Skywatch Friday
Between the excitement of Peregrine 568s recovery and getting ready for tomorrow's book signing, I almost forgot that today is Skywatch Friday. You create a blog with photos of sky and then you add your link to the Skywatch site. While there, you should check out everyone's photos of sky. Some of my favorites this week are at Desert Observer, Jim's Little Photo Place, and Shimmy Mom.
My entry for this week takes us back to Cape Cod for the Swarovski Blogging Event. While we were getting photos of shorebirds, we could see fog approaching us. See the low darker clouds on the horizon?
The fog never overtook the beach, but seemed a sinister dream land just off the shore. It was strange to see it just sit there out of reach of the surf.
It crept in and touched the beach, the sky coming in to touch the sand. Gulls were loafing just inside the mist.
I tried to digiscope them and the black-backed gulls sat in the fog and looked a tad expectant. What were they waiting for? Or perhaps they wondered about the group of humans on the edge of the mist observing them, wonder what it was all about.

Great photos, a place that brings back memories. My wife and I had our honeymoon there. Nice posting for SWF.
Watching the fog roll in! I would love that. Wonderful gull picture too
That third picture is especially cool and spooky. Like that! :)
Great shots but love that beach one, where the beach just dissappears into the mist.
Really wonderful photos! I especially love the last two... they are mysterious and make me want to see what is outside the frame!
These are great photos of cape cod! I miss it, and you captured it so well, that it brings back wonderful memories! Well done and great photos!
Beautiful photos,the one with tthe gulls is particularly good.
Beautiful - love the mood!
Cheers, Klaus
Amazing! Love the third one -- terrific!
Beautiful photos! Amazing to watch how the fog rolls in! Really cool!
Lovely, misty photos. They make me want to take a deep breath of sea air.
I also never heard of Skywatch Friday. It is a briliant idea and I'm going to add a Skywatch photo to my blog too. Thanks so much for teaching me something new.
Precious pictures and memories. Breathtaking.

Nice photos - especially the last one - different and lovely:) have a nice weekend.
Hi BC, this is really neat that you photographed the fog coming in. You pictures are great. I wasn't expecting you to end with the gulls but it stands to reason because you were there also for catching the birds on camera.
I've often wondered why birds generally all face one direction, cows stand with their back sides to the wind, I don't know about birds.
Thank you for you visit. I wouldn't have known you came except for your link and nice Kudos here! Thank you for that, I was pretty satisfied myself.
It was a very pretty day in a pretty setting. I had not imagined a Guatemala looking so pretty.
Happy Skywatching for next week! :-)

BTW, I scrolled down, you are a busy lady! Congratulations on your second book, I hope the signing went well.

Lovely gentle scenes of sea, sky and those lovely birds.
I love the cheeky raptor on your headr.
Fog can create so many amazing effects, I especially like it when it creates a shell and changes the way things sound. It's really nice to watch it roll in too.
It looks like you had a great outing.
