last picture with the cranes.. I want to be them for a day.. πππ
It would be fun to fly like a crane. Thanks, Cindy.
It sure would!!! You’re sooo welcome! π
