A different sky

I love blue skies with white fluffy clouds but I also
love to see a different type of sky, so when I looked
out of the bedroom window a couple of evenings ago,
and saw this sky,I just had to photograph it.I took the
first three one evening and the second two the following
evening.For those of you with good eyesight,in the 4th
photo,you can just make out some of the Welsh hills.We
are blessed here with a wonderful view of part of the Dee
Estuary and beyond that,the hills and fields of Flintshire
in North Wales.Every day, when I see this view,I know how
fortunate I am.

Evening sky at Aberdaron

Aberdaron

We recently had a family holiday in Aberdaron in
North Wales. This is a view of the beach, looking
towards Ynys Gwylan-fawr and Ynys Gwlan-bach.

girls and Chase(the dog) stayed in

Now for a quick lesson in the Welsh language.Ynys is Welsh
for island,bach means little and fawr is large. Aber means at
the mouth of the river,so Aberdaron stands at the mouth
of the river Daron and Abersoch at the mouth of the river Soch

More ships

Some more shipping photos from my husband.If anyone wants

Ships on the Mersey

For this week's Friday Skywatch, I've borrowed some of my
husband's photos.For the last couple of years, he has spent hours
taking photos of shipping on the Mersey.These are just a few of
them,he's got thousands more!

Sunset and clouds

I took the first two photos on Tuesday evening. I had
just come out of our WI meeting and saw this lovely sky.
Luckily,I don't live far from the church hall, and I broke
all records getting home! I grabbed my camera and hurtled
up the road to get the sky before it faded.Then yesterday,I
was in the garden when I noticed how different the sky
looked from different angles.

Return of the song thrush

I hope I'll be forgiven for posting these on Sky Watch as I realise
they are not strictly sky photos.However,this is the little chap who
was in my first picture yesterday.He came back this morning and
sat quite happily, preening himself while I photographed him.I hope
he's decided that I'm harmless and that the only thing I am going
to shoot him with is a camera!
