Off Center & Not Even 
Beautiful! I hear the Sandhill Cranes are back in our area. I can’t wait to see them.
Thanks, Rebecca.
I love all of these. It would be too hard to choose a favorite.
Thanks, Liz.
You’re welcome, Tim.
Wow those are stunning Tim!
💗
Thanks, Cindy.
Yep yep! 💗
“Cottonball Dawn” is the perfect title. Mystery bird looks kinda smallish next to whatever he’s perched on.
The mystery bird was a little guy. Thanks, Maj & Sher.
Beautiful sceneries!
Thanks, Heidi.
What a wonderful dawn! Those 3 cranes follow the cloud path beautifully!
Thank you for my daily fix!
A fine bomber squadron.
They are. Thanks, Couriers.
These are stunning
Thanks, Shey.
Wow, wie wundervoll und die Kanadakraniche am rötlichen Himmel. Top!
Thanks, einfachtilda.
Sehr gerne!
Stunning – Love the creative title “Cottonball Dawn” I can say “Golden Cottonball Dawn”
There was lots of gold in those cottonball clouds for sure. Thanks, Faseeh.
Could that be the zodiacal light captured in the last photo with the Pleiades?
It could be. I can’t say for sure. Thanks, Brad.
Skies and cranes for the win!
Thanks, Teri.
Sandhill cranes in a flying-V flying below those pink candy floss clouds is a glorious picture; an unusual sight for me. I don’t see these cranes in my region
And the hidden mystery bird.
Jupiter so shy, wow.
Thanks, abvr.
You are welcome Timothy.
Good night and rest well.
Lovely photos today, have a great week Tim!
Thanks, Tiffany. You too.
I do love me a cotton ball sky and those birds need to line up (though they were probably in mid-shift) and that starry sky is so beautiful.
Altocumulus of dawn are beautiful! I enjoyed all these images, Tim. I did get to see the growing crescent moon yesterday after sundown, beaming a sideways smile through a hole in the cloud cover. Snow coming later this week.
Thanks, Lavinia. Snow was forcast at one point, but no snow at the moment We have had 3/100th of an inch of rain this month.
Beautiful!
Thanks, Inge.
Those Sandhill Cranes and cotton ball clouds! Love!
Thanks, Nancy.
Beautiful shots, Tim. Love those skies as well as the cranes!
Thanks, Bruce.
Many stories told in these photos. Exquisite!
Thanks, Michele.
That second photo looks like a painting!
It does have a painterly look about it. Thanks, JYP.
Ah, there’s the Pleaides! Now I know what to look for. Even with our city haze, on occasion the stars shine through. There was an opportunity to see the yellow crescent moon descending through some clouds and then Orion when they cleared on Sunday night. Your skies & clouds are the best. 🙂
Thanks, Mary Jo. That’s good you can see the stars from time to time.
Read your title too quick and thought it said Cottonball D”o”wn and was anticipating some reference to Watership Down and bloody rabbits… no such thing ha! If you are not familiar with that book (my favorite), DO not watch the horrible acid-trip movie adaptation – that director should should have been flogged. Those cranes need to go to Goose School to get those V’s tightened up.
Maybe if they would stop goosing each other they could get a better V. Thanks, Brian.
Those are cotton balls!
The stars at night… I took a pic of Charlotte’s gown (what there is) in the dark. The sequins look like stars in the dark.
Good grief, everything looks like gowns to me! xx
All gowns all the time.
Tim – you have captured the calm vibrancy of early morning, my most favourite time of day.
Thanks, Rebecca.
Great! Those three bird’s flying across the painted sky.
Thanks, Geoff.
That’s one of my fav sky pics of yours. Amazing shot, Tim.
Thanks, Jeff.
Amazing cotton ball dawn! Do you have a fav Tim?
No favs. Thanks, Julie.
