Sky Watch Friday

The cold weather has kept me indoor a lot lately. One day we had a break when the temperature went up enough for me to get out and enjoy the sunshine. I drove up to Lily Lake and took these shots of the swans and ducks in the open water, surrounded of course by ice.






At least the sky was blue and clear above, as this funny little guy strutted around on the ice.




Just a few days later the temperature rose again for 24 hours or so. We returned to the lake, and found most of the ice had melted.




Sky Watch is hosted by Klaus, Ivar, Fishing Guy, Sandy, Louise and Wren. If you go to their site, here, you can join in, or view 300 or so photos of skies around the world.

Camera Critters # 20

Swans are such beautiful birds. We have many on the lakes in Cape May Point, NJ. One day while visiting Lily Lake I saw at least two dozen on the water.


I took a few pictures, though I could never capture all of them at once.


On another day I saw five. This is unusual, since they are usually in pairs. Perhaps one had lost a mate. First I saw them swimming together. Later I spotted them at rest.






































And I just have to add this one even though I've posted it before - on Mothers' Day I think.















Misty hosts Camera Critters each week allowing us to share our photos with one another. Please take time to stop by and enjoy some of the wonderful images we have to show you.
