Good morning!
this week's Skywatch Friday is supplemented by sound. Not any sound, but the beautiful sound of a synanthrope species. What a privilege to wake up to the morning voice of the blackbird.

The day turned out to be a top Skywatch Friday, with all the clouds finally making way for the looong and desperately awaited sunbeams. The sun makes everyone and everything rejoice, including butterflies.

Cleverly composed shot...kudos... or is it from a Japanese Godzilla movie? [just kidding] BTW..we were in Wien this summer [made a few postings]; a lot to see!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteSometimes you are lucky and have the right museum to your right. :-)
I would not have seen what was there to be seen without a look at the camera display. Sometimes you have to frame a view to see it as it is.
Vienna never ceases to entertain me, a picturesque city with many surprising views.
Dawn does look like it's waking up while dusk looks like it's happy to go to sleep. That butterfly photo, wow! Sweet blackbird. :-)
ReplyDeleteI love your "sun story"! Thank you for taking a closer look at my photos. :-)
DeleteThe butterfly shot is amazing! And your skill shows through in the other photos, too.

Oh, thank you Kay! The butterfly shot starts growing on me, I found myself enlarging it again, and again, admiring the soft tones and reflections.
DeleteGorgeous photos and I especially enjoyed your video with the beautiful sounds. I love Vienna. My daughter and I were there last summer and enjoyed every minute of it!
ReplyDeleteThank you Lois! It's nice to hear we share the love for this beautiful city.
DeleteHey I learned something new because of you and I thank for it and the beautiful photos. Is Synurbic a valid words with friends word?
ReplyDeleteThank you Yogi for putting up Skywatch Friday!
DeleteI am not sure what you mean by "valid words with friends word".
What I do know is that rats are synurbic as well. The word in German is "Kulturfolger" = "to follow civilisation".
Paula, like your use of mixed media. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThank you Doug, for visiting my blog. Mixed media? Yes, now that you said it I see it, too. Thank you for the eyeopener. :-)
DeleteThose are pretty skies. I love that butterfly!
ReplyDeleteThis feels so good: sharing the joy for beautiful skies.
DeleteThe butterfly is actually am advertising stunt. I wonder if they were aware of the museum nearby.
Gorgeous sky!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comment, Brian! I share your love for birds.
