Skywatch Friday - Moon outside my window

I was getting ready for work early one morning. Too early that morning, I think. I opened the blinds in the dining room to see the moon hanging over our backyard right as the the sun came up. I grabbed my camera and took the above picture through the window. I didn't want to be late for work so I didn't bother running outside, because then I would have just taken way too much time taking pictures. I zoomed back in and was able to catch the osprey that sleeps on my neighbor's sailboat mast in the below picture.

Skywatch Friday - Almost dark at Fort Desoto.

I was standing on the fishing pier at Fort Desoto waiting for the sun to go down when I turned around and saw this big barge going into Tampa bay. The ships come between Fort Desoto and Egmont Key. Sometimes they seem to come so close. I always wonder where they are going and what it would be like to be on one of those big ships. I'd probably be seasick.

Two more pictures of Fort Desoto at sunset. I think this was 2 Tuesdays ago. It looks like in the middle picture that there was almost no one on the beach. I'm going to try and get there again at least once before the time changes and then it will be dark when I get off work.

Skywatch Friday - storm's a comin!

Summer storms are starting to come in. Above is the view coming home from work the last 2 days. I love it when it rains and cools off, but I hate sitting in traffic twice as long because it rains so it's a love/hate thing. My goal this summer though is to get more storm pictures. We'll see if I enough sense to come in from the rain!
