How's the view from up there? Sky Watch Friday

Nice view!

While dining out if Florida, it's always a pleasure to side outside with a beautiful water view...

We will often have feather friends stop by and visit just hoping some food will come their way...

...or maybe they come to enjoy the view too.

Sometimes you're just afraid to look up...I was hoping he wouldn't take off too fast! You never know what might happen...

Sharing this with all those who are not afraid to Sky Watch Friday and look up! Check them out!

Birds in the Sky!

We love going to the beach that is just a 4 minute drive from us to catch sunset. We better go now while we can because before long we will be full of seasonal tourists. Yes the "snow birds" will be coming! Thus the beaches will be crowded, and the restaurants, and the roads.... Anyway when we were driving out to see sunset, the sky was so clear as it has been lately. I said it won't be much of an interesting sunset with out some clouds. Well the sunset was fine, but the birds were out like you wouldn't believe. When I was trying to get a pic some pelicans diving of course they dove just off screen all three of them, or my camera delayed just enough. Aghhh!

I did get them skimming though, and it was so funny because it was almost like it was raining birds, they were all dropping into the water. Pelicans weren't the only birds diving for fish this evening! Here are a few that I was able to get a photo of!

as the sun is setting...

It almost looks like a shark!

These look prehistoric...

Ahhhh....
Enjoy other Sky Watch Friday photos from all around the planet!!

Yellow Feet ~ Mellow Yellow Monday

We were going under one of the draw bridges on the way back from Venice in the intercoastal waterway, and this guy was just hanging out waiting for the tide to go out. The tide was rushing out at this point and the small boat we were in had a hard time getting through the small area we had to get through, at idel speed. Had to click the yellow feet!

This will be linked to this weeks Mellow Yellow Monday ! Come on join in, it's fun!

Camera Critters ~ herons or egrets~

You'll find herons all over Florida, they a pretty common. They like to hang out with fishermen...

...just in case they happen to drop a fish...
...or turn their back for a while...or maybe the sad puppy dog look will work and they get a toss...

The boat launch is another popular place to see them. Some fishermen will clean their catch here and then there is a treat!

He's pretty cool just hanging around!

I found out when I was used google to see if the fellow above was an egret or heron or what... It seems that egrets are herons or the difference is so slim. I guess an egret is a heron that is white or buff in color.

This guy was in our yard hunting for himself. It was taken when it was raining, right now we are so dry. Gorgeous dry 83 degree weather all week!

Here they go after lizards, frogs and snakes! Oh my!
